2. Security If you took photos or recorded a video with suggestive images and saved them to your phone or sent them to your personal email, they could be stored in the "cloud". Even if you have not shared them with anyone, you are at risk.

3. Sextorssion. You could suffer a form of sexual exploitation with which you are blackmailed to force you to have sex. It does not have to do only with economic extortion. The pressure can be on the Internet, which guarantees certain anonymity.
