Issue with data pattern regex

I work for a school district, and am struggling with putting in place a data pattern regex that will block some common keywords related to pornography. Here is the format I am using (with the list being 'cleaned-up':

My list is longer than the example I've given here (meeting the 7-byte requirement), but it is not working consistently. Some keywords get blocked, but others do not. I am trying to block specific pornography-related terms on Google searches, etc., to supplement the URL filtering database. Any ideas?

I can attach the exact data pattern regex I am using if anyone wants to look at it, but it is of course NSFW.
