"No tonight my love, I have a headache" this may be enough to stop an activity you do not want at a particular time, but it will not save you from sexters.
While there are several publications που διακηρύσσουν ότι οι νεαροί ενήλικες είναι προσκολλημένοι στις χαρές του sexting, μια επικείμενη μελέτη που εξετάζει την πρακτική των sexters στην μετεφηβική ηλικία αλλά και γενικότερα σχέσεις που συχνά εμπλέκονται σε sexting, (με ανταλλαγή μηνυμάτων ή φωτογραφίες), ανακάλυψε ότι πολλές φορές γίνεται για λόγους που δεν έχουν καμία σχέση με έλξη ή με διέγερση.
The research, which will be published in February in the journal Computer in Human Behavior (Computers in Human Behavior), reveals the similarities between sexual behavior online and offline and that many times sexting is done against the will of the other, as stated by Huffington Post.
55% of women surveyed said they had been involved in unwanted sexting, while 48% of men had done the same. These numbers are strikingly similar to previous findings on so-called "submissive sexual activity": A 1994 survey found that 55% of women in America and 35% of Americans were involved in consensual but unwanted sex.
The study's authors argue that "gender role expectations" could be the cause. Men may be more likely to agree to unwanted sexting because it is "relatively easy and does not force them to invest more in a relationship." Women in turn are discouraged from virtual sex because it can not help them achieve the "goals" they want in a relationship, the authors assume.
But what is it that makes them? people feel the need to sext – especially when the evidence data can they be so easily embarrassed if discovered by a third party? Too often someone consents to unwanted sexting because they are trying to flirt, or satisfy a need, or enhance the intimacy of a relationship.
The researchers also found that people who were anxious about their relationships - fearing abandonment by their lovers - were more likely to be sexters.
