alt.sex.bondage 1992 official survey

....................... The Official Results Of ..........................
................ The 2nd Annual Unofficial Bondage Survey ................
Disclaimer stuff: Results of this survey should be used for
entertainment purposes only. Conclusions drawn from the survey are
restricted to the group of persons participating in this survey.
Factual inferences as to the general population should not be made.
Portions of the survey and the results cannot be published or
reproduced without written consent of the author (i.e. me! ;)
Once again, I'm fairly pleased with the results. This year's survey
brought out more people (85 vs. 67 last year) and aLOT more females
(34 vs. 8 last year). Surprisingly, less men responded this year (51
vs. 59). A sincere thank-you to all the lurkers who sent in a response.
Some people asked me, based on the geographical question (#3) if I
would act as a matchmaker? Sorry folks, I believe I'll pass and
leave that up to the alt.personals & alt.personals.bondage
newsgroups. 2nd note: I was a bit hesistant to reveal gender
information when reporting the geographical data, fearing possible
harassment situations. Taking the anonymous services into
consideration, I decided to go ahead and reveal the complete data
and let nature take its course via "anon" forwarding. Thus, the
following reiteration: I *WILL NOT* reveal any respondants addresses
or personal information! So, if you're hunting for that "other" in
your locale, please post your mating calls to the personals columns. ;)
As promised, I *will* be posting the results of last year's survey. It
dealt with more of a technical subject (who's doing what with what and
to whom), whereas this year's survey tended to show just how we are
going about doing it, and how much we are doing (something like that :)
I'm seriously considering putting together The First Annual Unofficial
Alt.Sex Survey for next month. By all means, send in some questions.
--- enjoy !
