	[[Karl Andersson]] has noted that during the 1990s, there existed a "boy" genre of gay male pornography, in which the youths depicted were from around the age of 16 or so, and often hired casually on fake IDs. Documenting the legal controversy surrounding [[Wikipedia:Sebastian Bleisch\|Sebastian Bleisch]] (a gay porn producer who specialized in such content), Andersson identifies the subsequent disappearance of "boy" content and emergence of the post-internet "twink" genre as a major assimilationist juncture. Following the 1990s, the "twinks" depicted were mainly men in their 20s, shorn of their hair and "dragged up" to look like the teenage boys who would never return to the screen.
