This article aims to reflect on sexting in the context of COVID-19, given its recommendation as a legitimate way of expressing sexuality in times of social distance. A narrative review was carried out, and documents issued by different countries were analyzed, presenting contents that express concern about the avoidance of contagion in affective-sexual expressions and pointing out possible risks of this practice. The strategic guidelines clarify alternative forms for affective relationships that avoid physical contact, pointing to sexting as a viable strategy for sexuality associated with other online experiences. Although sexting is an experience already consolidated in a technological society, information was presented about the stereotypes that permeate it. It also dealt with the risks that these experiences may involve, warning about distinctions between sexting and pornography and actions that encompass the adolescent public.
