“…These findings partially confirmed results on sex differences in sexting underlined by a recent meta-analyses that found males more involved in non-consensual sexting than females [ 2 ]. Conversely with respect to a recent study [ 16 ], our results found that males seem to be involved also in more sexting under pressure. Moreover, previous literature suggested that males are more likely to be involved, in general, in risky behaviors than females probably due to high levels of sensation seeking and impulsivity [ 101 ], explaining why boys could report also more risky sexting.…”

“…Some studies have found that sexting behaviors tend to grow with increasing age, specifically from adolescence to young adulthood [ 1 , 8 ]. In other cases, studies have not yet established a conclusive link between some socio-demographic variables and sexting behaviors, such as age [ 10 ], gender [ 1 ], and sexual orientation (e.g., [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]). Other findings suggest that young adults had more positive expectations and attitudes toward sexting with a committed partner, rather than with a casual dating partner [ 17 , 18 ].…”

Background: Sexting is an increasingly common phenomenon among adolescents and young adults. Some studies have investigated the role of personality traits in different sexting behaviors within mainstream personality taxonomies like Big Five and HEXACO. However, very few studies have investigated the role of maladaptive personality factors in sexting. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between Dark Triad Personality Traits and experimental (i.e., sharing own sexts), risky (i.e., sexting under substance use and with strangers), and aggravated sexting (i.e., non-consensual sexting and sexting under pressure) across 11 countries. Methods: An online survey was completed by 6093 participants (Mage = 20.35; SDage = 3.63) from 11 different countries which covered four continents (Europe, Asia, Africa, and America). Participants completed the Sexting Behaviors Questionnaire and the 12-item Dark Triad Dirty Dozen scale. Results: Hierarchical regression analyses showed that sharing own sexts was positively predicted by Machiavellianism and Narcissism. Both risky and aggravated sexting were positively predicted by Machiavellianism and Psychopathy. Conclusions: The present study provided empirical evidence that different sexting behaviors were predicted by Dark Triad Personality Traits, showing a relevant role of Machiavellianism in all kinds of investigated sexting behaviors. Research, clinical, and education implications for prevention programs are discussed.

“…The digital media user can be in the role of both the victim of non-consensual activities of others (e.g., being urged to participate in unwanted sexing) or the perpetrator (e.g., urging somebody else to participate in unwanted sexting; van Ouytsel et al, 2021 ). The literature describes consensual as well as non-consensual sexual interactions through, via, and with technology (e.g., Zytko et al, 2021 ).…”

Sexual Interaction in Digital Contexts and Its Implications for Sexual Health: A Conceptual Analysis

Based on its prevalence, there is an urgent need to better understand the mechanisms, opportunities and risks of sexual interaction in digital contexts (SIDC) that are related with sexual arousal. While there is a growing body of literature on SIDC, there is also a lack of conceptual clarity and classification. Therefore, based on a conceptual analysis, we propose to distinguish between sexual interaction (1) through, (2) via, and (3) with digital technologies. (1) Sexual interactions through digital technologies are face-to-face sexual interactions that (a) have been started digitally (e.g., people initiating face-to-face sexual encounters through adult dating apps) or (b) are accompanied by digital technology (e.g., couples augmenting their face-to-face sexual encounters through filming themselves during the act and publishing the amateur pornography online). (2) Sexual interactions via digital technology are technology-mediated interpersonal sexual interactions (e.g., via text chat: cybersex; via smartphone: sexting; via webcam: webcam sex/camming). (3) Sexual interactions with digital technology occur when the technology itself has the role of an interaction partner (e.g., sexual interaction with a sex robot or with a media persona in pornography). The three types of SIDC and their respective subtypes are explained and backed up with empirical studies that are grouped according to two major mediators: consent and commerce. Regarding the causes and consequences of the three types of SIDC we suggest a classification that entails biological, psychological, social, economic, and technological factors. Regarding implications of SIDC we suggest to focus on both opportunities and risks for sexual health. The proposed conceptual framework of SIDC is meant to inform future research.

“…Les résultats ont révélé que les adolescents vivant avec leurs deux parents pratiquaient significativement moins le sextage (14 %) que ceux provenant de familles monoparentales (24 %). En Belgique, Van Ouytsel et al (2021) ont eux aussi observé des associations significatives entre le fait de ne pas vivre avec ses deux parents et la production, l’envoi et la retransmission de photos et vidéos à caractère sexuel.…”

“…Il s’avère ainsi important que d’autres études documentent la prévalence des comportements de sextage en distinguant ces deux comportements. Dans leur étude, Van Ouytsel et al (2021) ont par ailleurs utilisé une période de référence différente pour documenter les différents comportements de sextage. Pour la production et l’envoi de sextos, les adolescents devaient mentionner s’ils avaient effectué chacun de ces deux comportements lors des deux derniers mois.…”
