Ok, they don't actually say that, but they do say a lot of sexting is done due to force.

Nature makes teenaged boys so horny that they can't think straight and do stupid shit. Is that something we can change through education and scolding? I honestly don't know?

“I think it is a surprising finding,” Drouin said. “Coercion into sexting caused more trauma, for both men and women … than coercion into actual physical sex.”

Let's see how many rape victims agree with that.

Approximately one fifth of the sample indicated that they had engaged in sexting when they did not want to. Those who had been coerced into sexting had usually been coerced by subtler tactics (e.g., repeated asking and being made to feel obligated) than more severe forms of coercion (e.g., physical threats). Nevertheless, the trauma related to these acts of coercion both at the time they occurred and now (looking back) were greater for sexting coercion than for physical sex coercion. Moreover, women noted significantly more trauma now (looking back) than at the time the events occurred for sexting coercion.

Women make decisions and regret them? The HELL you say!

But seriously, this isn't TRAUMA, it's REGRET.

Over in the EU, that's equivalent.
