Two teams of scholars (not me, Dr. Eli) — one from the University of Antwerp (Belgium) and the other from Northern Illinois University in the US — are collaborating on a study of the international and cultural differences in practitioners of BDSM. If you might be a good fit for this study, please check out their information below.
In recent years, researchers have focused increasing attention on BDSM, discovering that a substantial minority (or even a majority) of people fantasize about or participate in BDSM and that BDSM activities produce increases in couple bonding and measurable altered states of consciousness. However, no research to date has explored international and cultural differences in BDSM interests and practices.
In a joint effort between the University of Antwerp (Belgium) and Northern Illinois University (USA) we are conducting a study to explore how nationality and culture impact BDSM fantasies and activities, and how BDSM interests are related to other types of sexual fantasies.
The study is completely anonymous and takes about 25-30 minutes to complete. The questions will be about yourself, your interests, and your experiences. The survey will be open until the end of February, 2022.
