    The literal first paragraph in the article says the 17 year old had just kissed his girlfriend goodnight and then got this message on Insta.

    If you’re sending random dickpics to random people you don’t know, while in a relationship, that is most definitely on you. Don’t be a scumbag and it won’t happen.

      Teenage relationships are unstable in part because a big chunk of the population hasn’t figured this out yet.

        Generally teenage relationships are unstable because kids aren’t mature at that age

        But generally by 16 to 17 most kids know cheating isn’t a good thing

          About 1/3 of boys that age haven’t figured that out yet. That’s an awful lot of potential victims for this kind of extortion.

            What’s your source for that? I’m actually asking, not trying to be dismissive.

              My recollection of a study about 20 years back where they asked college women to ask out guys at random. About a third of the guys who said yes were in a relationship.

                oh thats interesting and sad. do you know which study that was?

                also not trying to be dismissive, but I wonder how they asked the men out. like was it clear that it was a date or could it be mistaken for someone who was looking for someone to drink a beer together?

                  I doubt I’ll find it;; it was in the paper-journals era. If I recall correctly, the form of question ranged from “it’s a date” to “let’s sleep together”

                  A LOT of guys at that age just want to get laid more, and a big chunk simply don’t care about existing relationships if they think they can get away with it. This matches my personal experience.
