In contemporary societies, drastic are produced in sexual education taught by traditional socializing instances (family, school and community) and, increasing Illegal, and, with different levels of interactivity that can go through visualization, virtual contact or sexual encounter; It is becoming the main "educating" instance through which adolescents build a decontextualized sexuality, with attitudes and behaviors of risk, sexist and violent that recent scientific evidence associates with the increase in sexual violence and gender violence against women. Sexting is an example of this environmental pornography, mediated by the technological revolution, to which adolescents are exposed and, according to the evidence, at an increasingly early ages with important gender differences. While there are interesting previous studies that help us understand the new pornography, in Ecuador and in particular in the Cuenca canton, research on this subject is still scarce, in this sense, we lack a diagnosis that allows us to know the current state and the relationship it keeps with sexual behaviors, sexual violence and gender violence. As a contribution to this knowledge vacuum, the research proposes to analyze the consumption of new pornography in adolescents of the Cuenca canton from a gender approach, and the relationship that keeps sex-affective behaviors, gender violence against women and sexual violence.
