Is sexting a risk? According to at least one source, ABC News, it's like passing notes used to be, but with a lot more intense involvment,

click here. This isn't yet a private study, but it may become one, so we are asking some questions about sexting, wanna help? Have some questions you'd just love to have asked, but maybe, you are a bit leary about asking them? Read on, you will see how this is going to be looked into.
Game theory isn't about games at all, it is about chance, when will you take a chance, and what will prompt you to do that- what are you willing to risk, and what cost do you assign to that risk, that's game theory. We used to play a contest in sociology called "break out," and what it involved was a boy or girl from a broken home, meaning, one that doesn't work, where mom and dad don't believe in love, anymore, if they ever did, and where the parent may not even be present- they may be working, or, in some other way removed, as in, through the bliss of the bottle or the snort, or the shot- because many times; as shocking as that is to many people who like to pretend they are beyond it, such situations actually do happen. Oh the anger is deep out there in over half the marriages in so called Christian homes, mom or dad is gone- now while you're asking yourself, "why," refocus on the opening statement, game theory- it's about risk, what are you willing to put at risk, it's about motive, why are you willing to risk it?
Time to get down to it, because here is the interesting truth behind sexual conduct, it's always been a risk- becuase men and women are different, and the species, humanity, is the hold card- the bluff, well; it's out there, and in our U.S. culture, it's pretty warped, world wide, sexual conduct and mores (pronouned MoreRays, meaning:
(
Wikipedia's version click here) (
For what appears to be a European slant, click here)) have begun the process of becoming estranged from their cultural docks, and the ship of conduct has set sail- only in our world that sail is becoming a sale. What does it take to win? Who wins and what do they win? Hugh Hefner has an empire designed upon the principle that we will look at what we believe is a secret that we are looking- and a shame of sorts if we are caught- but the conduct of beholding a magazine "bunny," (why what could be more likeable than a cuddly little "bunny?") is acceptable risk for a mild form of voyeuristic indulgence that Hugh established and made an empire of. So that voyeuristic nuance, the subtle taking a second look that Bill Cosby made fun of in defining lust, all of a sudden springs up in the midst of articles, and advertising, which, because the magazine empire became so enormous, was very fruitful advertising indeed. Money thus became a factor in the indulgence, and the winners were- and the risk was- and the risk, is? To Hugh Hefner and the empire which came about, one would have to ask at what point it proves something?
Sexting is but the newest form of a game that has been going on for centuries, sometimes played with subtle moves, sometimes discreet, sometimes, not; depending upon the level of expertise in the player; but the game is sexual in nature and it boils down to man and woman and- wanting - because it is the wanting that is the prompter. It is as old as the story of a garden where God said, "you shall not eat of that fruit- it is the knowledge of good and evil," at which point, the participants in the game (indulge me on that one) were not capable of evil- they only knew good- enter- wanting. According to the story a third party which the ancient Hebrews called
na'khash' (translated as Serpent) then approached the woman and tested whether she was logical, and she was, she was asked if God had said she'd die when she ate the fruit, her response was to try and remember exactly what it was that God said; which is when she became the serpents messenger, at that point, the game was on, in full swing, had she said "it doesn't matter," who knows what the serpent would have come up with; you can count on one thing, he likely wouldn't have stopped. Back to the story- we all believe we get it, but the truth is, stuff was going on that scientists today are just beginning to get a grasp of,
genetics were being messed with. So at the conclusion of this tale, the man joins with her, which is his problem, he didn't have to, but actually it's my opinion, if you dig down deep enough, it was actually not an ignoble act at all, which man, when he really loves a woman would let her stand alone in an assault? So from this experience, we get the first, perhaps, socially recounted tale of "want." The want was not inside the person, it was brought to them from a source, and my friend, that is the way it is today. Fast forward to boys and girls, because it isn't usually adults, to some extent, at this present time, who are playing with sexting, it is boys and girls, usually, high school age, which means they don't believe they are boys and girls, they believe that they understand the consequences of what they are doing, and that foolish adults just "don't get it." All teenaged rebels express that very same thought, but these choose to assign to it, a permanent potential for harm to their future, sexting isn't a temporary picture that is to entire, it can become, a public display for all to see. Most who sextext don't really get that, but, again, what is the question when it comes to want? The question is, risk, is it worth the risk?
So like any person who doesn't really understand a trend that is so different to my generational nuance, my tendency is to question it; and to reject it, and to wonder if it is possible to bring into the mix science which addresses not the moral aspect, but the actual real risk factor? My questions are going to be myriad, and if you would like to contribute to the question base, we would love your input, please comment in questions that you think should be asked, please make your comments PG rated (however) in the forum, now, if you have a question about "scrumping," which can only be asked using the "f" word then go ahead and email me your question, we're not here to judge, rather we are seeking to try and fathom behavior of going against established authority, that is different than risky behavior like smoking, and drinking; both of which we believe can also be addressed by game theory. We look forward to any questions you believe we should be asking that we aren't.
