sext

Intimate digital communication

Sext is a text message with sexual content—explicit photos, videos, or suggestive language sent electronically.

The verb means to send such messages: They'd been sexting for weeks before meeting in person.

Originally associated with teenagers and cautionary tales about digital permanence, sexting is now mainstream among adults in romantic relationships.
