Abstract

The advancement of technology and the acceleration of time offers adolescents new spaces and new forms of social dynamics, leading to social networks becoming an important role. This new trend of conversations, as well as the natural desire to explore sexuality has led teens to become interested in a new phenomenon known as sexting. The objective of the present review is to analyze the available information on sexting and its relationship with the use of drugs and sexual risk behavior. We found 11 articles that addressed the practice of sexting, drug use and sexual behavior in adolescents and young people. Studies showed that the practice of sexting is increased by consuming some type of drug such as alcohol, marijuana, or other substances, as well as, engaging in risky sexual behaviors such as anal, vaginal, or oral sex without protection.
