    Sexting is defined as the act of sharing images, videos, or messages in an insinuating or sexual manner, through electronic devices via the internet. On the other hand, self-esteem involves viewing oneself in a positive or negative light. This research analyzed sexting and self-esteem in adolescents (N=100) from the rural area of Cotopaxi province. The research model used was quantitative, with a descriptive and correlational design. The instruments used were the Sexting Behavior Scale (SBS) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. (EAR). The results show that there is no conclusive correlation between the variables, suggesting that other factors, such as the sociocultural environment, might have a greater influence on these behaviors and personal perception. The practice of sexting turned out to be limited, and the self-esteem of adolescents was mostly distributed at medium and high levels. Moreover, no significant differences were observed in sexting behaviors between men and women.
