ResultsThe meta-synthesis of the papers resulted in the development of four central themes:Gender Inequity, Popularity with peers, Relationship Context and Costs and Benefits. ConclusionDrawing the qualitative work together highlights the manner in which 'sexting' is more nuanced than traditional 'cyber-bullying'. The consensual sending of intimate images is a highly gendered activity. The gender issues require work with female students to explore the issue of 'sexting' and how it can be harmful. Work with male students around the issues of respect and gender harassment in relation to 'sexting' is also required and should contribute to sex and relationships education. The results indicate that school nurses working 3 with young people need to build discussions about the use of technology within relationships into their work with young people.

El Sexting a través del discurso de adolescentes españoles

“…Por lo expuesto, podríamos decir que las chicas desempeñan el rol pasivo, produciendo los contenidos de sexting para el consumo masculino.

Estas situaciones pueden suponer las nuevas formas de expresión de la violencia de género (Ringrose et al, 2012) a través de la presión o de la coacción para enviar fotos, mensajes de texto o vídeos sexuales en la esfera virtual.…”

A Rights-Based Approach to Youth Sexting: Challenging Risk, Shame, and the Denial of Rights to Bodily and Sexual Expression Within Youth Digital Sexual Culture

“…It is argued that sexting is distinct from bullying because it can be voluntarily chosen, and far from all young people who sext say they experience bullying (Dake et al 2012;Wilkingson et al 2016). Sexting can, however, involve or lead to bullying.…”
