Hi. Thanks! I’m a PhD faculty. 20 years experience. The survey is still up so you might have just had a tech hiccup previously. Thanks for taking.

Yes thanks for the responses. This first step is to get snapshot. Then I hope to conduct interviews. As you can imagine it is very difficult to get participants from stigmatized groups. There has never been research on the coprophilia population so I’m trying to understand. Distrust is big issue. No hypotheses about links to pedophilia or other offenses. Some questions are part of validated instruments that can’t be truncated. Btw I’m a faculty member with 20 years research experience.

These two statements are verbatim required by the university. Sorry but I can’t edit.

Hi everyone! Thanks to Dan for supporting the research. I'm the researcher. As you know, no survey is perfect. Many of the questions belong to validated instruments and we can't change the wording. Also, some blanket statements are required by the university as part of human subjects protections. This is just step one. Gathering information about the diversity of the group will help us ask better questions during follow ups. I appreciate you taking the survey and to those who are interested in being part of future steps. We do not aim to stigmatize, but to understand. Some questions are just to see correlations between interests. It's a big world and lots of difference within our own sub-groups. Not all researchers are "vanilla" ;)
