Love to use emojis? If you answered "yes," there's a good chance you're having more sex than most.
A new study published by the Public Library of Science (PLOS) finds that those who incorporate emojis in communication with potential romantic/sexual partners have more opportunities for various sexual activities. The study's conclusion statement reads,
"...our research suggests that emoji use may provide a reasonable proxy for expressing affect and may provide a useful aid in self-disclosure and building intimacy. As a result, using emojis with potential romantic and sexual partners may in turn lead to more face-to-face opportunities to assess compatibility and attraction.
