Abstract
The technological revolution, together with the sexual revolution, has favored the exchange of sexual, suggestive or provocative content, generating a social and media alarm. The present study aims to analyze the relationship between age, gender, sexual orientation and some sexual behaviors and conceptions with being a receiver and sender of sexting. For this, a sample of 74 university students of legal age was used and two binary logistic regression models were carried out to identify and study the correlation between the independent variables and the dependent variables: being a receiver of sexting and being a sender of sexting. The results show the existence of statistically significant correlations between provocative party clothing and revealing underwear with being a receiver of sexting and, on the other hand, between age and posing nude for photographs for the couple with being a sender of sexting.
