translated from Spanish: Study claims that people who use emojis have more sex

According to the study of the Kinsey Institute the use of the internet and cell phones and their derived languages – such as emojis – are faster and shorter methods of communication to convey affection and desire. In this regard it was concluded in the research that those who add emojis and symbols in their messages are more likely to have a second date, kiss their partners on the first dates and have a greater number of sexual partners. This means that the use of emojis allows people to communicate important emotional information to potential couples, facilitating a successful intimate connection and more romantic and sexual opportunities. Apparently emojis would be supplementing the lack of body expression in online communication, an aspect that is very relevant, so it would have a greater influence when it comes to both sending and correctly interpreting a message. Needless to say that facial expressions and other body language factors are required to develop intimacy with a partner, but as in everyday life there is little face-to-face contact, emojis would be taking the post. In other words, the visual representation of these gestures seems so necessary and meaningful that it would imply greater success in the emotional/emotional aspect, and therefore in access to intimacy.
