Jesus dude….did you even read the first post….go and sprout your bullshit somewhere else.
This is a study on doll owners not bloody manufacturers and the LHP crap!!!

Correct. Do the mods even pilot test surveys themselves before allowing a researcher to post it? If so, then I'm surprised they granted it to be uploaded to TDF.Kandicaine wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 11:40 pm Study was a bit disappointing. Very little about dolls or doll ownership and mostly about their owners perception of women and sex itself.
The study is also strongly biased towards negative sexual behaviours, fantasies and scenarios.
Thank you for highlighting this discrepancy - the original post contained an error. The voucher code is for £5 (or local equivalent once converted), plus £10 as a discount on Coeros. I've amended the initial post now, but everyone who has taken part up to the point of this reply (I've just pulled this information from our system to initiate the payment process) will receive two codes so to make up the £10 that they thought they were getting.carbohvdrates wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 9:32 am Interesting stuff but this post says £10, but the website says £5, what's that about?

Yeah, I'm with carb on it being a good cause. If the sorts of scenarios that the study questionnaire explores are truly representative of prevailing stereotypes about doll owners, then I urgently hope that this research might help to reform (or at least soften) those stereotypes. Am I confident that anyone would listen? No. But the attempt is worth it, I think.carbohvdrates wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 9:46 am It's cheap for sure but I'd probably do it for free because it's a good cause, or at the very least I'm a chill enough dude that I know that any data I contribute couldn't really be used against doll owners as a demographic.

I also found the questionable situations in which you are asked whether this arouses you to be completely out of place. I have the feeling that this study would rather show that all doll owners have a disturbed relationship to women, sexuality and interaction with other people in general.
If it's supposed to be about dolls and their "effect", where are the relevant questions?
- Do you feel better/happier since owning a doll?
- Have other areas of your life changed positively since owning a doll?
- have you become more relaxed/confident in your everyday dealings with women?
- do you feel less alone since you have a doll?
etc etc
Yet they respond and want to know more.
Well I guess you’re the expert dude. I really don’t care. As long as you get your opinions heard….which is more like brand bashing to be honest. You keep doing what your doing mate….ondsdoll wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 8:18 pmYet they respond and want to know more.
Such surveys are often paid by manufacturers to get a clear customer view of their product for improvements.
I don't want to miss that opportunity as progress is made by being critical.
You can thank me for giving great advice to manufacturers.
This forum I DON'T use to ridicule any manufacturer, but to be critical of products we as doll enthusiasts have purchased or want to purchase.Tighes wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 8:28 pmWell I guess you’re the expert dude.

So many different people have dolls nowadays that you never can pinpoint it to a specific group and therefore the findings are incomplete and wrong.Sian_E wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 9:21 am Hello everyone,
We are recruiting all doll owners for a new study looking at the psychological characteristics of doll owners and issues related to sexual attitudes and behaviours.

If you own at least one sex doll / love doll, please do consider taking part in our survey, which will take approximately 10-15 minutes. We are paying participants in this study. At the end of the survey you will be asked to provide an email address (which can be an anonymous address), which is stored securely and separately from your data. We only use this email address to send you your payment, which is an online shopping voucher code worth £5 (or the equivalent in your currency), and a £10 discount code for use on Coeros, who stock doll accessories (see https://www.coeros.com/ for details about what they can provide).
If you would like to take part, please visit the survey website at https://www.soscisurvey.de/doll-ownership/. If you have any questions, please do feel free to reply to this thread, send me a message via the forum, or email at craig.harper@ntu.ac.uk.
Thank you very much in advance of your assistance.
