Web BDSM Sex Research Questionnaire PDF

BDSM/Sex Research
Welcome to the largest and most detailed survey yet

performed of BDSM practices
Please read both pages of the following carefully before proceeding. This will save you having to ask questions as you
complete the questionnaire.
To date, there have been very few thorough academic surveys of BDSM (Bondage & Discipline, Dominance &
Submission, & Sadism & Masochism) practitioners. We intend to change that with this survey. The results will provide
anyone interested in this area of sexual expression with useful, accurate information about many aspects of BDSM
practitioners. By completing the questionnaire, you will be helping establish this accurate picture of who does BDSM, how,
and why. To ensure statistical accuracy, wed like to have well over 1,000 completed questionnaires.
It will require approximately one and a half to two hours of your time to complete the 44 pages of the questionnaire. We
know that this is a significant commitment on your part, but then no one has taken quite such a detailed snapshot of the
BDSM communities and sub-cultures before. We feel that it is important to get this research right and that a detailed
questionnaire is what is needed to achieve that.
This questionnaire may also be completed on the World-Wide Web by visiting http://BDSM.SexResearch.org. Also, if
youd prefer to do the questionnaire on your computer, a database version of the questionnaire should be available soon
from the web site.
This is an anonymous survey (which means that we will not gather any information from your answers that could track
your answers back to you), so we encourage you to be honest with your replies.
Whos behind the research?

Trevor Jacques is the principal author of On The Safe Edge: A Manual For SM Play, the cordinator of the Safer SM
Education Project of the AIDS Committee of Toronto, and a frequent speaker on BDSM. Hes been helped on the project
by a professor of forensic psychiatry at a Toronto university.
Confidentiality
Please note that this is a confidential questionnaire. No-one will be able to see your name or address, because you will
not provide that information directly or indirectly. On this written version of this questionnaire, we record no information
about your exact location or identity. This way, there is no way for us to trace your answers back to you after you have
completed the questionnaire, so we urge you to be as accurate and thorough as possible with your responses.
Other ways you can help this research

If you are the editor of a BDSM magazine or a representative of a BDSM organization (such as the club secretary or
communications representative), you can help make this an even better survey. If you could distribute copies of the
questionnaire to members of your BDSM organization who are not on the Internet, that would be a great help. If you could
make mention of our survey and ways to contact us in your magazine or club newsletter, that would help a lot, too. Please
contact Trevor Jacques (Trevor@SexResearch.org) before you distribute copies or do an editorial. Thanks.
Thank you
We understand that filling out this questionnaire completely requires a significant commitment from you. Thank you for
your help with this research. If you have any questions about the research, please contact Trevor Jacques at one of the
locations on the next page.

Who should complete this questionnaire

The people we would like to answer this questionnaire are past and current practitioners of any form of BDSM. If you feel
you have some interest in practising BDSM, but have not yet explored your interest, we need your answers, too. If you are
attracted to any of the following activities and/or rles in your adult play, youd be a good volunteer for this research
(theyre in no particular order): bondage, discipline, pain, domination, submission, sadism, masochism, restraint, rope,
handcuffs, whips, floggers, watersports, leather, rubber, latex, doctor/patient play, baby/parent play, scat, master,
mistress, servant, slave, dog, top, bottom, electrical play, rough sex, fetish, BDSM, B&D, adult baby, French maid,
mistress, forced cross-dressing, daddy, boy, nanny, smoking fetish, piercing, tattooing, branding, corsets, uniforms,
shoe/boot fetish. If none of these things are fun for you, you should not answer the questionnaire.
We are looking for people new to the scene as well as people who are very experienced, because its important for us to
have as wide a sample as possible.
You must be prepared to answer fully and honestly some intensely personal and detailed questions about your BDSM and
sexual practices. It is, as they say, all in a good cause.
Who should NOT complete this questionnaire

If you have no interest in practising BDSM for emotional or erotic pleasure, please do not complete this questionnaire.
If you have fetish interests only, but no interest in bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, or masochism,
please do not complete this questionnaire. Thank you.
Printing the Questionnaire

Simply print this .pdf file. Please do not give copies of this .pdf file, or the printed version of it, to people who should not
complete this questionnaire (see above paragraph). Thanks.
Filling Out the Questionnaire

If you decide to fill out the questionnaire, you will be expected to answer all the questions and you must answer them fully
and honestly. That is why this questionnaire is designed to be anonymous. Your honest responses will ensure that our
research continues to be valid. If you do not wish to proceed and you were given a printed version of the questionnaire,
please give it back to the person who gave it to you. Thank you.
We felt it was necessary to make this questionnaire comprehensive and detailed, since we doubt such a thorough survey
will be done again for many years. Youll be helping to make it thorough, too. Wed rather gather too much information
than discover too late that we forgot to ask an important question. Once you start, please continue to the end. It will
probably take about an hour and a half to two hours for you to answer all the questions. Please work through them one at
a time, reading each question fully before answering it. Please do not go back to change your answers
When you feel that none of the possible answers we give you are quite right for your situation, please choose the one
closest to your situation. In some cases, we start a question with If you are. In these cases you may leave the answer
blank if you do not fall into that category. For example, if a question starts with If you are attracted to the opposite sex, do
not answer the question if you are not attracted to the opposite sex, but do answer it if you are heterosexual (straight) or
bisexual.

in a sexual relationship with no current BDSM or emotional relations with anyone. Equally, if you are in or have had one
