The class that made this blog a requirement, is the same class I have a research paper due in (Hey Prof.Maurer). Guess what my topic is. SEXTING! O yes. I am doing a paper on sexting and having a blast doing so but it's not because of participation so don't jump to conclusions. For those who are ignorant on the subject (which I highly doubt), sexting is the combination of the words "text" and "sex". It is when you send sexually suggested or explicit videos or images via electronic devices.
Ever had someone send you a pick of their body parts or a message of what they want you to do to them? Stop blushing this is a serious matter lol. Well, this is a form of sexting. During my research, I've found sexting is highly popular in the adolescent world. Teenagers are using sexting to fulfill their sexual fantasies or to get revenge. It's a controversial topic that "adults" seem to be all confused and mad about ,but to others, "What I do with my phone is my business" is the response I tend to get.
Well, sexting is illegal. Wait! Wait! RELAX! Allow me to explain. Sexting is considered illegal if the video or photo contains a minor. It is then considered the distribution or possession of child pornography. Therefore, if your seven-teen year old girl friend sends your eight-teen year old self a picture of her bare chest, you are now the holder of child pornography and she is the distributor. You can now face felony charges, fines, and be registered as a sex offender.
This is outrageous. I understand if the sext messages are being used against you but then again who told you to send those messages. People tend to put themselves in predicaments where they are harmed but never take responcibility for their actions. Sexting can aid in the spice of a relationship or the demise of a career. It goes hand in hand but to punish minors (most don't even know its illegal) for sending voluntary pictures is horrible.
This scared the crap out of me. You know why? Cause I've been sexted (lmbo hahahahaha). So now if I’m being sexted (I'm really dying laughing right now. This is hilarious), which by the way I don't enjoy -_-, I have to make sure I delete it, especially if the person is not eight-teen or older. Now my best friend Jennifer and Cassandra can't see the fool that showed me his dingdong with his dirty draws in the background. How are we supposed to laugh as best friends and share those moments, with all this anti-sexting people walking around? Huh? (By the way, I'm joking. It makes the blog more interesting if I throw a little humor in it. Agree?)
So Venus, or Mars, what is your take on sexting and the laws that follow it? Do you feel it's too drastic? Who should be blamed, if any blame should be placed?
sexting is not that serious to me. Although having unprotected sext (lol thats funny) with a female may end up bad, i think it helps build healthy drive tension between partners. As far as minors go, if they are the same age, i say go for it!!
ReplyDeleteI am also doing my research paper on sexting. I'd have to say it's a personal choice. I personally wouldn't participate in it but some ADULT couples say that it spices up their love lives. If you're a minor, on the other hand, then it should be illegal. When you are 13 or 14 you aren't as mature as when you are 18+ and one little mistake could ruin someone's life.
