Mark James Taylor, of Barrack Lane, appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood recently.
He admitted the offence and will be sentenced on November 4, after a probation report has been prepared.
Prosecuting advocate Kate Alexander told the court that, on June 4, Taylor had sent a number of messages to a 19-year-old man, encouraging him to engage in sexual relations with him.
Taylor later handed himself in at Ramsey police station, and during an interview, said that he’d taken a gram of cocaine before sending the messages, as well as prescription cannabis, and was disgusted with himself.
Bail has been granted.
