- Why do you want to sext your boyfriend? Is it because you actually want to, or because he pressured you into it? Sixty percent of people who sexted their boyfriends say they were pressured to do so. If this is true for you, then don't do it. Dating is about having fun, not doing something you don't really want to do to please the other person.
- Are you sure that your boyfriend would be the only one who saw the images? A study showed that about one in five sext recipients forwarded the picture to someone else, and 55 percent of them forwarded it to multiple people. Who knows where it would end up? Do you want people other than your boyfriend to see that personal photo? A girl once sexted at my friend's school, and it wasn't long before almost every kid at her school knew what she looked like without her shirt. Oh, and she got suspended because a teacher ended up seeing it, too.
- Another study showed that teens who sexted are four times more likely than other kids to consider suicide. I'm sure you can figure out why that happens.
I hope you will not sext your boyfriend. It's degrading behavior, and you never know who will see it. Just think about the consequences and don't do it. [ Athena4896's advice column | Ask Athena4896 A Question ]

Some day in the future you are going to apply for a job. Future employers are going to search the web looking for information on you. Whatever you have written or texted can pop up including photos of yourself.
When it comes to photos a good rule of thumb to follow is; never send anyone a photo of yourself that you would not want your dad to see. Then there is also the legal side of sending nude or partially nude photos. Its called child pornography and even though they are your photo's you can be charged with making and distributing child pornography. The person receiving the photo's can be charged with possession and receiving and distribution if he share the photo(s) with anyone.
The FBI, State and local police departments are working diligently with internet providers to crack down on the use of the web in the distribution of child pornography. While your photo's may have a much different meaning to you and your boyfriend. IF you are underage they fit the definition and you both can get caught up in any sweep of your internet provider for these images and have charges filed against you.
I know what you're thinking, it won't happen to you it will happen to someone else. To that someone else who is thinking the same thing you are that someone else and these charges have been brought against other teenagers just like you and your boyfriend.
While I understand why you want to do what you want to do. I feel it is important to warn you of the dangers. Yes I know others are doing it. If you are the unlucky one to get caught I can tell you this; While people can understand the courts, and the law cannot.
