Once brushed Weibo, I saw a well-known blogger post late at night, so that the majority of male fans should no longer give her private messages about their own Ding Ding photos
After reading the comments under that Weibo, I learned for the first time that this kind of thing is much more common than expected.
After all, our public account dialog box also often receives all kinds of surprise small gifts...
For boys, sending intimate photos to each other is not a unique habit of today's human beings, but the digital media era has made it easier.
The cat then looked up the data, and studies found that in an intimate relationship that has been established, or in the case of mutual consent, sending explicit messages is a romantic thickener. However, similar to the blogger's experience of passively receiving Tintin photos, is everyone feeling helpless or even angry like her?
Earlier, a study published in the Journal of Sex Research looked at the attitudes of women and gay and bisexual men when they passively received tintin photos on social media.
Here's how the study came about:
The entire study was conducted over the Internet. First, the researchers published an annual cross-sectional study of the attitudes and behaviors of single Americans in a study called "The American Single Population" (SIA). "In the database, singles who meet the requirements of the study are recruited as research subjects through the principle of voluntariness. The study required participants to be at least 18 years old, fluent in English, and single.
Each year, the SIA recruits 5,000 to 6,000 single-person adults from across the United States based on the latest results from the U.S. Census to ensure that the recruiters in the database can represent the U.S. single population.
Due to sampling problems, the study only included women, gay men, and bisexual men, and no heterosexual men were recruited into the study. In the end, 2,343 people (including 2,045 women) were officially selected as research subjects and were surveyed about "sex". The survey counted basic information such as age, gender, sexual orientation, etc. In addition, the following information was collected about the study subjects: the frequency of flirting with the dating partner each day through social media, the number of sexual partners in the past 12 months, how many nudity messages were received from men on social media in the past year, whether they had received tintin photos, whether they had received tintin photos that had not been allowed, and their emotional reactions after receiving tintin photos.
About the emotional reaction after receiving the ding ding photo -
When the data is counted and analyzed, interesting results emerge. The vast majority of women don't feel good!!!
The results of the study show that it is very common for people to receive photos of each other's tintin on social media.
More than half of the study subjects had received dingtin photos from men, including 49.6% of women and 80.5% of men.
More than 90 percent of those who received ding ding photos were sent directly without permission. Women with more sexual partners in the past year are more likely to receive tintin photos.
And when these pictures are received, the attitudes of men and women are very different.
74% of women, regardless of sexual orientation, don't feel good about suddenly receiving a tintin photo. 50% of them felt sick about it, and 46% felt very disrespected.
For gay and bisexual men, the results are markedly different. 85% of them thought it was funny to suddenly receive a tintin photo of the other person on social media.
Of these, 44 percent of men thought it was "entertaining," and 41 percent felt curious and wanted to make a big picture. Only 3% to 14% of people will find this unpleasant.
In conjunction with other relevant studies, the researchers tried to explain why men and women have different attitudes.
One explanation is that men are more inclined to think that this is just a fun interactive game.
Studies have shown that men tend to overestimate women's interest in Tintin, and they do so in order to get "exchanges.".
The data shows that when 51% of men send out their own Tintin photos, they hope that the other party can also send a private photo of themselves;
A further 36% of men wanted the photo to transfer flirting from online to offline.
And if it is not for the purpose of exchange, the male sending out a Tintin photo is also to express: You are my dish.
Researchers believe that a better explanation may be that today's women are more and more afraid to express real emotions in sexual relations, they dare to refuse, dare to say no, and have less tolerance for such disrespected intimate behavior than before – which is also one of the effects of the rise of the ME TOO movement. The data side of this study verifies this, that is, the younger the women, the stronger they express their negative attitudes.
Another explanation is that this is a unique form of sexual harassment in the digital age – the initiative of events is in the hands of men, and women lack control over it; and the lack of control is one of the core elements of X harassment.
Women have a high rate of negative responses to pictures of Tintin they receive, but many men are still happily sending their tintin photos. The act itself may not really be flirting, but rather a declaration of "X power."
When men send out their own tintin photos with desire, they instinctively think that this is his representative, and as soon as the woman sees the picture, he is psychologically defeating the other person: I know you don't want to, but I can still "get" you.
However, this form of sexual harassment is ineffective for gay and bisexual men. Studies have even found that male and female couples prefer to send each other nude photos than male and female couples, and they prefer this as a part of their romantic and X-life.
Cats feel that with the development of digital media, big data, artificial intelligence technology, and gradually changing the way human beings court, the digital age has had a profound impact on people's establishment, development, and handling of intimate relationships, but how to grasp the scale and scale, so that others do not feel threatened, may be the most important point in a healthy X relationship.
So please be polite and social, and don't send a photo ~~
