Wait, sexting isn't considered a positive relationship behaviour? (Edit: Assuming all parties involved are consenting adults.)

I assume they mean to people other than your significant other?

I know a number of folks who think sexting is: A) Weird B) Perverted C) A good way to have your sex life plastered over the internet. D) A good way for the NSA and cell phone provider to know all about your sex life.

  E) the risk of ending up on a sex offender registry for child pornography (if any of the parties are under age).

    Well, I'm assuming anyone who is doing that is an established relationship that has lasted months/years and is 100% certain of the other party's age. I suspect the people I talk to make the same assumptions.

  C and D are unarguably true, though.

  A) Purely subjective opinion. Actually a study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine in Sept 2014 (IIRC), sought to define what true sexual deviation was. The results found that many things considered sexual deviations in popular culture are actually not that un-common in reality. B) See A. You say this like it's a bad thing. C) The fact that this is true doesn't make it good or bad. One person's nightmare, is another's acceptable risk, is another's pleasure. D) See C. As a side note: If the NSA spends countless dollars cataloging private citizens sexual interests rather than protecting United States security, then there are much much larger issues to worry about. (And frankly, there probably are) Edited to fix typos and spelling issues.

    I didn't say it was my opinion, so not sure why you are trying for a rebuttal. But as long as a significant number of people feel that way, it has a social impact.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or truly curious, but speaking as an old-but-not-that-old person who spends lots of time with older family members: yep! It's very much the on-trend "what's the matter with kids these days" issue, carrying on the age-old tradition of condemning bare ankles, short skirts, dirty dancing, pre-marital cohabitation, etc.

Agreed.
