People who send ‘sexts’ – sexually explicit messages, photographs or videos with their phone – tend to have dark personality traits, a study reveals.
An international team of researchers conducted surveys of more than 6,000 participants across 11 countries, including Ireland, Italy, Russia, Turkey and the US.
They linked the habit of sending sexts to two personality traits that make up the famous ‘Dark Triad’ psychological model – narcissism and Machiavellianism.
