Real Reasons Why Woman Text Naked Photos (nudes) Of Themselves

Sexting is not something that started today. it has existed for a long time but is waxing at our present days. Some people conderm it, to some it is already a part of there lives, some do it but are afraid of what the public may say about them.......just a lot down the line but few mentioned.

Sexting nude or semi-nude photos to a partner is more common these days. But why people sext explicit photographs isn't always discussed. Of course, you can say that the reason is to heat things up when you're not physically in the same place with the person  you are sexting. But as Morgan Johnstonbaugh (a researcher) discovered, the exact motives are surprisingly complex.

Morgan Johnstonbaugh, a PhD candidate in the school of sociology at the University of Arizona, decided to do a study looking into what motivats young adults to sext images. She made a survey on  about 2,000 college students during the 2018-2019 academic year and asked them some questions about their sexting habits.

The students were asked to describe the last time they sent a nude or semi-nude photograph of themselves to another person through the internet. About 60% said they had sent some in the past. Of those who reported sending a photo, 75%  of them were women.
The students were then asked why they shared there nude or semi-nude photograph. They were presented with a list of 23 possible reasons and told to check as many or as few as they wanted.

After Johnstonbaugh hit the numbers, it was found that the female students were four times more likely than their male counterparts to send nude or semi-nude photographs of themselves in order to prevent the recipient from losing sexual interest in them and also to keep the bond.

At the same time, women were four times more likely than men to say that they sent images as a way to feel empowered, and they were twice as likely to say that sexting boosted their confidence.

Interestingly, it wasn't uncommon for the female students in the study to select both empowering and disempowering reasons for sexting, showing the two aren't mutually exclusive.
"These interactions can be much more complex than people realize," Johnstonbaugh says. "When you're thinking about sharing a photo with someone, you might have competing ideas influencing your behavior." For example, you may be doing it to excite a partner or influence their reaction in another way, but you might also be doing it to express your sexuality for your own benefit.


Johnstonbaugh presented her not-yet-published study at the American Sociological Association Annual Meeting in New York City last week. She hopes her research will spark discussion around sexting and help people, especially the parents of young adults, to see that it's a complex activity and shouldn't be dismissed.
"A lot of parents just don't want to think about that, or they tell their children, 'Never do that,'" Johnstonbaugh says.
