Abstract:
The article addresses the phenomenon known as “revenge porn” or “non-consensual pornography”, proposing a more precise term such as “non-consensual use of sexual images”. This crime refers to the publication of intimate content without the consent of the person involved, often with the intent to harm their reputation and privacy. Non-consensual pornography affects millions of people, as evidenced by data from Italy, where there are over two million victims and millions of users who have viewed this type of content online. The article highlights the psychological and emotional impact of revenge porn, the violation of privacy, the legal implications, and the damage to the victims’ reputations. It emphasizes the need for affective-sexual education to prevent this and other sexual health issues, promoting healthy and respectful relationships. Education should include concepts of consent, open communication, and awareness of the risks associated with affective-sexual relationships. Young people should also be educated about the responsible use of the internet and the recognition of non-consensual pornography.
