Hello Pervs!
In my sociology class (Human Sexuality 3), I get to write a paper on modern sexual trends. I chose masturbation, since it's one of my favorite hobbies. So I made a short survey on wankinage and distributed it in a few places (like the campus health clinic and such). The response has been underwhelming, so I've asked if I can post it here.
The fine print:
You can answer the survey three different ways. You can (if you wish, and this is NOT required) answer here in the thread. You can copy and paste it into a PM and send it to me through Lit via PM, or you can email it to the Yahoo listed in my profile. I will remove all identifying information, including headers, user names, anything that could be used to identify you before compiling the data. I will be saving the stripped surveys for 3 months after the paper is due. This is only in case I need to go back for some reason to check my work. The paper is due on April 30, so on July 30, all surveys will be deleted and only the final tally will remain as reference for the paper. Your information will not be saved, sold or disseminated to anyone for any reason. The survey closes on February 28th, 2007. The email addy will be disabled at that time. By responding to the survey, you are giving me permission to use all non identifying information that you send me for the research portion of the project.
I'm leaving the option open to answer in the thread, discussion in the thread is encouraged, but I'm asking you to be a grown-up. No finger-pointing, snerking, giggling or anything. To encourage response, I will post my answers here too. Most of the questions after the demographics are simple yes/no questions, with few short answers mixed in.
The goal of the survey is just to get a nice overview of masturbation habits over a broad spectrum of society. Then I'm going to compare it to previous studies, and see how our attitudes and habits have changed over time. For the purpose of the survey, the question are about solitary masturbation only, not mutual masturbation, or masturbation during phone or cyber sex.

The first 4 question are simple demographics.
1. Are you male, female, transgendered or intersexed?
2. How old are you? If you don't wish to share that, please give a ballpark figure. I.E. below twenty, twenties, thirties....
3. What country or region of the world are responding from?
4. Are you currently single, or in a committed relationship?
The actual questions follow here.
5. On average, how many times a week do you masturbate?
6. Does the amount of sex you are having change the frequency of your masturbation?
7. Have your masturbation habits changed over time? Have they increased or decreased as you've grown older?
8. If you are transgendered or intersexed, are you taking hormones to assist in your gender identification? If you are, have your habits changed since you began treatment?
9. Do you fantasize when you masturbate?
10. Do you use fantasy aids, such as erotic literature or movies?
11. Do you always masturbate to orgasm, or do you stop sometimes before climax because your needs have been satisfied without the orgasm?
12. Do you feel that pleasuring yourself is as emotionally fulfilling and physically satisfying as pleasure with a partner?
13. This question is completely optional! Is there anything that you would like to add to the above information?
That's it folks! I tried to keep it short and simple. Thank you for participating.
