Freedom to do what ever so long as it hurts no one, beside who's business is it anyways?

Case by case. Unwanted sexting could count as harassment, and it is pretty dumb to do if you are in public office or a celebrity. But being dumb is not illegal. Sadly.

As long as both the sender and the recipient are adults I don't see how it does any harm.

One major issue to making it illegal, if that were even a viable solution to whatever problems arise from sexiting. How would we regulate it, in a way that wouldn't oppress our rights?

It shouldn't be illegal, it should be of no concern to anyone not involved.

Unless the sext is breaking age limit laws who fuckin cares .......and what gives the right to tell some one what they can and can't do ....especially if it doesn't hurt anyone. ..

I have never sexted. But to me it falls in the category of free expression. Let people do what they want to do. Granted if there are ramifications from doing it, like a kid sees it, or their wife, or their boss, then they still have to pay whatever price is associated.

Yes, it should be legal. Change laws to lessen the charges? What? Topless pics are NOT a crime, nudity is not the same as sex. Too many people wrongfully conflate the two and nude pics are completely legal at any age. Unfortunately even those that should know better wrongfully conflate the two and teens end up getting wrongfully charged with a crime (and sometimes convicted). The problem is the way the laws are written, it leaves too much open to individual interruption Don't believe me that nude pics at any age are legal? Look up Jock Sturges, David Hamilton, or many other famous nude photographers. You can buy their books legally because sexual images and nude images are two different things.

Also, even if it the pics are sexual, so what? Half of teens have sex before they graduate high school (and that is a conservative estimate). Many states have consent set at 16 years old but if you take a pic you can be charged with a crime, how can this possibly make sense to anyone? Criminalizing teens in order to "protect" them, isn't protecting them, it's harming them for life! Leave your moral argument about sex before marriage out of this, and teens shouldn't have sex out of this... Just as you had a right to decide that issue for yourself, so do they, not you. Yes, teens do need to be educated on disease and pregnancy (and in my opinion have free access to healthcare professionals, as well as condoms).

Also, the argument some make, that if the pics get out they embarrass the teens and leave them open for bullying is inherently illogical. It puts the power in the bully's hands and subjugates everyone else. The issue isn't solved by discouraging innate human sexuality, but rather empowering teens to make their own decisions and be proud of their bodies. The power to embarrass someone isn't in a picture, it's in the way society (and the individual) react to it.
