As texting from mobile phones has become a focus in teen social life, parents, educators and advocates have grown increasingly worried about the role of cellular phones in the sexual lives of teens. A fresh research study from the Pew Research Center?s Internet & American Life Project (pewinternet.org/topics/Teens.aspx) found that 4% of cell-owning youths between the ages of 12-17 say they have transmitted zexually suggestive nude or nearly nude images or videos of themselves to other people using text messaging. This practice is commonly referred to ?zexting? in today?s slang. Additionally, fifteen percent say they have received these kinds of images images of someone they already know by way of SMS.
By studying more than forty thousand monthly US mobile telecom bills, Nielsen determined that American teens sent an average of an astounding 3,100 text messages each month during Q3 last year. Pew Research points out that zexting occurs usually during one of three different scenarios: The first, involves exchanges of images just between two romantic partners; the next, lists exchanges between partners that are then shared with other people; followed by, exchanges between people who are not yet in a relationship, but where often one party hopes to be.
