From the Ted Talk by Amy Adele Hasinoff: How to practice safe sexting
Unscramble the Blue Letters
You're probably thinking, my kid would never sext. And that's true, your little angel may not be sexting because only 33 percent of 16- and 17-year-olds are seixtng. But, sorry, by the time they're older, odds are they will be sexting. Every study I've seen puts the rate above 50 percent for 18- to 24-year-olds. And most of the time, nothing goes wnrog. People ask me all the time things like, isn't sexting just so dangerous, though? It's like you wouldn't lavee your wallet on a park bcenh and you expect it's going to get stolen if you do that, right? Here's how I think about it: sexting is like liaveng your wallet at your boyfriend's house. If you come back the next day and all the money is just gone, you really need to dump that guy. (Laughter) So instead of criminalizing sexting to try to prevent these privacy violations, instead we need to make consent central to how we think about the circulation of our pivtare information.

Here's how I think about it: sexting is like leaving your wallet at your boyfriend's house. If you come back the next day and all the money is just gone, you really need to dump that guy.
