What is so bad about sexting? As long as you don´t do it with minors there is nothing bad about it, ain´t it?

The OP is asking for information on sexting outside of the US and if it exists. This thread will not become a debate on the merits of sexting or anything else outside the OPs request, or else it will be closed.

I was trying to look up information for you, but I'm not finding much specifically for Japan on the whole sexting business. I keep coming across US cases. Maybe there's a certain aspect to it you can include so that it can be narrowed down some more. I'm a bit curious of this myself.

Please tell me you're joking. What about those situations where boys send out a nude pic of a girl that sent it to him in confidence? Personally, the whole thing is just downright stupid.

i'm starting to think this issue is mostly unique to the USA. they make such a big deal about it here. just wondering, what do you guys think about kids going to prison for this? do you think that's extreme?

In this regard, I do feel it's extreme. Yes, the people involved should be punished, but not to that level.
