What is Considered Sexually Explicit?
Determining when an image is classified as sexually explicit is not always straightforward. Some depictions, such as images of sexual activity or naked individuals showing their private parts, are sexually explicit. An image that leaves little to the imagination can generally be considered sexually explicit.
However, there are differing opinions on what is considered sexual and sexually arousing. Young people must understand the importance of not sending images to untrustworthy individuals.
Even when someone is considered trustworthy, there is still a risk of the image being shared without consent. A good rule of thumb for young people is to consider whether they want their parents to see the image before sending it.
Being Mindful of Sexually Explicit Images
It's important for individuals, especially young people, to be cautious when sharing images. Understanding the potential risks and being mindful of who the recipient is can help prevent the unwanted dissemination of personal images.
