> The article doesn't even talk about the real lesson here: be careful who you trust. If you can't trust someone not to secretly record you having sex and then posting the video on Facebook, then you shouldn't be having sex with them. The lesson has always been the same, and there have always been people who don't learn it until it's too late.
This is nice in theory, but no one really knows who to trust - adults and teenagers alike. Additionally, girls are often guilt-tripped into sending these types of photos lest they want to be told they don't really "care" about the person. I've been hit with that one a few times, even by guys that were otherwise very respectful. There's also the "come on, everyone does it" pitch, which is true, but doesn't mean anything when push comes to shove.
- lotharbot 14y agoGirls (and boys) are often manipulated into acting foolishly. To generalize the above lesson, be careful how you allow your behavior to be influenced. Be careful how much power you give others over you. (Note that this doesn't absolve others of wrongdoing -- it's just an observation of a way people can protect themselves from victimization.)
