This blog entry includes graphs based on data the Sex and Tech:Results from a Survey of Teens and Young Adults by the The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. From the document with survey results:
This survey was fielded online to a total of 1,280 respon- dents—653 teens (ages 13-19) and 627 young adults (ages 20-26) between september 25, 2008 and october 3, 2008. It was conducted by tRu, a global leader in research on teens and 20-somethings.
At present, it is estimated that about 90% of teens and young adults are online. Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have volunteered to participate in tRu’s online surveys. Respondents were stratified according to the u.s. Census and the data have been weighted to reflect the demographic composition of teens and young adults. Respondents do not constitute a probability sample.
This document contains the precise language used in the sur- vey and separate results for teens and young adults, as well as the total combined. for additional data, please visit www.

Sure wish I'd had this last week. It was the topic of my 10th grade advisory, and we had a great discussion, but the visuals/data would have enhanced our conversation.
Don't know if this will help you, Miguel but I keep a Diigo list on sexting topics.
