11 percent of all sexts end up sent to the wrong recipient

Sexters beware: A new poll finds that your sexy messages may end up in the wrong hands if you're not careful enough.



If you're into mobile, virtual sexy time, we have no judgment with what you want to do in your private life. But according to a poll conducted by United Kingdom-based mobile news site Recombu, 11 percent of sexts are sent to unintended recipients. Looks like too many of you are getting too caught up in the moment!



The poll, which surveyed approximately 2,000 adults, showed that 47 percent of responders sext on a regular basis. About 48 percent of sexters are female, and 45 percent are male (we're guessing the rest means undisclosed gender or transgendered). However, the numbers show that males seem to get more heated and eager than their female counterparts. About one in 10 sexts from male senders get accidentally shipped to someone it wasn't meant for, while females stats stand at one in 20. What's worse: 16 percent of men have had their sexy messages end up in a family member's inbox while just 8 percent of females suffer the same embarrassment.
