People who constantly think about sex are more likely to stuff their messages full of emoji.
A survey of 5,600 online daters also revealed the winky face emoji is the weapon of choice for both men and women when flirting with a date. Meanwhile, it found that those who bury their sexual desires rarely use emoji.
Match.com’s ‘Singles in America Survey’ found that between 36% and 40% of people who think about sex several times a day use more than one emoji in every text they send. Another group of slightly less sex-crazed survey participants aged between 18 and 70 said they regularly use emoji, but not in every message. Individuals who only think about sex once a month said they use emoji the least.
The survey found that 53% of men and women favour the winky emoji, with the smiley face the second most popular. This emoji was used by 41% of women to flirt, compared with 33% of men.
