Running around naked in the 60s - absolutely.

Believe me, Polaroids leave something to be desired (even though I've seen 'em). If there had been phones with cameras 2000 years ago, then teens would have sent pictures.

I guess what doesn't make sense are 30-40+ year olds sexting. Seemed to make sense when you're young, but not as much now.

Age changes your perspective.
