I performed a few Google searches on Snapchat. I was very surprised to see the fanaticism around it being used by young people for Sexting alone. The above article paints a much different picture.

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'"

#7It seems to reason that people who use SnapChat for sexting are doing so to hide the fact that they're sexting, so they might be less likely to admit to it (even on an anonymous survey). Someone who uses text messaging may feel less compelled to hide it at all. This would be especially true for kids (under 18) since you also ask the age on the survey.
Not sure how big a role this might actually play in the results.

#8No way I'm trusting this informal survey unless they have a plausible, data-backed explanation for the supposed huge gender disparity in sexting.
The only halfway plausible explanation is that the 3.4% of men who are gay or bi all sext with each other. In other words, a large number of the respondents lied and the data is invalid.
That said, anecdotal evidence (the people I talk do every day) strongly indicates that people are in fact occasionally using Snapchat for other things than sexting

We only surveyed respondents 18+ for this survey. We agree kids under 18 would have been more likely to lie about this type of behavior.

Possibly the men are all sexting with the same women.
