Research Survey Tables
We cordially invite you to review some of the data resulting from our comprehensive study on human sexuality (erotic material consumption and preferences, sources of arousal, sexual practices, etc.).
Keep in mind that we are purely gentlemen scientists—pure amateurs—and as such, our work is not formally peer reviewed.
Bon appetit!
