PURPOSE: To examine the relation between "sexting" (sending and sharing sexual
photos online, via text messaging, and in person) with sexual risk behaviors and
psychosocial challenge in adolescence. METHODS: Data were collected online
between 2010 and 2011 with 3,715 randomly selected 13- to 18-year-old youth
across the United States. RESULTS: Seven percent of youth reported sending or
showing someone sexual pictures of themselves, in which they were nude or nearly
nude, online, via text messaging, or in person, during the past year. Although
females and older youth were more likely to share sexual photos than males and
younger youth, the profile of psychosocial challenge and sexual behavior was
similar for all youth. After adjusting for demographic characteristics, sharing
sexual photos was associated with all types of sexual behaviors assessed (e.g.,
oral sex, vaginal sex) as well as some of the risky sexual behaviors
examined-particularly having concurrent sexual partners and having more past-year
sexual partners. Adolescents who shared sexual photos also were more likely to
use substances and less likely to have high self-esteem than their
demographically similar peers. CONCLUSIONS: Although the media has portrayed
sexting as a problem caused by new technology, health professionals may be more
effective by approaching it as an aspect of adolescent sexual development and
exploration and, in some cases, risk-taking and psychosocial challenge.
