Texting Improves Your Sex Life?
from the the-numbers-say-so dept
Ah, more studies. A new study in the UK shows how people there use SMS text messaging - and apparently, they're quite addicted to it. They found a number of people who said they would give up chocolate or TV in order to keep text messaging (a completely useless stat, if you ask me). The study also found that 75% use text messaging to flirt, with 25% saying it made them feel "more confident and witty". 50% use it at some point or another to "talk dirty" (one assumes with a significant other of some sort) - while a third have asked someone out via text. Another 13% have ditched someone that way. Of course, the study was done by "The Dating Channel", so the results might not be a fair representation of what people use text messaging for. I also have to take issue with the title of the article, since it's not clear that text messaging actually does anything to improve your sex life.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
