Wanna Have More Sex? Start Using Emojis

Emojis are everywhere these days, because god forbid anyone express themselves with words. There is some incredibly positive news about emoji use today, however, as a new survey conducted by Match.com shows that people who use them have more active sex lives than those who don't. That must account for my dry spell.

According to Time Magazine (link below), Match.com conducted a survey of single people who were not currently using their services, and the overwhelming trend was that the people who used the little picture messaging icons had voracious sexual appetites which they sate on the regular.

“It turns out that 54% of emoji users had sex in 2014 compared to 31% of singles who did not,” Dr. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist at Rutgers University who helped lead the study, tells TIME. And the more emojis singles used, the more sex they tended to have, as illustrated by Match’s handy emoji-to-intercourse graph:

According to the data, released Wednesday, these statistics held true for men and women in the 20s, 30s and 40s.

And, food for thought, women who use kiss-related emojis have an easier time achieving orgasms with a familiar partner. That may be because emoji users cared more about finding partners who consider communication a desirable trait.

That last line reeks of false equivalency to me. I get that a picture's worth a thousand words, but I think writing "I want you to make me cum" in a text message carries more weight than whatever this means...

Then again, what the fuck do I know?
