背景：色情制品的容易获得使其在青少年中的使用变得普遍。性和性别少数群体（SGM）（例如，同性恋，变性人）青少年可能更倾向于使用色情，由于性取向相关的信息寻求和/或潜在的浪漫或性伴侣的稀缺，相对较少关注他们的色情使用和异性恋之间的相似性和差异的定量检查，本研究的目的是在考虑潜在性别差异的情况下比较SGM和HC青少年的色情内容使用情况。（52.5%女孩; M-年龄= 14.5岁，SD = 0.6），这是作为正在进行的青少年性健康纵向研究的一部分收集的。数据进行了分析，5组：HC男孩; HC女孩; SGM男孩; SGM女孩;和SGM non-binary individuals.Outcomes：青少年完成了自我报告问卷关于性和性别少数地位和色情使用（即，终身使用，首次接触的年龄，和使用频率在过去3个月。结果如下：结果表明，所有群体之间存在显著差异：88.2%的HC男孩，78.2%的SGM男孩，54.2%的SGM女孩，39.4%的HC女孩和29.4%的SGM非二元个体报告在14岁之前观看过色情作品。SGM女孩表明，在第一次使用色情制品的年龄比HC女孩显着年轻，但这种差异在男孩中并不显着。SGM男孩报告最高（中位数：每周多次），而HC女孩报告最低（中位数：少于一个月一次）使用色情的频率。临床翻译：结果表明，高中生和高中生的色情使用特征相当相似，而高中生和高中生的色情使用模式可能被认为是不同的，因为不同的潜在动机（例如，使用色情来确认性取向）。优点和局限性：自我报告的措施和横截面设计有潜在的偏见，应该考虑。然而，本研究涉及大量青少年样本，包括SGM青少年，这是一个研究不足的人群。结论：在目前的样本中，大约三分之二的青少年第一次接触色情内容，52.2%的青少年报告在过去3个月内每周使用一次或更频繁，表明色情内容的使用可能在HC和SGM青少年的性发育中起重要作用。无论SGM的地位如何，基于性别的色情使用差异似乎都很强大。版权所有（C）2020，国际性医学学会。爱思唯尔公司出版All rights reserved.
Background: The ease of access to pornography has made its use common among adolescents. Although sexual and gender minority (SGM) (eg, gay, transgender) adolescents may be more prone to use pornography owing to sexual orientation-related information seeking and/or scarcity of potential romantic or sexual partners, relatively little attention has been paid to their pornography use and to the quantitative examination of the similarities and differences between heterosexual, cisgender (HC) and SGM adolescents' pornography use characteristics.Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare SGM and HC adolescents' pornography use considering potential sex differences.Methods: We used a sample of 2,846 adolescents (52.5% girls; M-age = 14.5 years, SD = 0.6), which was collected as part of an ongoing longitudinal study on adolescents' sexual health. Data were analyzed with 5 groups: HC boys; HC girls; SGM boys; SGM girls; and SGM non-binary individuals.Outcomes: Adolescents completed a self-report questionnaire about sexual and gender minority status and pornography use (ie, lifetime use, age at first exposure, and frequency of use in the past 3 months.)Results: Results indicated significant differences between all groups: 88.2% of HC boys, 78.2% of SGM boys, 54.2% of SGM girls, 39.4% of HC girls, and 29.4% of SGM non-binary individuals reported having ever viewed pornography by the age of 14 years. SGM girls indicated a significantly younger age at first pornography use than HC girls, but this difference was not significant among boys. SGM boys reported the highest (median: many times per week), whereas HC girls reported the lowest (median: less than once a month) frequency of pornography use.Clinical Translation: Results suggest that SGM and HC boys' pornography use characteristics are rather similar, whereas SGM and HC girls' pornography use patterns may be considered different presumably because of the varying underlying motivations (eg, using pornography to confirm sexual orientation).Strengths & Limitations: Self-report measures and cross-sectional designs have potential biases that should be considered. However, the present study involved a large sample of adolescents including SGM adolescents, a population group that is understudied.Conclusion: Approximately two-thirds of teenagers had gained their first experience with pornography in the present sample, and 52.2% reported using it once a week or more often in the past 3 months, indicating that pornography use may play an important role in both HC and SGM adolescents' sexual development. Gender-based differences concerning pornography use seem to be robust regardless of SGM status. Copyright (C) 2020, International Society for Sexual Medicine. Published by Elsevier Inc.
