According to researchers at the University of New Hampshire
根據(jù)新罕布什爾大學的調查研究，
seven percent of all child pornography possession arrests are teens, sexting consensually with other teens.
因兒童色情被捕的人群中，有百分之七都是青少年，而他們都是兩廂情愿的發(fā)送色情短信。
Child pornography is a serious crime, but it's just not the same thing as teen sexting.
兒童色情是重罪，但是與青少年的色情短信還是有所差異的。
Parents and educators are also responding to sexting without really thinking too much about consent.
很多父母和教育工作者也都往往不假思索的對色情短信作出反應，而不去認真思考同意的問題。
Their message to teens is often: just don't do it.
他們往往冷冰冰的告訴孩子們：不要這么做。
And I totally get it -- there are serious legal risks and of course, that potential for privacy violations.
我也完全明白--當然這其中包含很嚴重的法律風險，也可能觸犯私人隱私。
And when you were a teen, I'm sure you did exactly as you were told, right?
你們還是青少年的時候，肯定也按吩咐辦事，對吧？
You're probably thinking, my kid would never sext.
你可能認為我的孩子從不發(fā)色情短信。
And that's true, your little angel may not be sexting because only 33 percent of 16- and 17-year-olds are sexting.
的確，你的小寶貝可能不會發(fā)色情短信，因為16到17歲這個年齡段里，只有百分之三十三的人會發(fā)送色情短信。
But, sorry, by the time they're older, odds are they will be sexting.
但是，當他們長大些，概率是他們會發(fā)送色情短信。
Every study I've seen puts the rate above 50 percent for 18- to 24-year-olds.
每一個我所看過的研究顯示，18到24歲人群中發(fā)送色情短信的人數(shù)過半。
And most of the time, nothing goes wrong. People ask me all the time things like, isn't sexting just so dangerous, though?
大多情況下，這也沒有出現(xiàn)什么問題。人們總問我發(fā)色情短信不是很危險嗎？
It's like you wouldn't leave your wallet on a park bench and you expect it's going to get stolen if you do that, right?
就像你不會把你的錢包落在公園椅子上，因為你覺得這樣做，錢包會被偷，對吧？
Here's how I think about it: sexting is like leaving your wallet at your boyfriend's house.
我覺得是這樣的：發(fā)色情短信就如把錢包丟在了男友家里一樣。
If you come back the next day and all the money is just gone, you really need to dump that guy.
如果你第二天回來發(fā)現(xiàn)錢都沒了的話，你真的可以把他甩了。
So instead of criminalizing sexting to try to prevent these privacy violations,
所以，與其將發(fā)送色情短信違法化以此來試圖防止隱私侵犯，
instead we need to make consent central to how we think about the circulation of our private information.
我們可以將同意，當作我們如何看待我們隱私信息的傳播的中心。
