AB Background: Within the context of the widespread use of technologies by adolescents,the objectives of this study were to identify the perpetrators of intimate partner cyberstalking(IPCS) in adolescents; to analyze the relationship between IPCS and gender, age, sexting behaviors,pornography consumption, and ambivalent sexism; and to investigate the influence of the studyvariables as predictors of IPCS and determine their moderating role. Methods: Participants were 993Spanish students of Secondary Education, 535 girls and 458 boys with mean age 15.75 (SD = 1.47).Of the total sample, 70.3% (n = 696) had or had had a partner. Results: Boys perform more sexting,consume more pornographic content, and have more hostile and benevolent sexist attitudes thangirls. However, girls perpetrate more IPCS than boys. The results of the hierarchical multipleregression indicate that hostile sexism is a predictor of IPCS, as well as the combined effect of Gender  Pornography and Benevolent Sexism   Sexting. Conclusions: it is essential to implement sexualaffective education programs in schools in which Information and Communication Technologies(ICT) are incorporated so that boys and girls can experience their relationships, both offline andonline, in an egalitarian and violence-free way
