Reports

written, long-form analyses
Big Kink Survey
Who's Into Bestiality?
~10% report some arousal to animals. Which animals, who's into it — and what's actually unique about them once you compare against equally kinky people.

Big Kink Survey
Autogynephilia, Measured At Scale
Blanchard's own items on 285,000 people: AGP fantasy is common in cis straight men, the mirror exists in women — and the famous typology comes out backwards.

Big Kink Survey
The Six Gender Identities
Cis, trans, and nonbinary people compared across a million respondents — orientation, mental health, trauma, sex life, and sharply split kink fingerprints.

Big Kink Survey
Who's Into Sissification?
12% are into degradation-by-feminization — peaking at 38% of bi men. Its kink signature is gender-transformation, not BDSM, and the one trait that survives is autism.

Big Kink Survey
What Drives PMS?
Religion vs class vs temperament, head-to-head: neuroticism dwarfs all, the religiosity gradient survives controls, the class gradient collapses — and leaving the faith doesn't help.

Big Kink Survey
How Bad Is PMS?
91% of menstruating women report mood PMS, 17% severe. What predicts a worse case — mental health, upbringing, religion, country — and why the pill barely moves it.

Big Kink Survey
Behavior Across the Cycle
111,000 women, phase by phase: libido and attraction to masculinity both peak at ovulation — and the peak survives hormonal birth control.
Read report
Porn & Incentives
Does Porn Create Desire?
8,400 people on whether porn would make a man actually try 19 acts. "It would change HIM, not me" — and the gap grows with taboo (r=0.71). Folk belief runs opposite to the BKS data.

Big Kink Survey
Pornography Use
What a million kinky people reveal about porn — prevalence, onset, shame, healing, and effects on sex life.
Read report
Big Kink Survey
The Shame Map
Which desires feel wrong: shame tracks taboo content (non-consent, humiliation, incest) — not porn use, kinkiness, neuroticism, or religion.

Big Kink Survey
Are Fetishes Born or Made?
Innate or caused by experience? Five lines of evidence — timing, porn, trauma, sex differences, generations — with the obvious confounders controlled.
Read report
Big Kink Survey
Fetish Onset & Porn
When fetishes begin, why early ones run stronger, which kinks track porn use — and which fetishes predate porn entirely.
Read report
Sex Perspective
Porn & Predicting Desire
How men predict women's sexual tastes, how often they're wrong, and what porn use has to do with it.
Read report
Relationship Survey
Mono vs Poly
50,000 people across the monogamy–polyamory spectrum: flourishing, jealousy, sex, and cheating — and why the ambivalent middle does worst.
Read report
Relationship Survey
Relationships Over Time
From month 1 to year 33: passion's long slide, the sex-frequency clock, rising security, eroding transparency — and whether couples drift poly.
Read report
Relationships
Who Cheats?
Who cheats, who gets cheated on, and the traits and circumstances that predict it.

Childhood Survey
What Part of a Bad Childhood Does the Damage?
Seven childhood axes compete: sad-loner dominates everything, broken home collapses to zero — plus the 9% with hellish childhoods who are thriving anyway.

Childhood Survey
The Anatomy of Childhood Sexual Abuse
Perpetrator, severity, frequency, grooming vs coercion, who knew and how they reacted — which dimensions actually carry the adult damage, all entered together.
Read report
Childhood Survey
Does Spanking Hurt — Or Only Angry Spanking?
Angry vs calm spanking against the household around it: ~90% of the spanking penalty is the chaos, calm spanking collapses to zero — but angry hitting still adds harm.

Childhood Survey
Purity Culture: What Happens to the Kids?
The repression→kink theory mostly fails — and the worst-off group anywhere is high-purity kids who left the faith. Obedience-as-virtue best predicts being at war with yourself.
Read report
Childhood Survey
Who Admits It? The Perpetration Question
12% say they've had a sexual experience with someone who didn't want it. The abuse→abuser cycle tested directly — real, but smaller and stranger than the cliché.
