CANBERRA (Reuters Life!) – Teens sending nude or suggestive photos of themselves over their mobile phones are being warned — “sexting” can damage your future.
Australia’s state government of New South Wales launched an education campaign this week to combat the growing practice of “sexting,” saying these images or sexually explicit text messages can be posted on the Internet or forwarded to others, which can end up in harassment or even sexual assault.
“Sexting,” a play on the term texting, has become a concern for parents and schools internationally with the proliferation of mobile phones with cameras and social networking sites, but such images can be classified as child pornography by law.

Just as “the cougar” has territorially marked the whole of pop culturedom, a new female predator is stalking into collective consciousness: “The hyena.” She is a younger and more aggressive creature, but hungers for male meat — wink, wink — all the same. Dr. Jennifer Austin Leigh, the “number one teen girl expert in America,” recently coined this descriptor in her book, “Laid or Loved? The Secrets Guys Wish You Knew About Being a Dream Girl Instead of a Just-in-his-Jeans Girl.”
You might ask: How is a cackling beast with bone-crushing jaws descriptive of girls’ sexual behavior? According to a press release, Leigh chose the female hyena because it is “far more aggressive than its male counterparts” and engages in “sexually explicit taunting.” Another fun fact not mentioned by the press release: The female hyena has a greatly elongated and erect clitoris, or “pseudo-penis,” which subordinate males are made to lick. (And, in the hyena queendom, all males are inferiors.) Hmm, OK.
See, Leigh thinks that today’s young girls are similarly dominating and “preying” on boys. She quotes Steven, a teenage boy she interviewed about losing his virginity: “I was at a party and had too much to drink. One of the girls decided she wanted a thrill and pulled off my pants and made me get a hard-on and had sex with me … Everyone watched. Some friends even took pictures of us on their cell phones. I don’t remember a lot of it. But I regret that I lost my virginity like that.” She replies: ”‘Like that’ is sometimes de facto rape.”

MARCH 26–A female porn star employed an underage girl as a stripper at a West Virginia gentleman’s club she owns, police charge. Alexandria Imperial, 33, is facing a felony charge of employing a minor for sexually explicit conduct, according to a March 20 criminal complaint (a copy of which you’ll find here). Imperial allegedly “knew or should have known” that a 17-year-old girl was working in Club Venus, a Hepzibah strip joint.
The Magistrate Court complaint notes that cops seized a video from the club showing the teen, identified only as “H.D.,” removing her clothes and “performing a private dance in a back room” for a female patron. Imperial’s husband Brett, 20, was also charged because he allegedly knew the dancer was underage.
Alexandria Imperial has performed in scores of adult films as “Alex Monroe” or “Alisandra.” A brief (honest!) review of her career indicates that Imperial often plays the role of a desirous mother in explicit films such as “Diary of a MILF” and “Seduced by a Cougar.” Imperial is pictured below in her recent mug shot and a scene from one of her films. She and her spouse are free on $50,000 bond, and face up to ten years in jail if convicted of the charge.

A quick Google search for “sex” returns a whopping 67 million pages. A search for “porn” turns up more than 18 million pages.
As popular and ubiquitous as sex is on the Internet, it would seem like a natural fit for Web-based businesses looking to attract page views and revenue.
But some big sites built on user-shared content have decided it’s smart business to limit sexually explicit material.
