Giordano, Amanda L.; Schmit, Michael K.; Clement, Kervins; Potts, Ellie E.; Graham, Adrienne R.
Professional School Counseling, v26 n1 2022
To better inform school counseling programming and practice, we assessed trends related to pornography use and sexting behaviors among adolescents. Approximately 53% of the sample had seen pornography, with an average age of 11.5 years old at first exposure. Almost 15% of adolescents had sent a sext and 24.3% had received a sext. The correlation between pornography use and sending a sext was significant. We discuss gender and racial differences and implications for school counselors.
