Snapchat is often used for sexting, but certainly not mainly. Think Twitter for pictures, as a vague comparison. Quickly consumable and disposable updates in picture form. Compare to Instagram, which has a somewhat higher quality expectation because the posts are permanent. There's also an expectation that people will post less frequently, while with Snapchat, it's not unheard of to post a dozen updates in a stretch.
