Summary | Shane Connolly, an assistant commissioner for the Australian police, said that in order to avoid becoming victims of revenge porn, people should just stop taking selfies. The author of the article does not agree and is tired of men who think that women are responsible of their own downfall. According to a research, 83% of us have already taken naked selfies. The problem is that we need a law that protects us when we're being abused.

Summary | The author says that she teaches her daughter that the internet does not forget and that female nudity rarely benefits the nude woman in the long run. However, there seem to be contradicting cases. Women's and men's careers have been both destroyed and boosted by the leaking of nude images, sexting selfies, or revenge porn. Most recently, Donald Trump has been caught first defending his wife's honor and accusing Ted Cruz of posting nude footage of her modeling days to then later post images of his wife and Cruz's wife to make the point that his wife is hotter.

¿Le mandarías una foto desnudo a tu mejor amigo?

Summary | Human beings have three vital functions: communication, reproduction, and drinking/eating. Nowadays, people can satisfy these three functions online. Some might say that sharing naked pictures online is egocentric, but others try to normalize online nudity (e.g. with #FreeTheNipple and #Nutscapes). Another example is frexting (friends + texting); people send (half) naked pictures of themselves to friends instead of sending them to everyone on social media. Unlike popular beliefs, the author of the article found out that users who practice frexting can be males, females, and from different sexual orientations. Unlike sexting and the idealization of bodies, frexting is a way to go beyond the pressure of body representation. Frexting equals normalization and ridicule.

Summary | Sexting can be dangerous for teenagers; it can lead to mental disorders. When teenagers find out their picture is circulating everywhere, they may feel embarrased, anxious, and depressed. Those kids should seek psychological help. Moreover, parents should talk to their children, teach them, and warn them of the risks related to sexting. Parents should also look for any sexting problem signs.
