How to disable text read receipts

So I'm pretty bad at texting back in a timely manner and I only just realized that a lot of my friends get read receipts from our texts. Is there a way I can precent my phone from sending read receipts?
I have a galaxy s5 and it looks like there is only an option for requesting delivery reports, but no option to block sending any read receipts.
Any help?

You got me excited thinking that i can request read receipts too
MMS and SMS on android doesnt support the sending or receiving of read receipts. If you used a 3rd party messenger like kik or whatsapp it would be a different story.
If youre using standard text, no one knoes youre reading their shit

i know you can turn this off on iphones, but i wasnt aware that it was available on other operating systems.
What I really want, is to be able to disable the function on a person by person basis. My boss used to only communicate via text, and its one thing to dodge a call, its another to ignore a text, that she knows you got.

This is exactly why I am asking. One of my bosses texts me a lot and I usually forget to respond till hours later and then he's all pissy. As far as I'm aware he's using android. He doesn't have an iphone. So he's probably using a 3rd party app? How do I block that?
