Showing someone your dick is rape culture

107. No problem. Sending unsolicited images like that should be illegal.

A misdemeanor if an adult sends it to another adult. A felony if an adult sends it to a minor. If two minors are involved in the exchange, it is something else, in my opinion. I'm not sure how such situations should be handled, but probably they should be handled by parents of the two minors.

I'm old. My high school days were in the early 1960s. One time, my girlfriend of two years handed me a Polaroid image of her unclothed upper torso. That was the sexting of those days. The photo was not of something that was not already familiar to me, and I took no offense from it. I did not reciprocate with my own photo, however. When we broke up, I destroyed the photo and told her I did so. And that was that. Kids today apparently send similar selfies of each other. Kids. Sadly, those often get disseminated and end up on the Internet. That's unfortunate, but hardly criminal on the kids' parts. Unsolicited images like that should never be sent, and some punishment for doing that is warranted. Criminal prosecution, however, is probably not warranted in most cases.
