The term “sexting” is a play on words between sex and texting. This involves sending digital images, videos, text messages, or emails, and it usually involves cellphones or some other internet-capable device.
Between two consenting adults, sexting is legal. However, it should be noted that these images, videos, and messages do not disappear. While two people may be in a relationship when they send these explicit messages, those same messages could also be used against them in the future. In general, it is not recommended to send any kind of sexually explicit materials over electronic messages, no matter how close you are to the other person.
