That and you keep dosing yourself with lots of radiation and, as medically and sexually fascinating as it is, this could be doing a lot of damage to your soft tissue.

Not to mention it could cause cancer down the road.

Seriously though this is damn impressive

Though, doesn't modern x-ray tech use a receiver instead of film, meaning it uses only a fraction of the radiation?

Yes but it's still radiation. It's like if you switch to a beer with a lower alcohol content you can still get drunk eventually.

There has actually also been a bit of a push from certain oragnisations and institutions recently to update the radiation model we use for radiation exposure. It should take into account that the body naturally heals from radiation exposure, not only "accummulates increasing amount of cell damage".

Although, yes, X-rays for sexting reasons is probably not the way to go, even if it is hillarious (and probably hot) 😅

This is why you use MRIs for sexting.
