alt.sex.bondage 1991 official survey



....................... The Official Results Of ..........................
...................  The Unofficial Bondage Survey  ......................

Results of this survey should be used for entertainment purposes
only. Due to the limited response of cross-sections (gender),
conclusions drawn from the survey are restricted to the group of
persons participating in this survey. Inferences as to the general
population should not be made.

Percentages of each response are calculated against the total female
response (8), male (59), and overall (67).

Editor's Note: on a number of responses, answers were stated as "All
of the above" which I found a bit disappointing. I see these as
responses not given serious thought. Sad but true.

Despite my original deadline, some folks snuck in their responses
after my posting earlier this week (naughty naughty!)

I've broken down the responses by a cross section based on gender.
Responses in the cross sections of
"orientation" and "preferred role" are limited in number and the
individual data is not very indicative of any "trends".

Again, I'm fairly pleased with the results. Thanks to all the
lurkers who sent in a response.
                                        enjoy !
