Nearly four out of every five college students has participated in some form of sexting, according to a new survey from the University of Rhode Island. According to the survey, 78 percent of students say they’ve received sexually explicit text messages from someone, and more than half—56 percent—have been recipients of explicit images of someone. If you think that’s alarming, one out of every five of those sexually explicit notes or images are then forwarded to someone else—without permission of the original sender about 10 percent of the time. “At the age of most college students, people are filtering through relationships at a faster rate,” said Tiffani Kisler, one of the study’s authors. “People want to feel a sense of belonging so they are sharing more of themselves with people they are still getting to know. Once they click the send button, they don’t know where else a message will end up.” (Healthland.Time)
