THE sending of sexually explicit text messages, photographs or videos – sexting - is more common among humans than other animals, a new study has confirmed.
A team from the University of Dundee found that while 92% of teenagers aged 14-18 admitted to having received a sexually explicit text in the last 12 months, only 3% of juvenile gibbons said the same.
The figure was even lower among rainbow trout (2.2%) but slightly higher among cheetahs, gazelle, hermit crabs and manatees.
Dr Leo Waldhorf, from the university's Department of Studies, said: “These findings show us two things.
“Firstly, that sexting is primarily an activity conducted by primates, and humans in particular; and secondly, that we have far too much time on our hands.”
