New York CIty is now working on criminalizing the distribution of revenge porn - something that should already have happened long ago.

Topic Tags | sexting
Summary | A 40+ year old father writes about being back in the dating world in the 21st century. Sexting seems to be an integral part of it, which he argues might just be humans' natural reaction to this new medium and that Shakespeare, had he been given a smartphone, may have used it quite similarly. It is surprising how quickly and how effectively one can bond with another person via messaging, both emotionally and intimately. This does however not mean that the same emotional or intimate momentum can be translated into face-to-face encounters.
