Sexting, the practice of sending and receiving self-generated sexually explicit contents via mobile phone, is becoming more and more popular among the young generation, although at the cost of risking the exposure of their private material. Teenagers are not the only category at risk: one may wonder whether this practice can be even more dangerous for people with disabilities or an opportunity for them to explore their sexuality in an exposure-controlled way. In this work, we present preliminary results of an analysis regarding sexting through multimedia and how its use is perceived. Furthermore, without denying that it is crucial to educate people about the best behaviours and the drawbacks related to sexting, yet we believe that technology could help users in controlling the dissemination/forwarding of their sexy selfies and we discuss here how.

Abstract
Sexting, the practice of sending and receiving self-generated sexually explicit contents via mobile phone, is becoming more and more popular among the young generation, although at the cost of risking the exposure of their private material. Teenagers are not the only category at risk: one may wonder whether this practice can be even more dangerous for people with disabilities or an opportunity for them to explore their sexuality in an exposure-controlled way. In this work, we present preliminary results of an analysis regarding sexting through multimedia and how its use is perceived. Furthermore, without denying that it is crucial to educate people about the best behaviours and the drawbacks related to sexting, yet we believe that technology could help users in controlling the dissemination/forwarding of their sexy selfies and we discuss here how.Pubblicazioni consigliate
