Female Advice Preferred: Is it considered Sexting ?!D:

[Eleven_hearts]

It's kind of a long story , & I kinda need advice and help on it .
So here goes ;

Me and this guy , we have this complicated relationship . We're not "dating" , but we act like it . Well , he wanted me to take this picture with my shirt off . & I did end up doing the picture , but I haven't sent it yet . It's just a picture of me in my bra , It doesn't really show anything else except my cleavage .. But , all I want to know is ; Is it illegal ? He's 18 . & I'm 14 . Is it considered Child Pornography ? Is it considered Sexting ? He keeps asking for it and wants it . & I would just love to get it over with so he doesn't have to ask me again , but I want to know if its considered ANY of the things listed above ? PLEASE HELP .

It really depends. Technically you are not naked so it wouldn't be porn or anything, but if your parents or guardians found out they could definitely have grounds for possible legal actions since you are revealing undergarments and he is over 18 and you are 14.

I would not advice doing it since there is a possibility that in a court case they could charge him with sexting a minor and promoting child pornography. Up to you if you think it's safe with him and your parents won't find out. But again, I do not advice it.

Well since you had your bra on it's not child pornography at all or sexting, it's completely legal. If you did have your bra off or it showed your vagina then it would be sexting and probably child pornography. The picture is perfectly fine and there's no need to worry about anything. If you do this in the future, just keep your bra on and make it where you can't see your vagina and then the picture is perfectly legal.

Child pornography is a child depicting a sexual act. Someone standing in front of a mirror taking a picture is not considered child pornography, but could be argued in court as an 'art picture'. Though if there are other conversations around the picture that are sexual, it could be argued that it is sexual.

I wouldn't advise it; it may not be considered child pornography, however, that really depends on what the state/country considered child pornography. It could be argued in court that it IS and then again, it could be argued that it isn't.

However, the fact that you're 14 and he's 18 is a bigger issue. He's a legal adult, while you're a minor. If your parents were to find out, legal action could be taken against him (this also goes if you two entered in a relationship, specfically a sexual relationship). Not only this, but once that picture leaves your hands and are in his, he can do what he wants with them: send them to other people, put it on the internet. It's a very emotional thing to go through if this were to happen.

It's just so not worth it.

If he receives it for sexual pleasure, it's pornography. As Shannon said, it's just not worth it.

I wouldn't do it. i wouldn't send it. This guy sounds disgusting and into you for one reason. if you send him this picture he'll likely be asking for more later on. I'd advise not to do this cause down the road you'll look back and be like what was i thinking?

But again it's ultimatley your choice. I'm here to tell the truth, the cold hard truth. If you like the truth just pm me anytime and i'll tell you flat out what i think about anything cause in the end it'll help you a lot. (:

it is considered child pornagrophy, if anyone of any age has a picture like that at any age they'll end up in jail if caught. Trust me i've been in the same position u are.

[Youth Pastor]

Don't do it. For one he's 18, an adult, and getting a pic like that from an underage teen. It's wrong. Also, you have to look at your own self-respect. He's looking at you like an object not a human.

[AmazonQueen]

First of all if you are not comfortable with it, DON'T DO IT! Don't do it just so he stops asking. That would be a ridiculous motive. And keep in mind it is very possible he might want more...If you send naked photos next he could do time if anyone finds out. Another thing to keep in mind is that once something is out of your possession it could end up ANYWHERE. Parents (your own and of friends) could find it, teachers, peers...please be extremely careful. If you are comfortable with it and he is trust worthy I suppose we can't stop you but I strongly urge you not to do it, I think you're asking for trouble

[hkhart]

this 18 year old guy shouldn't be with younger girls.
he knows there intentions.
you shouldn't do it....cause it may not only be him that will see it.
& you don't wanna be known as that kind of girl.

don't let the insecurities lead you to things you are not comfortable with.
odds are, this guy isn't even worth it.

[MY NAME IS ERIN]

I can tell you aren't comfortable with this. Which is okay and normal. I know that you probably don't want to be sending pictures of yourself. So if you don't want to do it don't. If you wouldn't want your parents to find out...then don't do it. Trust me I know

[Nicole!]

It sounds like you don't want to send it since you're saying to 'get it over with'. If you don't feel comfortable with sending it, then don't. Just tell him no.
