 The word "porn" has become slightly more generic than that in informal speech. See eg. Scenery Porn on TVTropes. So, searching for "sex porn" is probably mostly redundant, but not necessarily completely so. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.92.148|162.158.92.148]] 13:16, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
-:Alas, "porn" is rather entrenched as meaning sexual, so "sex porn" is indeed pretty completely redundant. And there's enough of it that a search is unlikely to have a generic use appear in the first several pages of results, making specificity unnecessary. It's widely understood that a qualifier is required when using it generically, such as a Subreddit I know of called EarthPorn (which features beautiful landscape pictures). - NiceGuy1[[Special:Contributions/162.158.126.76|162.158.126.76]] 04:28, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
