“…Estos resultados ponen de manifiesto una realidad preocupante que había sido ya mostrada en algunas investigaciones internacionales (AP-MTV, 2009;Henderson & Morgan, 2011;Englander, 2012). Así, se evidencia la relación directa del Sexting con otros fenómenos; ya que, los comportamientos de Sexting pueden derivar en situaciones de Sextorsión, de Bullying o de Ciberbullying (ver también Bailey & Hanna, 2011;Reyns, Henson, & Fisher, 2014). Además, parece que existe una bidireccionalidad entre estos fenómenos y el Sexting, ya que se ha mostrado que sufrir Bullying o el Ciberbullying incrementa las probabilidades de participar en comportamientos de Sexting (Dake et al, 2014;Woodward, Evans, & Brooks, 2016) En definitiva, es necesario seguir investigando el fenómeno del Sexting en adolescentes con el fin de tener más información sobre esta conducta emergente.…”

“…When it comes to sexting, the research literature is inconclusive regarding the effects of the gender variable. Some studies report finding no gender differences (Hudson & Fetro, 2015;Lenhart, 2009;Madigan et al, 2018), whereas others report that girls engage in sexting more than do boys (Mitchell et al, 2012;Reyns et al, 2014), and still others suggest that boys are more likely to sext than girls (Delevi & Weisskirch, 2013;Garcia et al, 2016;Klettke et al, 2018). A systematic search of databases (Klettke et al, 2014) showed that although findings relating to gender are somewhat mixed, there is some evidence that females may be more likely to send sexts than males and, accordingly, males may be more likely to receive them.…”

Dolev -Cohen, M., & Ricon, T. (2020). Demystifying sexting: Adolescent sexting and its associations with parenting styles and sense of parental social control in Israel. AbstractThe present study examined sexting habits (sending text messages, as well as nude or semi-nude photos, and/or requesting the same from others) among adolescents, as reported by 458 students (101 boys, 357 girls), with the aim of investigating whether and how sexting correlates with parenting styles and manifestations of parental social control. An online link was published on social media, asking participants who meet the research criteria to complete several questionnaires. About 30% of the participants reported sending sexual messages, and almost 32% reported that others, mainly strangers, asked them to send nude or semi-nude photos. Furthermore, sexting was more common among high-school students than among middle-school students, and asking another person to send nude or semi-nude photos was more common among boys than among girls. Lower parental social control was related to increased likelihood of sexting, and higher perception of permissive parenting style was associated with asking someone else to send nude or semi-nude photos. These findings shed light on sexting among adolescents in Israel. Moreover, the findings show that adolescents do not report sexting either to parents or to other significant adults in their lives, such as teachers or other educational staff at school. The article concludes with implications for educators and educational counselors in view of these findings.

“…While there has been some emerging qualitative research that has shed further light on the everyday experiences of sexting, there remain calls for more in-depth research that explores the varied motivations, interpersonal relational contexts, and feelings associated with sexting, and how mobile and digital technologies may be changing or shaping youth sexual cultures (e.g. Albury and Crawford 2012;Drouin et al 2013;Hasinoff 2012;Karaian 2012;Klettke et al 2014;Levine 2013;Reyns et al 2014;Weiss and Samenow 2010;Yeung et al 2014). Hasinoff (2012Hasinoff ( , 2015 and Karaian (2012) have further called for research exploring more specifically the pleasures of sexting and how young females in particular negotiate sexting as a pleasurable activity in light of the focus on various (gendered) risks and harms that have been associated with the behaviour.…”

To date, there has been much quantitative research conducted on sexting, often with a focus on investigating its prevalence among young people and which also typically presents the behaviour as deviant and risky. As a result, less is known about the everyday nature of sexting, and the various reasons and motivations regarding why individuals engage in the behaviour beyond a simplistic framing of the behaviour as risky and deviant. The present study was qualitative in nature, involving in-depth interviews with 40 young people aged 18–25 years, exploring their perceptions and experiences of sexualised culture. Sexting was a topic of discussion and it is this issue that is the focus of this paper. Interviews revealed the different encounters in which sexting occurred including within the contexts of casual sexual, dating and intimate relationships, and in a non-sexual peer context with friends, in addition to the varied motivations, reasons, and feelings associated with these experiences. Findings therefore provide further understanding and knowledge of the everyday and varied nature of sexting, contributing to the emerging research literature focusing on a qualitative approach that explores everyday negotiations and experiences of sexting and which moves discussions beyond focussing primarily on prevalence, risk and harm
