目的 研究“性短信”（通过短信和面对面在线发送和分享性照片）与青春期性风险行为和社会心理挑战之间的关系。方法数据是在 2010 年至 2011 年期间在线收集的，随机抽取了 3,715 名美国各地的 13 至 18 岁青少年。结果 7% 的青少年报告称，通过短信在网上发送或向他人展示自己裸体或近乎裸体的性照片在过去的一年里，通过消息或面对面的方式。尽管女性和年长的青少年比男性和年轻的青少年更有可能分享性照片，但所有青少年的心理社会挑战和性行为的情况都是相似的。根据人口特征进行调整后，分享性照片与所评估的所有类型的性行为（例如口交、阴道性交）以及所检查的一些危险性行为相关，特别是拥有同时的性伴侣和过去一年有更多的性伴侣。与人口统计相似的同龄人相比，分享性照片的青少年也更有可能使用药物，并且不太可能拥有高自尊。结论尽管媒体将色情短信描述为新技术引起的问题，但卫生专业人员将其视为青少年性发展和探索的一个方面，在某些情况下，将其视为冒险和心理社会挑战的一个方面，可能会更有效。
PurposeTo examine the relation between “sexting” (sending and sharing sexual photos online, via text messaging, and in person) with sexual risk behaviors and psychosocial challenge in adolescence.MethodsData were collected online between 2010 and 2011 with 3,715 randomly selected 13- to 18-year-old youth across the United States.ResultsSeven percent of youth reported sending or showing someone sexual pictures of themselves, in which they were nude or nearly nude, online, via text messaging, or in person, during the past year. Although females and older youth were more likely to share sexual photos than males and younger youth, the profile of psychosocial challenge and sexual behavior was similar for all youth. After adjusting for demographic characteristics, sharing sexual photos was associated with all types of sexual behaviors assessed (e.g., oral sex, vaginal sex) as well as some of the risky sexual behaviors examined—particularly having concurrent sexual partners and having more past-year sexual partners. Adolescents who shared sexual photos also were more likely to use substances and less likely to have high self-esteem than their demographically similar peers.ConclusionsAlthough the media has portrayed sexting as a problem caused by new technology, health professionals may be more effective by approaching it as an aspect of adolescent sexual development and exploration and, in some cases, risk-taking and psychosocial challenge.
