Compound Adjective Debate

I just posted a question as an anonymous user but don't see it anywhere so my apologies if this is a duplicate.

A friend and I are having a debate. If I were referring to something that really excites someone studying English as a major, would the correct usage be "English major porn" or "English-major porn"?

Thanks in advance!
