Federally, it is "illegal to produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to distribute any obscene visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct." That means, if you are under 18 and you are sending or receiving a sexual picture, you are violating the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today (PROTECT) Act of 2003.Īlternatively, if you are a minor and you send a nude to someone who is not a minor, that person could also be charged with child pornography, and therefore be marked as a sex offender. The laws are created to protect minors from sexual predators, but sometimes, they can affect two people sexting consensually. Yes, depending on the state you're in and your age, you could be breaking a law when you send or receive a nude, so make sure you're well-versed if your state's laws before you go snapping and sending. But if there's any question about the nature of the recipient, maybe just hold off.
If you trust your significant other wholeheartedly and you want to share your beautiful body with them, fine. The act of someone posting nude pictures they have of you without your consent is known as "revenge porn" and it's a form of digital abuse. Don't send your photo to someone who may be vindictive or may want to seek revenge on you in the future. This is someone you know, someone who will not show the picture to other people, won't post it online, won't pass it around school. Number one, that means that you trust the person you're sending the nudes to. So, instead, I'm here to make sure that if you do have your mind made up about sending a nude, you're doing it as safely as possible. I could easily say, "don't send nudes," but abstinence-only education has never been effective. Make sure you trust the person you're sending them to. Just like sex, you should never ever send a nude if you don't feel comfortable doing it, no matter what the person on the receiving end says. If your crush is telling you it will make them like you more, ditch them, and find someone who will like you for you, not your nude pics (trust me, someone like that is out there). There shouldn't be any pressure involved when you're sending a nude. First off, if you don't want to send a nude, don't.
