I think you&#x27;ve severely misread my comment.  I&#x27;m absolute NOT proposing any kind of &quot;abstinence only education&quot; regarding sexting.<p>I support what you said about teaching the risks and safer alternatives.  If that&#x27;s what &quot;safe sexting&quot; initiatives are teaching, great!  However, that wasn&#x27;t the impression I got from reading the article you linked - it talked a lot about the legal risks, a bit about trust and consent and a bit about taking &quot;safe&quot; sexy pictures that people won&#x27;t be able to identify you in.  My point in the comment above was that even if you do all of that, a lot of the risk is simply outside of your control.  That&#x27;s fine - people do risky things all the time, it&#x27;s part of life.  I just don&#x27;t like taking an approach that&#x27;s essentially harm reduction and calling it &quot;safe&quot;.
