It doesn’t take lots of texts for twenty-somethings to get into bed with other people

No sex without text

No sex without text.

It appears that the younger generations are no longer dilly dallying when it comes to sex, according to new research.

Sexting is getting far more direct and to-the-point as apps like Tinder rise in popularity, with some twenty-somethings confessing that it can take them less than 10 text messages from the start of a conversation to some slap-and-tickle between the sheets.

These guys must be the Casanova of the sexting world but it appears that statistics back up these claims, 59% of adults ages 20 to 26 have sent a sext, and 64% have received one.

Apparently we’ve reached the stage where, according to Statistic Brain, more than half of all adults aged 20-26 have sent or received a sext.

“The younger the dater is, I’ve found the shorter the number of messages get exchanged prior to arranging a date or hookup,” clinical psychologist Dr Belisa Vranich told Mashable.

There you go, if you’re fond of sending texts as opposed to calling someone directly then you might be in luck.
