oh i get it... :oops:Sexting is the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photographs, primarily between mobile phones. The term was first popularized in early 21st century, and is a portmanteau of sex and texting, where the latter is meant in the wide sense of sending a text possibly with images.

SYDNEY: Teenagers are under pressure to send nude photos of themselves and other sexual images from their mobile phones as \"sexting\" becomes more widespread, new Australian research shows.
Melbourne University researcher Shelley Walker said her study showed that young people felt they needed to \"sext\" to fit in because it had become a \"behaviour that has become more normalised in their world\".
\"It's not a surprise that young women talk about and experience pressure from boys. There's a pressure that girls experience from boyfriends mainly but also from boys they don't necessarily know,\" Walker told AFP on Friday.
\"Then there's the pressure that young men talked about -- the pressure to be sending images out, to have the images on their phone.
\"A couple of guys talked about being called 'gay' (for not having images on their phones).\"
Walker, who discussed her preliminary findings at the Australasian Sexual Health Conference in Canberra, said \"sexting\" typically occurred when a boy asked his girlfriend for a nude photo of herself.
But it included a range of behaviour including a boy sending a girlfriend an image of his penis and videos of sexual acts.
Walker said young people discussed their friends holding onto these images for blackmail or posting them on social networking site Facebook or publishing them on publicly viewed websites.
Walker interviewed 15 males and 18 females aged 15 to 20 for her research and found they all felt a highly sexualised media culture was bombarding them with sexual images, creating a pressure to engage in \"sexting\".
She said the phenomenon had become a focus of much media reporting, but there was little research engaging the views of teenagers on the issue, in a country in which 90 per cent of Australians aged 15 to 17 own a mobile phone.
\"Our study reveals how complex and ever-changing the phenomenon of \"sexting\" is and that continued meaningful dialogue is needed to address and prevent the negative consequences of \"sexting\" for young people,\" she said.

I am not trying to be a prude here but I believe this is necessary for parents to know and advise their kids:
LEGAL CONSEQUENCES
Sexting may seem like harmless fun between consenting people.
But lawyers whom The Sunday Times consulted said that there could be legal consequences.
'Even between two people who have agreed to do this, it could be considered as the transmitting of offensive material, especially when there are private parts involved,' said lawyer Sim Yong Chan.
Criminal lawyer Amolat Singh pointed to Section 292 of the Penal Code.
This section says that anyone who sells, exhibits, produces, possesses or circulates obscene material, which includes transmitting it by electronic means, can be jailed for up to three months and fined.
Many do not realise this applies even if the sexting is for personal use, Mr Singh noted.
'The fact that you sent the picture is already considered distribution,' he said. 'People often make the mistake of thinking that it is just the person who circulates the picture who will get into trouble for distributing it.'
To avoid getting in trouble with the law, people should ensure that their sext messages are not circulated or posted in a public domain, said criminal lawyer Anthony Lim.
'Passing such pictures to an intended recipient, if it's a stranger, could be considered offensive and an outrage of modesty,' he said.
'Anybody who receives such photos shouldn't even think of distributing and circulating it unless it's to the police for legal action.' -
and not forgetting the hot topic in the internet some years back involving a local poly student (then) and the videos of her & her boyfriend in the act that got circulated.
