作者：

Highlights：

• Study asks teens to present themselves online in non-explicit sexual ways.

• Sexual intensity of self-presentation is predicted by the sexual self-concept.

• Sexual media diet mediates link between self-concept and presentation intensity.

• Extraversion moderates effects of self-concept and sexual media on presentation.

• Future research should treat sexual self-presentation (sexting) as a media effect.
