I am doing a research on......

old couple’s sex life. No I’m serious!!! So any advice or tips on where/how I can approach or initiate this will be great!

Also, another group of people I need to research on is people who have one-night-stand experiences, or attempted in it. I don’t need to know who you are. I just need to have a conversation of Q and A on your mentality and attitude towards such activity. Of course I will let you know what this is all about when you PM me.

So, thanks in advance!

you are right about wrong section. I actually missed the research forum… but then, nobody really goes there anyway.

As for wrong forum…can’t I design something on the topic of sex?

well, delete or move this thread if you(mod) see as appropriate. Thanks.

This is a fine forum. And this is in no way an inappropriate subject to address.

At any rate, you should check out the Kinsey Reports. Dr. Kinsey & his team did extensive research on peoples sexual behavior/attitudes. The research was done about 50 years ago and proved to be quite controversial for its time.

one night stand mentality:

check out info on polyamorous relationships, book Ethical Slut would be a good start. it has a few real life stories and it’s easy to find.

I just did a quick search and read through of its description online and it seems that the results were presented in the form of stats and numbers. I am more interested in the mentality and attitude of the person though. However that information is really helpful nonetheless. Thanks!


I’ll definitely check it out. It seems to have what I am looking for. Thanks!

You might find the book “Designing Pornotopia, Travels in visual culture” relevant to your research. There is a good review of this book in the October issue of Blue Print.

I think more need to be understood about how sexuality affects design - particularly in western culture, which has an ambivalent attitude towards this subject in contrast of other cultures where gods are sexy and openly engaged in delightful activity.
