Ever since Adobe introduced the world to their mobile Flash player, it really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Android smartphones have quickly became an outlet for lewd and naughty behavior normally reserved for the PC/webcam. What some news outlets are reporting as an epidemic among teens, the rise of sexting has prompted everything from PSA videos on MTV, to a boom of revenge websites for the scorned lover. Discount website CouponCodes4U recently conducted a “sexy survey” where they polled 2,673 of their users, ages 18 to 30 years old, asking them if they’ve ever participated in this new age of sexting/video sex. Here are those results:
- 57% said they have sent graphic pics via a smartphone
- 31% sent them to a significant other
- 5% sent accidentally to a total stranger.
- Of those that sent graphic photos, 62% were under the influence of alcohol at the time
- 37% of them did it because they missed their significant others, while slightly less than half just did it to impress them
- Nearly one-third of all respondents had phone sex via video chat
- 26% were turned on by it
- 19% consider video sex the next-best thing to actual sex
- 11% say they did it because they’re in a long-distance relationship
Now, I wouldn’t exactly call the results of this “study” as representative of the vast majority of users. A far greater number of subjects would have to be polled. But it is interesting to see that with bigger, better camera sensors and front facing cameras coming equipped on our smartphones, maybe this is directly correlated to the rise of sexting. I, for one, can vouch for receiving a misdirected graphic picture message from someone. Happened to me just the other day. These results ring true for you or any of your friends? You, dirty little Phandroids, you…

How does this have anything to do with android?. Everything this STUDY talked about you can do on and iPhone too except looking at porn online. And if you have an iPhone then you probably think your so hot you just look in the mirror and get off to yourself so you don’t use porn.
Sounds just like me… minus the iPhone O_o
Don’t kid yourself. You can look at porn online with an iphone too. Just not flash. There are porn sites taylored specifically towards iPhone users.
But agreed. People have been sexting and sending NSFW photos since the days of the dumb phone. Front Facing Cameras have been around for while now awell. I’ve had FFCs on devices predating Android and iOS.
Nothing new here.
How does this have to do with Android? How does carrier news have to do with Android? How does smartphone studies in general have anything to do with Android?
It was simply an interesting read about sexting. Sexting is done with phones. Sexting has been made easier with front facing cameras. Android was the first to market (in the US) with a front facing camera. In a way… it has EVERYTHING to do with Android O_o
too bad there is no Penthouse or Playboy digital edition for mobile device :P
You mean like the official Playboy Magazine app on iTunes for the iPhone?

And Steve Jobs said Android is for porn…. Sheesh
Wow I’m loving your choice of image for this article ;) hmm I think I’m gonna go and sext with someone lol
It has everything to do with Android because it’s on phandroid. It has to be relevant
Almost like the problem with playing with people on draw something. someone might draw you a penis or another lewd image. I’m looking at you Chavez 0_o
:X
VPNs and Torrents work pretty well on my phone… Get the job done lol
And 99% of those sent were cock pics.
@ wtpanos: LOL I seriously just did that last night when I couldn’t figure out how to draw the word haha.
My lady and I swap dirty pics all the time. In fact, its usually her idea. Dirty little Phandroid, indeed. ;P
This story had me excited and upright for some porn . . . but when I read it, I sagged into my chair, too limp to get out.
More subjects would not make it much more representative. The sample likely is not representative but not because of random error.
Reminds me of freshmen year, when the class slut sent a picture of her topless to someone, and half the school had it within a week. Funniest week of school ever. Good material for the wank bank too;)
Why there’s only one picture in the article? Where’s the video sample?
What does this have to do with Android? I bet as many people are doing that on iOS I mean by percentage there are not as many iPhones (haha:P). Oh and the people having video “sex” on an iPhone will have a much more grainy quality (0.3 MP cam just sucks but I guess Apples crappy Mac servers can’t handle higher quality or face time will overload them).
Is that MoMo on the front page shot Chris?
yes, that’s me. :P
“A far greater number of subjects would have to be polled.” Hahaha… I see what you did there…
I don’t…
Hm, the only option for sending a picture to a total stranger is “accident”, huh? Guess that’s close enough. /giggety.jpeg
Damn! I was expecting a pic of Chris in this article… What a disappointment.
Check your inbox.. O_o
pretty much :)
Anybody want send me your nude pictures ladies? Video would be a plus!
