Abstract

This article aims to determine the prevalence of sending nude pictures/videos in the Norwegian population and investigates gender differences regarding consensual, unsolicited, and coerced experiences. Data were obtained from a probability-based web survey of 2181 men and 1967 women between 18 and 89 years old. The majority of participants expressed relatively accepting attitudes toward sending nude pictures/videos, and men expressed more positive attitudes than women. Twenty-nine percent of participants reported having lifetime experience with sending nude pictures/videos, and sending nude pictures/videos was more common in younger individuals than older individuals. More women than men claimed that they sent their most recent nude picture to a committed partner, and twice as many men than women had sent a nude picture to a stranger or a person they only had contact with on the Internet. In addition, more than twice as many women than men reported consensual sending nude pictures/videos, and more men than women sent unsolicited pictures/videos. Consensual sending nude pictures/videos was characterized by the presence of men and women within committed relationships. In Norway, sending nude pictures/videos seems to be a way of being sexual in the context of committed relationships.

  • Træen and Kvalem (2023) found 4.8% engaged in 'coerced sending' of nudes, more women than men (6.5% vs 3.2%) (n = 4,148).

    “Træen and Kvalem (2023) found that 4.8% of respondents engaged in “coerced sending” of nudes (more women than men—6.5% vs. 3.2%) (n = 4,148).”

    From Image-Based Sexual Abuse Perpetration: A Scoping Review (2024) · cites this paper as Træen and Kvalem (2023)

    The Results report 4.8% in the coerced-sending category, and Table 2 gives 6.5% for women versus 3.2% for men. But these percentages describe respondents who had sent a nude image and answered the question about their most recent sending (n = 1,180), not all 4,148 survey respondents. The Methods also define this category to include unwanted sending without reported pressure. (LLM, conf=0.90)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Træen and Kvalem (2023) found 67.3% of respondents reported sending unsolicited nude or sexual images, higher for men than women (77.1% vs 57.3%) (n = 4,148).

    “Træen and Kvalem (2023) found that 67.3% of respondents reported sending unsolicited nude or sexual images, which was higher for men compared to women (77.1% vs. 57.3%) (n = 4,148).”

    From Image-Based Sexual Abuse Perpetration: A Scoping Review (2024) · cites this paper as Træen and Kvalem (2023)

    Table 2 in Results reports exactly 67.3% overall, 77.1% for men, and 57.3% for women for unsolicited sending. But those percentages describe the context of the most recently sent nude among 1,180 respondents, not the prevalence of unsolicited sending among all 4,148 survey respondents. (LLM, conf=0.92)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • One study used 'unsolicited and coerced sending of nude images' to capture coercive sexting and nonconsensual sharing.

    “another “unsolicited and coerced sending of nude images” to capture coercive sexting and nonconsensual sharing (Træen & Kvalem, 2023)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
