Abstract
The way we access pornography has certainly changed over time, as has the depth and breadth of pornographic content. Yet, despite decades of research on the effects of pornography, far less is known about specific genres, consumption patterns, and the characteristics of those consuming varying types of content. Utilizing Google search trends and image searches, this research explores the interest and relationships at the macro level within the niche of youth-oriented pornography. Results indicate that interest varies based on gender, age, geographic origin, and income. Future research and policy implications based upon the findings are discussed.

Wekî ku lêkolînerê niha ya vir ve dikare tenê lêkolînên me ji hêla analîzên me ve ronahî re dipeyivî, divê lêkolînên pêşeroj bêne kirin ku ji bo agahdariya rastkirina derheq û ravekên rastîn ên bi rexnografiya ciwanan-oriented ve girêdayî ye. Bi giştî, encamên ku her sê hestiyên piştgirî bûne nîşan dikin. Me dît ku di nav rêjeya fikrografiyê de, nimûne pornography, û Hentai vegotin, which is unsurprising given the popularity of the niches among and widespread availability content via pornographic hubs (Ogas and Gaddam 2011). Clearly the interest in youth-oriented pornography has increased over the past decade, and that increase appears to coincide with what Gill (2008, 2012) and others argue is the continued ‘‘sexualization of culture’’. Only the search interest in Lolita pornography has decreased, most likely a result of the antiquated terminology and decrease in popularity, as more specific queries have arisen. Moreover, the evidence supports our hypothesis that those seeking out these subgenres within the niche of teenage pornography are a heterogeneous population rather than a homogenous group. Not only does the interest in types of youth-oriented pornography vary, but so too do the characteristics of the consumers seeking out the varying niches examined here.
