A new study shows that people who use emojis have better and more frequent sex.
According to a new study by Match.com with the help of Dr. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist at Rutgers University, people who use emojis are getting laid more.
The study surveyed both women and men in their 20s, 30s and 40s, concluded that 54% of emoji users had sex in 2014 compared to 31% of singles who did not.
Additionally, they found that women who use kiss-related emojis have an easier time achieving orgasm, which seems kind of oddly specific. Emoji use also increased the chances of people getting married.
But, it begs the question: Why do emojis make for better relationships and sex?
It’s notoriously difficult to read tone in texts and emails, but emojis can bridge the gap. “[Emoji users] want to give their texts more personality,” says Fisher. “Here we have a new technology that absolutely jeopardizes your ability to express your emotion… there is no more subtle inflection of the voice … and so we have created another way to express emotions and that is the emoji.” [TIME]
