Emily C Stasko, a doctoral candidate in psychology from Drexel University say that sexting is known as a bad habit, sexual plecehan, until the introduction about sex is wrong. Whereas for adults, sexting is not like that.
"During research about sexting is intended for adolescents or young adults. We would like to see and take a new side of sexting and its effect on adult intimate relationships," said Stasko, quoted by CNN, Wednesday (08/12/2015).
An online survey conducted by the Women's Health Psychology Lab Drexel University, said that in contrast to adolescents who do sexting for fun or out of curiosity, sexting in adults is closely related to the security of or satisfaction in the relationship that is being undertaken.
Of the 870 participants aged 18 to 82 years, 88 percent of them admitted to sending sexual messages or images at least one time. In fact, 82 percent of them admitted to sexting active within the past year.
Photo telangjang, seductive messages, and photos with a pair of underwear be the object most often transmitted when sexting. Even some couples able to write detailed and explicit about sexual activity.
In the adult partner who has a strong commitment to their relationship, often sexting did not affect the partner satisfaction. But for a mature couple who have recently started exploration to already serious but not yet committed, sexting is closely related to satisfaction.
Plus Stasko said sexting has more influence on men than women. In a sense, the man who would more often initiate sexting than women, and men are also more satisfied after doing sexting.
"Because it is not true that sexting is a bad habit, it may be true for adolescents, but not for adults. In adults, sexting can be a form of sexual relationship romantic," he concluded
