> We wonder why Snapchat first rose to popularity for sexting

There isn't good evidence that sexting was ever the primary use case for Snapchat. This is more of a meme than reality.

Wish I could find the interview where the founder & friends talk about using it to discretely send photos of their genitals to female students.

And given the mindset of him & his fraternity brothers in their emails, this isn't surprising: http://valleywag.gawker.com/fuck-bitches-get-leid-the-sleazy...

Tbh, debauchery and sex are what frats are about. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that's been to a large college. Even at the least, you should have a basic understanding that frats are not representative of normal society.

Many people have been in frats and transitioned to successful careers (and "toned it down.").

I think it took a lot of PR and effort to shed that image.
