Your mother probably warned you never to say anything you don't want repeated. The same mentality holds true for sexting. In the age of technology, things you want to keep private quickly can become available for public consumption. From text messages to photos to videos, nothing is safe. And once you put something out there, don't even think about going back. We have no problem warning our teens and children about the dangers of sexting, but do you practice what you preach? If you think sexting is childish behavior, think again. A survey conducted by Pew Research Center found that 17 percent of adults from ages 30 to 49 have received sexts, while 5 percent admit to having sent them. Sexting seems like all fun and games until someone gets hurt... and that someone easily can be you, your partner or your family. It's all too tempting to engage in sexual banter via text, instant message, email and other electronic communications. Maybe it's with your partner, maybe it's with someone else.
