Overall, the number of adults who engage in this behavior is identical to what we found the first time we asked these questions of adults in May In terms of demographic differences, age is by far the strongest predictor of sexting behavior. Younger adults in general are much more likely than their elders to engage in sexting, although the youngest cell owners do not lead the way—the peak in this activity actually occurs among those in their mids to mids. Although a small number of older cell owners have received these types of images, sending or forwarding is nearly non-existent for cell owners ages 45 and older. Outside of age, most sexting-related differences between demographic groups are relatively modest—although gender does play a small role. Beyond these demographic differences, the type of phone people have — and the role that mobile device plays in their online life — is also associated with whether or not they engage in sexting behavior. Specifically, smartphone owners are significantly more likely than non-smartphone owners to engage in each of these behaviors. Cell owners use their phones for a wide array of specific purposes — from accessing social networking sites to consuming paid video content. The following table shows how many cell owners ever do these activities, as well as how many do them on a typical day.

Just a few months ago, a teen girl was arraigned on felony child pornography charges for sending nude pictures of herself to her classmates. In addition to whatever sentence she receives, she may have to spend the next 20 years of her life registering as a sex offender wherever she goes. A case in point is the very sad case of Jesse Logan. After they broke up, her ex-boyfriend shared that picture with others — meaning that they carried that same picture of a naked Jesse on their own cell phones.
