The year-old, from Colorado, started texting the girl, during his visit to the Future Farmers of America conference in He first sent both of them a photo of his erect penis before asking them to send a naked selfie in return, Reason magazine reported. Colorado's Supreme Court heard the girls were reluctant to send the nude photos but only did so after his repeated requests. The court convicted him after it was ruled he wanted the photos for "overt sexual gratification". Police discovered the photos when the boy was arrested on an unrelated charge, court documents revealed. He was then charged and convicted with the sexual exploitation of a child, and ordered to spend two years on probation. Communications Professor Amy Hasinoff told the Washington Post : "Asking a few times for a photo doesn't rise to the level of what should be on the sex offender registry.

A n article in the US magazine the Atlantic this week described one man's childhood horror of boys' open changing rooms and naked school swimming lessons. It felt like an injustice, he said, compared with the privacy that the girls were afforded — and this sense of injustice was only compounded in later life by public medical examinations in the army and extensive training on preserving a patient's modesty in medical school, which mysteriously left out the needs of men. The message was clear throughout his life, says the author: women get toilet and changing cubicles, gowns at the doctors' surgery and separate examination rooms. Men get told: man up, pants down. It is a serious issue, and one that shouldn't be swept under the carpet with the vague protest that women have to "put up with more". The dreaded charade of undressing in front of your peers of the same sex is something most of us will have encountered at some point, whether in school or that one time you pledged to do "a year of rigorous exercise" and then went to the gym for a single minute workout.

By Louisa Peacock , Deputy women's editor. Research by Professor Emma Renold at Cardiff University, in collaboration with the NSPCC, has highlighted the pressure to turn a close boy-girl friendship into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship from a young age, because of the stigma attached to girls and boys sharing the same interests. During a qualitative study involving interviews with children aged 10, 11 and 12, one boy admitted that he had to pretend his best friend Alice was a cousin for an entire school year, so that they could hang out free from "heterosexual teasing". One boy talked about how his primary school 'girlfriend' of five years helped him cope with the death of his father. But, says Prof Renold, the children largely talked about boyfriend-girlfriend cultures as something they had little choice about particpating in. The eight types of friends all women need. High heels for girls are sexualising children, parenting groups warn. One boy admitted it was a "virtual rule" that "if you had a girlfriend you were marked out as cool, if you didn't you were a chav". The study, carried out to understand how pre-teens feel about growing up in an increasingly sexualised society, also paints an alternative picture for how young boys and girls are responding to the bombardment of sexual imagery on TV and in music videos.
