As texting from mobile phones has become a focus in youth social life, parents, educators and advocates have grown increasingly troubled about the role of cellular phones in the sexual lives of young adults. A new research study from the Pew Research Center?s Internet & American Life Project (pewinternet.org/topics/Teens.aspx) found that four percent of cell-owning youths between age 12 and 17 say they have transmitted zexually suggestive nude or nearly nude images or videos of themselves to other people using text messaging. This activity is commonly known as ?zexting? in today?s slang. Additionally, fifteen percent say they have received such images of someone they already know via SMS.
By researching more than forty thousand monthly US mobile phone bills, Nielsen determined that American teenagers sent an average of an astounding 3,100 text messages every month during Q3 last year. Pew Research points out that sending provocative images happens usually during one of three typical scenarios: The first, involves exchanges of images only 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 with one person hoping there will be one.
