SMS sex addicts?

From a look at email dating and mobile phone flirting:
According to one serial SMS dater, Amber*, a 32-year-old administrative co-ordinator, "Nothing beats a hot little text to get the senses burning." Likewise, nothing is worse than the sinking feeling that comes with a blank screen or the smug tone of the "You have no messages" recording on your voicemail. The sad truth is that many hard users live in danger of being defined by the number of texts or emails we receive daily. We've become so used to the relentless onslaught of beeps and pings that we fall into a demoralised heap when we don't get our fix; often turning our mobile or PC on and off just to check that it's working and shouting demands to friends to test-text or email us - just in case.
