“…All participants were college-attending and a majority identified as heterosexual and/or Caucasian, which prevented any analysis on how the nature of consent and consequences of sexting may vary as a function of race, culture, or sexuality. Some research has determined that online and long-distance dating may be more prevalent in non-heterosexual relationships; however, the impact of sexting in these relationships has yet to be explored [ 62 , 63 ]. Additionally, this sample was recruited from a psychology course research pool that was predominately composed of female students, further limiting the generalizability of our results and our ability to detect gender differences in sexting, sexting coercion, and IPA.…”

Recent empirical data suggests that the majority of adolescents and emerging adults utilize digital technology to engage with texting and social media on a daily basis, with many using these mediums to engage in sexting (sending sexual texts, pictures, or videos via digital mediums). While research in the last decade has disproportionately focused on the potential risk factors and negative consequences associated with sexting, the data are limited by failing to differentiate consensual from non-consensual sexting and account for potential influences of intimate partner aggression (IPA) and sexting coercion in these contexts. In the current study, we assessed the positive and negative consequences associated with sexting, using behavioral theory as a framework, to determine the relationship between an individual’s personal history of IPA victimization and the perceived consequences. Undergraduate students (N = 536) who reported consensual sexting completed a series of measures examining their most recent sexting experience, including perceived sexting consequences, and their history of sexting coercion and IPA. Results suggested that those reporting a history of any type of IPA victimization endorsed more negative reinforcing consequences after sending a sext, and those with a history of physical or sexual IPA victimization endorsed more punishing consequences after sending a sext than those without such history. Additionally, experience with IPA was found to be positively correlated with perceived pressure/coercion to send a sext. The implications of these data for research, policy, prevention, and intervention are explored.

“…29 As a marginalized group, bisexual youth may find greater autonomy and affordances in their experience when they utilize the Internet to obtain health information and search for friends who accept their sexual identity. 9,11,16 At the same time, engaging in problematic cyber behaviors (e.g., misuse of social networking sites) may also expose bisexual youth to greater risks of cyberbullying victimization 17 or other risk behaviors, 21 which may contribute to worse mental and physical health outcomes.…”

“…14 Technological advances may also influence the way intimate relationships are developed and maintained. 15,16 Several studies have found that sexual minority youth are more likely to use the Internet to find a romantic partner than heterosexual youth. [17][18][19] A recent qualitative study found that Internet use could be helpful for young gay men to find and filter partners, facilitate communication, and support identity development.…”

To examine the associations of adolescent sexual orientation with cyber behaviors and health indicators 5 years later during young adulthood and test whether cyber behaviors contribute to sexual orientation health disparities. Data were drawn from Waves 2 and 7 from the NEXT Generational Health Study, a nationally representative cohort of U.S. adolescents (n = 2012). Multiple linear regressions were used to examine differences between sexual orientation subgroups (defined based on sexual attraction) in five cyber behaviors and five health indicators. Mediation analyses were conducted to examine whether cyber behaviors mediated the associations between bisexual attraction and health indicators. Relative to heterosexual peers, bisexual youth spent more time engaging in cyber behaviors and social media, and reported more psychosomatic symptoms and poorer general health. Gay and questioning males spent less time playing video games than heterosexual males. Bisexual females reported more depressive symptoms and less optimism and happiness than heterosexual females. Time spent on cyber behaviors and social media was a significant mediator of adolescent bisexual attraction and worse health outcomes in young adulthood. Frequency of cyber behaviors differed between sexual minority subgroups. Bisexual youth in particular had more psychosomatic symptoms and poorer general health. Engagement in cyber behaviors and social media use contributed to increased health disparities among bisexual youth.
