Sexting Has Become An International Problem That I Don't Understand
Here is a short PSA explaining how sexting can embarrass you in Spain.
Just to clarify, I understand how sexting can embarrass you. When you sext (I am a grown man, and I type words like "sext") a naked picture of yourself to a 14-year-old cartoon of a human being (I don't mean the animated PSA, I mean actual 14-year-olds, who I think we can all agree are cartoonish and not actual human beings) he might plug his phone into his computer and now everyone will see your picture when they log on, as they do every morning, to NiceTits.org.spain or whatever. I get that part. No one wants to have their picture on NiceTits.org.spain. But, and maybe I am old fashioned (at the very least, I am old), why are children sexting in the first place? That is the part that I don't understand. Shouldn't they be busy having actual sex? This is just like "cybersex" all over again, which I did not understand. Put down the gadgets, nerds! They're in the way!
In any case, if you can understand this:
Riesgos del sexting. Cuando una imagen tuya sale de tu teléfono, pierdes el control sobre ella para siempre. ¡Puede acabar en Internet a la vista de todos o en los teléfonos de gente que no querrías!
Either do or don't do what it says. I'm not sure. (Thanks for the tip, Matthew.)

Hey, as Miles Monroe says about performing sex in the machine in Sleeper:
"Machine? I'm not getting into that thing. I, I'm strictly a hand operator; you know, I, I... I don't like anything with moving parts that are not my own."

Here's the deal, ladies: when you text a pic of your boobies, just crop your face out of it. That way everyone wins.
And that's one to grow on.

when a guy sends a topless pic of a friend to one of his guy friends, it's just "boys will be boys", but when a girl does it, she's an evil witch. even cheap spanish cartoons get the double standard just right, thanks foreign animation.

Yea, i thought that was pretty disgusting too.

it would seem that the lack of babies is a potential upside of sexting over sex.
but i think it mostly comes down to the fact that it just feels good to send a grainy, poorly composed image of your noodle to a 14-year-old girls' Motorola SCHWZR.

But that's like playing Russian Roulette without bullets. What's the thrill in that?

I once expressed my bewilderment toward sexting in a Facebook status update. My drunken friend promptly sent me a photo of his penis to my cell phone. LESSON LEARNED.

What's interesting to me is that you actually see a flash of cartoon nipple in what is presumably a government-sponsored PSA aimed at teenagers. In the US that would never happen.

Well according to this PSA, in Spain, they also report the latest trends on NiceTits.org.spain on the evening news. I'm thinking their ideas of censorship may be just a tad too liberal...
Score = 45
no joke, you'd be surprised by the amount of boobs in tv. even newscasts seem to be just excuses to show fashion shows gone "funny" (with boobs), or art performances (with boobs), or PETA demonstrations (with boobs), or just top-less girls on the beach...
it stopped being surprising years ago and now it's just... normal
Score = 1
My phone doesn't have a camera, so when I want to sext, I just send 8===D. Boy, I hope no one passes that along!
Seriously, why is everyone getting downvoted in this thread? Are we offending the anti-sexting lobby?

Sexting, como herpes, es para siempre

I once sent a picture of a piece of my hair to a bunch of friends (long story). Then I thought, "wouldn't it be HILARIOUS if I sent a picture of my boobs, next?" Then I realized I'd just come THIS close to becoming a sexter. Wow. Time to step back from that ledge, if you know what I mean. Third Eye Blind knows. Third Eye Blind always knows.
True story.

"Risks of sexting. When an image yours leaves your telephone, you lose the control exceeds she always stops. It can finish in Internet in view of all or the telephones of people that you would not want!"
Thanks Babelfish!

I think that more or less means, "Risks of sexting: When an image leaves your cell phone, so does your control over it. It can be on sites that are visited by all or on telephones of people you don't want!!"
Score = 0
that isn't even a literal translation of that sentence! how does that happen! literal english translation (as performed by me)
Risks of sexting. When an image yours leaves from your phone, you lose the control over her forever. You can end in the internet to the sight of everyone or in your phone of people you dont want.
when the robot revolution inevitably occurs, I'm staying away from yahoo!bots

Why don't they feature the latest image from the homepage of toptitties.com on the evening news in my hometown? I'd watch every night fo' sho'.
