10 Reasons Twitter Is Sexier Than Facebook [INFOGRAPHIC]

It's no secret people behave differently, depending on the social network. Sometimes it's the audience you're speaking to. Sometimes it's the people you know are following your every move (hi, mom).

The differences are especially apparent in regard to sex. In anticipation of Valentine's Day, marketing agency Euro RSCG surveyed 1,000 U.S. adults who use either Twitter or Facebook daily. The agency discovered where people talk about sex, and whether they identify themselves as "sexy" or "sexually adventurous."

The survey also explored how tweeters and Facebookers perceive themselves sexually in relation to others. On the whole, Twitter users appear to be more consumed with sex than their Facebook counterparts.

While the sample size of this survey is relatively small, anecdotally, you might find these results ring true. I have a working, unscientific theory -- that people shy away from flirting and sex talk on Facebook because they are connected to family and hometown friends within that space. Twitter can be a more anonymous place, especially since it still lags behind Facebook in terms of true mainstream adoption.
