Those who use more emojis have more sex, study says

[TexasTowelie]

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is an emoji worth?

Perhaps a really good sex life.

According to a pair of studies conducted by The Kinsey Institute (yeah, that one), texters who used emojis more often tended to have more dates, more romance, and more sex.

Both studies, published in the online journal PLOS ONE, surveyed single Americans about whether they used emojis when texting potential dates and then asked about their sex and dating life.

The first study — of 5,327 people ages 18-94 — found that 28% regularly used emojis, with 2.6% using at least one in every text and 2.5% using more than one in every text.

6. I was thinking the same thing

I don't need a study to tell me that the amount of time someone spends on the internet is inversely proportional to the amount of sex they're having.

People who converse with human beings in person have far more sex than people who converse over the internet.

8. Interesting

"The first study — of 5,327 people ages 18-94 — found that 28% regularly used emojis, with 2.6% using at least one in every text and 2.5% using more than one in every text."

I'm guessing the most common one used for 94 year olds is this one -
