2. WHAT IS SEXTING?
• Sexting is sending sexually explicit messages, photos, or
video via cell phone, computer, or any digital device. Sexting
includes photos and videos containing nudity or show or
simulate sex acts. It also includes text messages that
discuss or propose sex acts.

3. SEX ADDICTION AND SEXTING
• Sexual addiction is related to obsessive and compulsive
thoughts and actions, and the inability to control behavior,
even when the addiction is destroying family relationships,
self-esteem, a career, and even finances. Similar to other
addictions, sexual addiction is progressive in nature. This
means that the person who suffers from sexual addiction will
spend more and more time and energy engaging in the
specific behaviors related to their addiction.

4. WHY IS SEXTING A PROBLEM?
• A photo shared between two
people can quickly become a
viral phenomenon. A child may
believe it will be kept private
and then discover it has been
shared widely with their peers,
sometimes with grave
consequences. These include
arrests of teens who shared
photos of themselves or other
underage teens and suicides
of teens who had their photos
shared.

5. IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT SEXTING
• Half of teen girls cite pressure from guys as a reason to
send explicit messages, while only 18 percent of teen
boys say they have been pressuring girls.
• Photos and videos sent privately can easily be shared
with others, even if using apps that promise privacy and
that images will be removed after a brief time.
• You can't "take it back." Deleting post or message is no
safeguard against it having already been received,
copied, and sent to others.
