HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve has revealed the results of a new survey asking the question, “Have you ever 'sexted' someone?”
"Sexting, or the sending and receiving of sexually explicit photos, messages or videos on mobile devices, is a trend that doesn’t seem to be going away," said a rep.
The most common answer, given by 42% of respondents, was "Yes." This is in contrast to a similar survey Adam & Eve conducted in 2011. In that survey, 17% of respondents admitted to having sexted.
In 2022, 46% of respondents said they did not sext, compared with 56% in 2011. Finally, 12% of those polled preferred not to answer in 2022, compared with 2% in 2011.
“Sexting can be a fun, flirty way to let your significant other know you are thinking of them during the day or when you are separated by distance,” said Dr. Jenni Skyler, resident sexologist at Adam & Eve. “As a method of foreplay, sexting can set the mood and let your partner know exactly what’s on your mind. I encourage sexting participants to remember that naughty photos and fantasies don’t take the place of consent or communication.”
The web-based survey of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, conducted by an independent company, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.
