Information Sheet
Sexting, or sending messages (i.e., text, photo, voice, video) of a sexual nature, is a normal and widespread practice. It is completely valid and acceptable to want to share or receive nudes. The important thing is to validate everyone’s consent.
Respect, benevolence, and consent contribute to the basis of online sexual practices.
Sending unsolicited sexual content is a form of sexual violence. It’s basically digital exhibitionism. Before you send someone sexual content, make sure they really want it and are willing to receive it.
It is also necessary to report instances of victim blaming and to stop promoting an ideal of abstinence when it comes to sharing intimate pictures.
Slut shaming and victim blaming bring together a set of individual and collective attitudes and behaviours.
- Slut shaming means judging, humiliating, stigmatizing someone or making them feel guilty about behaviours, attitudes or sexual expressions deemed “out of the ordinary”.
- Victim blaming is the act of making a victim responsible for an act they have suffered.
Your friend comes back and asks why you’re smirking. You tell them that it’s because you just sent a raunchy text to your partner. You pay your bill, and you leave.
When you arrive home, you get excited as you remember the conversation with your partner… You pick up the conversation where you left off:
