Would you like to help improve the world’s understanding of this community and those in it?

We are academic researchers from Whitman College who specialize in studying sexual cultures and communities from a sex positive position. We are conducting survey research with trans porn viewers to better understand what attracts people to the genre, who the primary consumers are, and how trans porn viewership is related to understanding and acceptance of trans people.

This is one of the first studies to ever be conducted on the topic of trans porn. We are coming at this from a sex-positive, non-pathologizing framework. We want it to be a positive experience for the community, one that might lead to trans porn being better understood and taken more seriously by the general public.

You will also be asked questions about your porn viewing habits, values, relationship preferences, experiences with other trans porn viewers, and some individual characteristics. The survey takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.

Anyone who is 18+ years old and intentionally views any kind of porn where transgender persons are part of the sexual activity (even just occasionally) would be appropriate for the survey.

The survey is hosted through Qualtrics. All surveys are anonymous. We do not collect IP addresses or other tracking information.

If you have any questions, please feel free to message us at this account, reply to this message, or email the principal investigator at wakefiec@whitman.edu. This project has been approved by the Whitman College Institutional Review Board for ethics in research.

Prior to posting Chris did ask for approval to place this here and I've communicated with him to make sure the agenda is education and research.
Please do go and complete the survey, it's not a catch or a hoax but genuine to help understand trans erotica and how it relates to those who use it.

I will be posting this on GroobySauce.com and the Grooby sites soon,.
