Let’s face it, since sexting is basically only discussed in scandalous news stories, it’s gotten a bad rap. But what if we told you that sexting among consenting adults has many benefits? A new study presented at the American Psychological Association proves that the couples who sext together stay together—because they’re having the best sex!
In a survey that asked 870 participants aged 18 to 82 about their sexting habits, a staggering 82 percent of the people reported sexting within the last year. And the adults who engaged in consensual sexting were happier sexually and with their relationship in general. The psychologists who led the study think this is because sexting is a form of communication that benefits both men and women: men prefer visual stimuli while women respond to the positive reinforcement of knowing that they’re desired. The psychologists are hopeful that with more research into the benefits of sexting, it could eventually be used in couple’s therapy to promote more communication and intimacy between partners. As one researcher said, “sexting can be good.”
