I think it's prob slightly biased towards kinky people, but it wasn't primarily shared across fetlife. Most of the responses came from viral videos of people sharing their results on Tiktok.

...Which makes me doubt the honesty of their answers. TikTok is a platform designed to encourage show-offs and attention seekers. "Oh me? I'd fuck anything! I've done the Karma Sutra with my house, but it's, like, sooo boring and vanilla"
have you tried contacting onlyfans and other sites to integrate a pop-up ad that just randomly loads asking people to just answer one question and then you could maybe gather information that way? similar to those quick YouTube surveys that pop up instead of ads sometimes?

You could maybe work out a discount deal or even see if maybe your data could be useful for their business and you could reach out to other sites like cam or video sites.

Maybe there could be a sexual census where all porn sites for one week a year do a major push to get people to take the full survey, maybe giving people free stuff for the effort.

Very interesting, thanks! I had heard that “kinktok” was pretty big, but I assume the streams cross on TikTok a lot more than in dedicated kink spaces. There’s still a bias towards people who are open about sex, but I am not sure that group is actually any less vanilla than people who keep it private.

I saw a bunch of your older surveys and was impressed at the quality of the questions, but the places I saw them were always kink-adjacent, and I am glad you are getting a lot more reach.
