Why Is Sexting Dangerous? by sloo1: 11:08am On Nov 21, 2013
What is sexting?

Sexting is the act of sending sexually explicit messages, videos or photos electronically, primarily between mobile phones.

Why do people do it?

People sext to show off, to entice someone, to show interest in someone, or to prove commitment.

Other reasons people sext include the following:

To flirt with someone they hope to be in a relationship with.

Because someone has already sent them an explicit photo and they feel pressured to ‘return the favor.’

Why is sexting dangerous?

1. Once a photo is sent, you lose control of that image, and it is impossible to take it back.

2. Once sent you can not control how it might be used - The person receiving it can forward the image, copy it, post it online, or share it with anyone.

3. The probability that, at least, one other person will see the image is very high.

4. Sometimes a man will mass forward an explicit photo of a woman either to entertain his friends or to retaliate after a breakup.

5. In addition to the emotional damage that can come from having a sexual image of you shared with your entire school or community, there is damage to your reputation.

6. There are also serious legal consequences. Sharing sexual or naked photos of minors (people below 18yrs), even minors sharing with other minors, is illegal. It can led to prosecution for child pornography.

A young man confessed of being in possession of nude pictures of over 20 women, some married. He got all through sexting.


What can you do?

1. Don’t ask people for sexual pictures, and if asked, don’t provide them.

2.Block communication with friends who send sexting messages.

3.Take care of your friends. If you know your friends are sending or receiving sexually explicit photos or messages, tell them to stop. Let them know that there are dangerous consequences and that it’s just not worth it.

with snapchat you can still take picture of the phone with another camera or phone and still save the image.

You can also disable the screenshot notification function through a
modification of the binary. Even with an emulator you can bypass all restrictions.

So my brother, to be at the safe side, don't sext.
