According to the survey, almost one in five teen boys (18 percent) say they have sent or posted nude/semi-nude images of themselves. One-third (33 percent) of young adults — 36 percent of women and 31 percent of men ages 20-26 — say they have sent or posted such images.<br><br>Diamond, a teen who spoke to TODAY along with a panel of other young people, said, “I also have female friends who have pictures of guys' private area, chest, all type of stuff like that. So it happens.” </p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>The online survey of 1,280 teens and young adults — done by TRU, a company that conducts research on teens and 20-somethings — indicates that 15 percent of teens who have sent sexually suggestive content such as text messages, e-mail, photographs or video say they have done so with someone they only know online.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><b><strong>Real life imitates life online<br></strong></b>What teens and young adults are doing electronically seems to have an effect on what they do in real life: Nearly one-quarter of teens (22 percent) admit that technology makes them personally more forward and aggressive. More than one-third of teens (38 percent) say exchanging sexy content makes dating or hooking up with others more likely and nearly one-third of teens (29 percent) believe those exchanging sexy content are “expected” to date or hook up.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>“That so many young people say technology is encouraging an even more casual hook-up culture is reason for concern, given the high rates of teen and unplanned pregnancy in the United States,” said Marisa Nightingale, senior adviser to the Entertainment Media Program at the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. “Parents should understand that their own notions of what's public, what's private, and what's appropriate may differ greatly from how teens and young adults define these concepts.”</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>Here are five tips from the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy to help parents talk to their kids about sex and technology.</p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><b><strong>Talk to your kids about what they are doing in cyberspace.</strong></b> <br>Just as you need to talk openly and honestly with your kids about real-life sex and relationships, you also want to discuss online and cell phone activity. Make sure your kids fully understand that messages or pictures they send over the Internet or their cell phones are not truly private or anonymous. Also make sure they know that others might forward their pictures or messages to people they do not know or want to see them, and that school administrators and employers often look at online profiles to make judgments about potential students/employees. It’s essential that your kids grasp the potential short-term and long-term consequences of their actions. </p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><b><strong>Know who your kids are communicating with.</strong></b> <br>Of course it’s a given that you want to know who your children are spending time with when they leave the house. Also do your best to learn who your kids are spending time with online and on the phone. Supervising and monitoring your kids’ whereabouts in real life and in cyberspace doesn’t make you a nag; it’s just part of your job as a parent. Many young people consider someone a “friend” even if they’ve only met online. What about your kids? </p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><b><strong>Consider limitations on electronic communication.</strong></b> <br>The days of having to talk on the phone in the kitchen in front of the whole family are long gone, but you can still limit the time your kids spend online and on the phone. Consider, for example, telling your teen to leave the phone on the kitchen counter when they’re at home and to take the laptop out of their bedroom before they go to bed, so they won’t be tempted to log on or talk to friends at 2 a.m.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="right" style="padding:5 0 0 15;"><tr><td><script>getCSS("3314183")</script><div style="width:152;" class="box_3314183 cbx cbx-int" ct="its" cn="5 tech secrets parents need to know" pn=""><script></script><table width="152" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="boxH_3314183"><tr><td width="1%" class="boxHI_3314183"><img src="/web/20081210173237im_/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/images/icons/interactive.gif" width="20" height="14"></td><td width="*" nowrap class="boxHC_3314183"><div class="hauto textSmallBold">Special feature</div></td></tr></table><table width="152" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="boxB_3314183"><tr valign="top"><td><div style="text-align:middle;height:100%;width:100%;background-color:#cccccc;background-image:url('/web/20081210173237im_/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/images/backgrounds/component_dkgrey.gif');text-align:center;"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081210173237/http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26745827"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20081210173237im_/http://msnbcmedia2.msn.com/i/msnbc/Components/ArtAndPhoto-Fronts/TECH/080915/oom-DangerousInternet.gif" border="0" style="border:1px solid #000000;" height="45" width="60" vspace="0" hspace="0"></a><div class="scalAd"><input type="button" class="mbox w77" value="Launch" title="Launch" onmouseover="swapbtn(this, 1)" onmouseout="swapbtn(this, 0)" onclick="javascript:window.location.replace('https://web.archive.org/web/20081210173237/http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26745827');"></div></div></td></tr><tr valign="top"><td class="boxBI_3314183"><div class="textHang"><span class="textMedBlackBold"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081210173237/http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26745827">5 tech secrets parents need to know</a></span><br><span class="textMed">Love it or not, Mom and Dad, technology isn't going away.
