Analysis of Non-Human Identity; A survey

[Amelia Nightside]

Hello all. I'm sorry for how random this may seem and even more sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, however I would like to request that you take a look through, respond to and circulate a little project I came up with earlier this morning. Not entirely sure where I"m going with this but it may be useful to someone somewhere, ^_^

That's an awful lot of personal information to give away considering that you don't even know what you are going to do with it...

[wolfvanzandt]

Hmmm....yes. That is an awful lot. For instance, bestality is illegal in many places in the US and the world. I wouldn't suggest that anyone provide information about that over the Internet. A very good idea would be to come up with a research question and then limit a survey to that. Sexuality is a possibility, but it probably needs to be addressed in a rather less "private" manner in a way that would be much more anonymous.

The Werelist rule (one which I fully agree with) is that no information about illegal activities should be shared over the Internet.

And proboards cant separate by minors so everything discussed on forum needs to be PG-13 /minor friendly. Sad we cant have and adults section

Sexuality is one of the things weres basically outright refuse to talk about with none weres or in anything vaguely approaching a public setting. Unless things have changed and personally I don't think they should on that subject.

[wolfvanzandt]

Heh, things change. I've just finished loading the old AHWW poll onto a spreadsheet so I can fiddle with it more easily. They plumbed the depths. That was 1997 though and, honestly, if people are going to be disclosing about things like that, I'd rather there was an ethics committee involved.

Hello, while I understand the concern about personal information, the survey was designed that any question potentially of that nature was totally optional.

If read properly, there was no question asking about bestiality (an act, and illegal one at that), rather it was about romantic or other attractions. Zoophilia is simply a preference, one can't always help that. The question was not condoning nor condemning such an act, but just asking if any had such feelings.

The survey was completely anonymous and any personally identifiable information provided was solely on those willing to provide it.

During my time in various discussion groups, I've been surprised to find how many were's indeed express some level of attraction or love (not talking physical acts) towards their theriotype. This is all I was trying to reflect and gain understanding of with such a question. It may not have been worded in the best way, I apologize if that is where the misunderstanding comes from.


In regards to being PG-13 there was no graphic reference or anything of that nature. 


The survey is since closed. The results are linked on the page (click the original link provided) and can be viewed that way. In case, for whatever reason, you are unable, here is the direct link:

Interesting. Where will you go from there? Do you have a platform for publication?

Have you been able to pull out any conclusions?
