A new study published in the journal Sexes revealed why women love sexting. X-rated texts stimulate the prefrontal and temporal parts of the brain responsible for processing emotions. Researchers explain that women want more than just to watch people fuck—they want to understand the buildup of emotions connected to a sexual encounter to get them horny.
“Unlike erotic videos, reading allows you to add or remove elements based on your preferences, creating a personalized fantasy,” said the study’s authors. Women are also just generally less visually stimulated than men, which is why men are more likely to watch porn while women are more likely to read romance novels or listen to erotic audio. “When you engage in healthy sexual communication, you’re giving yourself the permission to express your sexual self and that’s great for your sexual self-esteem,” researchers say.
