AB  - Sexting is a risky phenomenon that becomes a popular part of electronic communication among young people. This phenomenon did not avoid university students who consensually send and share their own intimate material. The paper describes the results of a research which focuses on the occurrence of sexting activities in a sample of students of Palacký University in Olomouc. Quantitative research was conducted by a questionnaire survey which also aimed to find out the views of selected students on this risky behavior and why are they sexting. A total of 421 students participated in the research. They filled in an electronic form of a questionnaire survey. The main result showed that 83,8 % of them have sent a sexually suggestive message to someone and 63,4 % shared their nude or seminude picture/video.
