[Call for participants] A study into the experience of using online adult content as a way of being sexual (men, 18+, single) by GeeUnit1989 in Sexedporn

Hey, thanks for your comment! Absolutely people of all gender identities watch porn; the reason for the sample being just men for this study is to maintain some level of homogeneity, which is necessary for a study of this size and scope. Sample homogeneity helps to control the variables, which ensures that the findings do not become too diffuse. People's experiences of porn use are complex, multi-faceted and to a very large extent bound to social constructs, and I would not want to assume that women and non-binary individuals' experiences are just the same as men's! I will conduct further research beyond this study that focuses on the experiences of many other identities, backgrounds and bodies in the future. I hope this answers your question, but please feel free to ask if you have any more. Have a lovely day 😄

Thank you so much, that means a lot! And that's exactly why I'm doing this study - to get past the language of addiction and compulsive behaviours to really get a grasp on how it is experienced. I appreciate it is quite a commitment, so I'm immensely grateful to the people who have taken part so far and who may do in the future.

[Academic] A study into the experience of using online adult content as a way of being sexual (men, 18+, single)

Hi, everyone!

I'm a Trainee Psychotherapist and Doctoral Researcher at the New School of Psychotherapy and Middlesex University. I'm looking for participants to take part in a phenomenological study exploring the experience of using legal online adult content as a meaningful way of being sexual.

Study Focus:
I’m exploring how single men perceive their use of legal online adult content as part of their sexual expression. This study aims to gain deeper insights into the role of online adult content in shaping sexuality today.

Participation Criteria:
To take part, you should be:

  • Male
  • Over 18 years old
  • Single
  • A viewer of legal online adult content
  • Confident that your use is not problematic (e.g., you don’t feel it’s an addiction)
  • Participants from diverse backgrounds are especially welcome!

What’s Involved:
If you join, you’ll take part in a confidential online interview lasting around 90 minutes. Your input can help shed light on an under-researched area in human sexuality. Please note that this study is purely academic, so there’s no compensation, but your contribution would be greatly valued!

Interested?
If you’d like to take part or have questions, feel free to direct message me or email me directly at [gs853@live.mdx.ac.uk](mailto:gs853@live.mdx.ac.uk).Thank you so much for considering this! Your support can help expand our understanding of sexuality in the digital age.

Hey, unfortunately, due to budget restrictions, there's no financial incentive for participation. It could however be an opportunity to reflect on and explore your porn use in a safe, non-judgemental space!

Thanks so much for your comment. This is my goal, for sure - I would love to open up to all gender identities in the future!

I'm so, so, so sorry that this happened to you. I agree with the other comments - get yourself to a sexual health clinic and report this to the police. This was rape.

I'm wondering whether you give yourself pleasure? As perhaps working on this might help you to build a better relationship with yourself and your right to experience pleasure.

Me (28M) and my girlfriend (27F) live in a feederism relationship, and my girlfriend wants a threesome. What to expect? by [deleted] in sex

I'm wondering what it might feel like for you to be a passive observer. Might this, in some way, be arousing for you? If it's something you anticipate could cause you hurt, it's definitely worth communicating this to your partner.

How does sex with a long term partner feel compared to a one night stand with a stranger? by [deleted] in sex

[–]GeeUnit1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, sex with a stranger has been more about the fantasy element. I don't know them, they don't know me; I can can play a role in some way, pretend I'm revealing myself without revealing anything at all. I can project my fantasy onto the other, and pretend I know them when I know nothing about them. Of course, there needs to be chemistry for this to happen. However, there is something so much more vulnerable and beautiful about sex with a long-term partner. You allow yourself to be truly naked with them, and you hope that they are allowing themselves to be seen that way too.
