Sharing Photos Online Is A Way Of Dating

Sharing Photos Online Is A Way Of Dating.
A original observe finds that the practice of "sexting" - sending salacious texts or naked photos over the Internet - is now a key tool for Americans bent on infidelity. Sexting, which notoriously back former Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner his job, is "alive and well," said sociologist Diane Kholos Wysocki, the study's result in author. In fact it's a neck of the woods of the whole extra-marital mating ritual, according to Wysocki, who said adulterous interactions that begin online seem to follow a scheduled pattern.

And "People meet, then they send pictures, then they send naked pictures, then they proceed and at meet if they find that they're compatible". The study, based on a survey of almost 5,200 users of a website loyal to extra-marital dating called ashleymadison.com, doesn't say anything about the habits of the American folk in general.

And, as Kholos Wysocki acknowledged, its value is also limited because it only includes those relatives who volunteered to take part and were already using the site. "Any time you get a group of people on the Internet, we can't stipulate it's representative," said Kholos Wysocki, a professor of sociology, University of Nebraska at Kearney. However, she said the appraisal does offer insight into why people choose to hamper married but still have affairs.

As of a year ago, the "ashleymadison dot com" site, whose motto is "Life is short. Have an affair," claimed more than 6 million members. Working with the site, Kholos Wysocki in 2009 posted a examination for members with 68 questions.

The results appear in a current online outflow of the journal Sexuality & Culture. Those who responded tend to be upscale (with a median proceeds of about $86000), mostly married (64 percent) and highly educated (about 70 percent attended college, and 20 percent had advanced degrees). More than 6 out of every 10 respondents were male.
