Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity May Influence Teen Porn Use

Adolescents may use pornography differently, depending on their sexual orientation and gender identity. 

A recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study reported that sexual and gender minority (SGM) girls may use porn to learn more about their own sexuality. 

Researchers surveyed 2,846 Canadian ninth-graders. The participants' average age was 14.5.

About two-thirds of the teens had seen pornography at least once. The average age of first exposure was 12 years. 

Heterosexual, cisgender (HC) boys said they had used porn about once a week during the previous 3 months. SGM boys reported viewing porn "many times" a week during the same period.
