you'll find no sympathy here

exactly, this screams YDI

#50 if it wasn't wrong it wouldn't be illegal I think you have your morals mixed up not her.

What are you talking about? Sexting isn't illegal. And there's nothing wrong with doing it, we can't just assume he's a creepy bloke sending his dick to various women, he might have had a gf on the other end disappointed she didn't receive her picture.

sexting is illegal? damn I broke the law

Sexting while driving is illegal. Sexting a minor as an adult is illegal. But just regular sexting? No that's just a good bit of regular fun. And If they were going to illegalize sexual acts/fetishes, sexting would not be the first to go!

1, I don't think he deserves it for sending it, but being so hasty that he didn't check who the recipient would be.

totally YDI!! Don't ever take a photo that you are unwilling to show everyone. Even if you send it to your GF/BF its still out there. My husbands phone automatically sends his photos to his cloud, lots of people's do. You also have the worry about it being posted or used against you if you break up. Polaroids are the only ones that are semi safe and even then you have to maintain complete ownership of them. The question here is not so much legality or morality, its stupidly! So yeah OP YDI completely.

PS OP, no one wants to see that without asking for it.

or more to the point - stop taking them

Right how are you gorgeous

Are you dumb? He could be sending this picture to his gf. Why is he not allowed to send pics to his gf?

I think that if he wants to send nudes, that's his business. I think it is a 'ydi' situation because he somehow managed to send his dad a pic when it was meant for 'whoever'. I think that the only way that this is plausible is if he had two conversations going at once, one being with his dad, and he accidentally replied to the wrong thread. Or if the girl had a name that started with the same letter as the name that he has his dad put under in his phone.

Sexting is illegal.

@ 108 Or if he was sending it to a dude who had the same name? I'm sure some homosexual males sext too?

Yes 135, I realized after I commented that I should have put gf/bf

Pics like that are only illegal if the Sender is a minor. Because then it becomes child ****

Over where I live, sexting gets you fined heavily, there has also been talk about making it illegal because of all the bullying and suicides. I just don't see why kids nowadays do not realize how mortifying it could be. If the person they sent the nude to were to be a complete jack anus and send it around school that would be awful! Yet the generation that is making its way into adulthood is a society of sex, drugs, and parties. I wish these kids could have the ability to learn from the mistakes of others. When a father came to school about his son (who committed suicide) everyone talked about it on Facebook for approximately 2 days before going back to badgering the innocent kids who just want to get through life. I hope a law gets passed to stop sexting, bullying, etcetera; at the very least there should be a increase in enforcement against the acts.

145 - How can you be "fined heavily" for something if it's not illegal yet? You make a law THEN start enforcing it, not the other way around.

Exactly, my point. Child pornography is illegal.

Guys, relax. Don't gotta debate, just enjoy

sexting is not illegal as long as the sender and recipient are not minors. if they are then it's child ****. those people who get their pics sent about the school are probably underage and so THEY are doing something illegal, not sexters who are of age

@150 op never said their age, so we don't know he's a minor or not.

#66 if they're under aged it is

I don't see why y'all are fighting over this. #1 is right if he didn't send pictures it wouldn't happen. Doesn't mean he shouldn't send them, just that it's easily preventable if they didn't. I just don't see how it could've went to his dad. Anytime I send a picture I double and triple check who I'm sending it to so that I can prevent this sort of thing.

uhm, underage sexting is illegal due to the 'child ****' implication while decisions are made immaturely. had the op been 19 then its perfecting legal and ok.

yea! I'd send another text asking what an imaginary spot was

Ok, I'll ask. What the hell is an imaginary spot?

I'll give you a hint.

Was that the hint?

They meant, as a cover up. "Hey Dad, can you tell me what this spot is? Is it normal?"

Nbd unless he didn't know you had a farm...awk

thank you 87, that's what I meant. asking if a nonexistent spot is normal just as a coverup as to why he sent that pic

Probably to send to his girlfriend or something; it's not uncommon. Also, the post never mentioned anything about the picture being saved..

if the girl wants the D she'll get it in person

There is a thing called 'long distance relationships' where getting some action in person is sorta next to impossible. In situations like that, pictures are what get you from one visit to the next. Some people also use pictures to make a big day of sex. My fiancé has sent me pictures while I was at work to get the ball rolling and I've done the same. It adds the expectancy thrill when you have to wait all day to come home and "get the D." Snorax wouldn't know anything about that, though. Would he?

@#28, That's not always possible, obviously.

28, If I had to guess, I'd say you don't know much about relationships.

it's one thing to just prove me wrong but it's another thing to go on and say I have no sex life. completely uncalled for

What you have said was uncalled for.

Hey #3, try not to fight back in the comment section, you almost never win.

84- judging by the fact you didn't even try to deny it, happle must be correct. Saying 'wants the D' was a dead giveaway though.

Or to his boyfriend!

OP you're a bit of a dick....

Hardly a dick move.

That wood be awkward.

Unless your girlfriends name is Daisy you are not off the hook

Oh god I hope so. That would just make this all the more hilarious.

That was my first thought as well...did he send one back...what was his response.

Get the pole out your ass, its FML it's about jokes!

Just imagine he texts back saying "That's my boy!"

98, you really are as stupid as you look.

Your picture suits your comment, well done sir.

is that your thumb?

My old man would have said "next time keep the zoom down to 100x this is too grainy to be realistic. A chick will definitely be able to tell." Ahh I miss the vindictive old bastard :P

He should turn the table around and send back a picture of his own.
