porn’ and BDSM pornography in order to
explore stylistic differences/similarities.
o Broadened search terms at the search engine
level (eg ‘free porn’ rather than ‘rape porn’).
o Explored whether rape porn is hosted within the
most accessed generic websites in UK.

Findings: 2012
•Of the top ten Google search results for ‘free porn’, half the websites
host free rape pornography;
•Of the top 500 most visited generic websites: twenty were
pornographic, nine host rape pornography.
•Based on very early stages of a comparative view of rape pornography
(RP) and BDSM porn videos, there appears to be discernible stylistic
differences between the two. Including;
•clearly staged (BDSM) V claims of authenticity (RP);
•hints of consent (BDSM) V non-consensual/forced (RP);
•women as active & passive players (BDSM) V Women always
victims (RP);
•seemingly pleasure in pain (BDSM) V No pleasure, only pain (RP).
