people also lie, when you just sent a sex picture and they ask you if you juste sent that, I'm incline to think you will say you didn't.

Personally i don't trust their stats, it's lower than the average for text messages, which really does not make any sense to me.

OP here. Thanks for the feedback. We also asked respondents about sexting over text messaging, and got a similar rate (26%) to other studies about sexting[1]. Of course, as we note, this is entirely self-reported behavior and not observed behavior.

"We did a survey where we asked 1000 respondents about whether they lied in survey responses. 100% answered 'no'"

Well, that actually might be the case.

More interesting would be if they answered, "yes"

The male/female ratio of sexting is interesting.
