Infographic: The Sexting Habits of Single Americans

How many American adults are sending and receiving sext messages? And what’s happening with of those sexts we’re exchanging anyway?

The results of this study reveal that sexting is a very common behavior and that, while there’s a widespread expectation that people will keep sexts private, a whole lot of them are being shared.
