The Receiver Of Your Sexts May Be Sharing Them With Friends, Study Finds 

10817159986_3b12084857_zIf you think that nude pic you sent is for the receiver’s eyes only, guess again. A new study out of Indiana University finds that a shocking number of people share your supposed “private” sexts with their friends. According to the study, 23 percent, or 1 in 4, of those who received naked pictures shared them with more than three friends.

Sexting, which happens mostly between couples in relationships as a way to flirt, thankfully often leads to positive outcomes (i.e., getting laid). But for others, as the study points out, “it may lead to negative outcomes such as lowered self-esteem or damage to reputation.” The study hopes to get more people to consider what happens when our privacy is violated because of sexting. Like the study’s author says, “As sexting becomes more common and normative, we’re seeing a contemporary struggle as men and women attempt to reconcile digital eroticism with real-world consequences.”
