Over half of Italian teenagers engage
in 'sexting', the sending, receiving, or forwarding of sexually
explicit messages, photographs, or videos, according to a
nationwide study by the Iard research institute released on
Tuesday.
It said 55% of teenage girls and 52% of boys have sent sexually
explicit images to their partners.
It added that 15% of girls and 10% of boys admitted to having
posted sexual content on their social media accounts at least
once.
It said boys tended to be 'voyeurs' of the content while girls
are often present in it.
The survey said Instagram and Tik Tok were the top social media
platforms for young people while Facebook is pretty much off the
radar for them.
It also said that 10% of girls and 20% of boys use OnlyFans.
The report said 78,4% of the teenagers want more sex education
at school.
