To answer your question I'm measuring reasons behind submissive activity.

Not only do you lie, you lie badly.

If you're going to bullshit your way through something you need at least a cursory familiarity with the subject matter. Clearly you know nothing of d/s, let alone the scientific method.

You're going to measure "reasons".. sheesh. More to be pitied than laughed at.

Are you even of higher eduaction do me a favor and research what a quantitative study is. Its not just facts and figures and if you dont knopw how to measure reasons all that shows is that you have no fucking clue what your talking about.

Hey, don't knock community colleges. The local one here is one of the top 10 in the nation. Which puts it above many "universities."

Cobbled together from years of reading the board and a BDSM lite secondary relationship.

I've been conducing a little experiment of late writing to random femdoms with short, friendlish PMs trying to get an exchange going. Right now I am 0-12 on responses. Its like being a door-to-door salesman with a bad product. (Like an idiot, too, I've even offered advice to others trying to connect to Femdoms when I'm batting .000. Does it all boil down to massage & gourmet cooking classes coupled with a handsome photo and lot's of money to burn? )

In the back of my mind I'm thinking about all the military sexual assault cases backlogging in the system (over 7000) -- and those female experiences with unwanted male attention in the military

A few points to address.........

No, you don't have to prove that you are an adult to the posters on the boards. However, if people are reporting you as underage, Admin is within their right to have you prove it to them. The site takes a really tough stand on not allowing people under 18 here. (Remember that ToS link. You find that part under section five.)

Next, let Me introduce you to a concept called thread drift. That is what they call it when the conversation of a thread includes conversation among the participants. Some thread drift is a natural progression and the Mods allow us to do that here. As long as your question was answered by a responder in one of their posts, they/we are allowed to continue talking to you, or any of the other folks on the thread about related comments. We're not locked in to *only* talking about the original post. Truthfully, you're just as guilty of not staying on the topic of the thread just as much as anyone else. Best of luck with that pot calling the kettle black thing.

The thread got a lot of views. Anybody on these boards can tell you that any kind of trollish behavior, people acting poorly, blowing up at other posters, etc is going to draw more attention to the thread. Also, the number of views isn't one time per poster. For example, I've kept up with the course of the thread, so every time I've posted to it, or came back to read what other people had to say, that gets counted each time I've looked at it. The FAQ thread isn't an active discussion, so people only need to read that once.

The Mods aren't going to close the thread. The bulk of the thread is well within forum guidelines so there's no reason for them to do that. Mods don't close threads just because the original poster doesn't like the answers they receive. This is a good thing, though. It allows anybody who hits that nice "view forum posts" button should they come across your profile and get this example of how you interact with others.

I'm not going for the bit about how you are so much smarter you are than the posters here. You wouldn't be here if you didn't want the knowledge that we have. Some of the people on these boards have been actively involved in BDSM longer than you've been alive. Like it or not, that's worth something, too.

Oh, and since you want to play the age card so much, I'll let you in on another thing. When the next eighteen year old comes along and creates a thread asking why they aren't taken seriously, and I promise you that those threads come up often here, it's threads like this one that get pulled up and linked to show the example of why most people here won't.
