Sharing of nude images and videos

What is Sharing of nude images and videos?

Sharing of nude images and videos is sending and receiving sexual messages through technology such as a phone, app, email or webcam. For some people, sexting is a way to explore sexuality, trust, boundaries and intimacy. However, in some cases, sexting is used to bully, blackmail and exploit.

Sharing of nude images and videos can involve photos or videos such as:

• a message or post written with sexual language

• nude or semi-nude photos/videos

• photos/videos of sexual acts

• live chats with someone on webcam involving sexual acts

• screen-captured photos/videos recorded from webcam
