This shouldn’t come as a surprise to many of you, but if it does then you really need to get out of your parent’s basement and get some. Sure, the kids these days use SMS to cheat on tests and see what their homies are up to for the night, but texting for sex is bigger than we thought. Why do you think I have the Sidekick3? To keep up on my CG e-mails? No. I make use of the cheap unlimited data plan to booty call my shorties when I need to get a piece. OK, not really, but I do drunk-text quite a bit. I know you do too, so don’t act like you don’t.
A recent poll conducted by About.com tells us that 17 percent use text messages to ‘arrange sex encounters,’ while 28 percent used it to communicate with family members. I’d hate to mix up a text there. Keeping in touch with your friends takes the cake with 32 percent while non-sex related texts between lovers was limited to 15 percent.
I think texting for sex is a lot bigger than this poll might lead you to believe. A quick search for a funny image for this story on Google led me to this interesting article that was in NY Mag. It’s bigger than you think. What say ye?
