Approximately 75% of individuals in committed relationships report having engaged in sexting.
While the exact percentage varies depending on the study and population surveyed, research indicates that sexting is a relatively common behavior within couples. A study found that 88% of participants reported ever having sexted, with 75% saying they did so within a committed relationship. Another 43% reported sexting in casual relationships. These numbers suggest that sexting is not limited to casual encounters but is also prevalent within more established partnerships.
It's important to note that these figures represent self-reported data, and the actual percentage may be higher or lower due to factors like social desirability bias (where people underreport behaviors they perceive as negative). Furthermore, the definition of "sexting" can vary, impacting the reported prevalence.
