I don't really care at all, if you're brave enough to do it, just be mature enough to accept the consequences.
If you're going to go throwing personally shameful info through the internet...
sexuality is far from a shameful thing
Sounds creepy as hell.There have been a lot of stories lately on the current affairs shows in my local area warning of the dangers of 'sexting'.
I'm sure we all know what sexting is, but just to be completely patronising in case anyone doesn't - it is essentially provocative messaging via cell phone, which can range anywhere from text intended to arouse the recipient to sending nude or semi-nude pictures of oneself.
And teen sexual activity is bad because...?According to these TV reports, parents are growing increasingly concerned with this phenomenon because they believe that it will fuel teen sexual activity.
Well, it's either condoms and pills or the phone bill. It's their choice.To my mind, if teenagers wish to be sexually active, there isn't anything or anyone that's going to stop them - and this was going on long before the advent of cellular technology. I think common sense would dictate that sexting, despite weighing down the phone bill, is actually safer for teens than participating in actual sex.
Umm no. There isn't any danger. It's just stupid people who don't know how to conceal it well.Now these news stories are skewed toward parents, but most of the people here are in their teens and early twenties, so what are your views? Do you think there is really danger in sexting? Discuss.
Your opinion doesn't really reflect how most people feel about sexuality...
I would think that whether something is shameful is entirely based on whether people feel shame over it. Not on whether one thinks it /should/ be.
And quite frankly, I'm in favor of it remaining somewhat shameful. Would seem to be the only thing making people keep their sex lives "private".
Given. I have a bias. I'm genophobic. c:
lol if people found sex or sexuality shameful, they wouldn't partake.
Sex is kept private because it's a private thing; it's understood that it's something that's meant to be private
Definitions of Shame said:A painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior
- she was hot with shame
- he felt a pang of shame at telling Alice a lie
A loss of respect or esteem; dishonor
- the incident had brought shame on his family
Used to reprove someone for something of which they should be ashamed
- shame on you for hitting a woman
- for shame, brother!
A regrettable or unfortunate situation or action
- it is a shame that they are not better known
A person, action, or situation that brings a loss of respect or honor
- ignorance of Latin would be a disgrace and a shame to any public man
It's internet porn, except it's with people you know!
Joking aside, I think there's a big risk. Let's say you take a picture of your private area, and your receiver decides to be a dick and show it to his/her's friends. Or spread it on the internet, which can potentially ruin your social life.
So, sexting is bad. I'd like to see a reason for why it's good, or acceptable in anyway.
I don't know where you live, but it's certainly not very similar to anywhere I've lived. Embarassing? Maybe for some. Shameful, no. I've never heard of or seen anyone suggest that sex is shameful in any way. Maybe some prudes think so, but it's not "widely thought".And why is it understood that it's a private thing? Because it's widely thought to be shameful to have others find out.
