Respondents who didn’t describe their relationships as “very committed” said that sexting contributed to higher levels of relationship satisfaction. What’s interesting though, is that adults in “very committed” relationships didn’t think sexting impacted relationship satisfaction.
The findings actually make a lot of sense, and it seems obvious that sexting can really improve your satisfaction in a casual relationship, but as soon as things start getting serious, flirty texts become less important.
In another less-than-shocking revelation, researchers also found that guys associated sexting more strongly with satisfaction in a relationship than women.
