Journal of social sciences, v. 6, issue 4 (2010), via WWW, viewed Feb. 13, 2011: p. 542 (The term "sexting" is a combination of two terms "text" and "sex". The term is being applied to situations to sending self-created nude or semi-nude sexually provocative images or sexually explicit text; there are clear indicators that this behavior should be considered within the range of normative human sexual behavior. This being said, there are significantly greater risks to engage in this behavior.)
