Abstract:
The rise of social media has profoundly transformed the way teenagers interact, bringing emotional and intimate relationships into the digital sphere. At this pivotal stage in identity development, these environments can become places for experimentation and exploration of oneself and one's sexuality. Among these activities is sexting. It can be part of normal emotional and sexual development when exchanges are consensual and appropriate for the individual's maturity, but it exposes them to psychological, social, and legal risks in cases of pressure or non-consensual distribution of images, or when legal requirements are not met. Addressing sexting in consultation involves prevention, identifying risky situations, and knowledge of the Swiss legal framework.
