Hello sexy people! My friend and colleague, Georgie Blewett, is conducting a research study on Stigma and Belonging Amongst Kinky People as part of her studies at the University of St. Andrews, and of course I thought of all of you! If you have a few minutes and would like to add your voice to this important research on how our identities as kinky folks impact the rest of our lives, please read on for the study details and follow the link below to complete the survey.

Thank you! <3

Project: Stigma and Belonging Amongst Kinky People

This study is being conducted as part of my, Georgie Blewett, research study in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St Andrews.

We invite you to participate in a research project understanding perceptions of stigma, identity, and well-being in the BDSM (Bondage & Discipline, Domination & Submission, and Sadomasochism) community. In this study you will receive an anonymous questionnaire about your BDSM practices, experiences of stigma and aspects of your well-being that should take no longer than 30 minutes to complete.  The BDSM community is a severely under-researched group, and I would like to provide more insight and understanding on the experience of being kinky.

You will have the chance to win a $50 Amazon voucher if you are in the US, UK, or Canada, or else direct money deposit if you are outside these regions, which incur a small fee.

If you are interested, please click the link to the questionnaire below. You will then be given a Participant Information Sheet that further details my research before being asked whether you consent to participate. If you have any questions, please use the contact details below.
