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.

Dr. Elisabeth Sheff, PhD, CASA, CSE

One of a handful of global experts on polyamory and the foremost international expert on children in polyamorous families, Dr. Elisabeth Sheff has studied gender and
families of sexual minorities for the last 16 years. Sheff’s television appearances include CNN, and the National Geographic, and she has given more than 20 radio, podcast, print, and television interviews with sources from Radio Slovenia to National Public Radio, the Sunday London Times to the Boston Globe and Newsweek. By emphasizing research methodology and findings in her discussions, Dr. Sheff presents the kind of public intellectualism that encourages audience members to think critically regarding gender, sexualities, and families.
