first asked in the Tuesday 25 July 2000 issue
We asked a couple of questions to help us decide how best to expand the Fetish Information Exchange. We just reported the overall results of this survey in the latest issue of Fetish-News. Below are the survey results direct from the newsletter along with some of the best comments we received from participants.

Our latest survey asked for your feedback on what you'd like us
to add next in the Fetish Information Exchange. As we said,
we've got a lot of topic pages in production but we're willing
to finish and publish them in the order that our readers,
members and guests would most like to see. We asked two
questions, one designed to let us know how many people are
interested in each topic we're planning to add and the other to
help us decide the order we'll add them.
Below are the results of the survey. As usual, we're including
some of the comments and suggestions we received too (keeping
them anonymous unless the writer specifically told us otherwise
in their message), but this time we're posting most of them
only on the survey responses page to save space in this issue.
The survey page link below will take you there if you want to
read the rest of them.
The first survey question asked readers to check ALL of the
topics they'd be interested in seeing us add pages about in
the Fetish Information Exchange. Here are the results for
that question, ranked by popularity:
NEW FAQ TOPIC ...... Interested .|. NEW FAQ TOPIC ... Interested
breast/nipple torture .. 71.94% .|. first aid kits ...... 34.69%
wax play ............... 58.16% .|. kinky kalender ...... 25.51%
electrical play ........ 56.12% .|. fire play ........... 24.49%
slavery contracts ...... 56.12% .|. age play scenes ..... 23.98%
wife slut course ....... 52.51% .|. safety calls ........ 23.47%
slave positions ........ 50.45% .|. chemical play ....... 19.39%
reading lists .......... 35.71% .|. bdsm pregnancy ...... 17.35%
medical scenes ......... 34.69% .|. fur fetishes ........ 13.26%
So, from this it seems that there's the strongest interest in
the top six topics, defined here as being interesting to more
than 45% of our audience. But the next three interested more
than a third of you and the next four around a quarter of our
audience.
The second survey question asked readers to check just the ONE
topic they'd be interested in seeing us add pages about NEXT in
the Fetish Information Exchange. Here are the results for that
question, again ranked by popularity:
NEW FAQ TOPIC ...... Wants Next .|. NEW FAQ TOPIC ... Wants Next
electrical play ........ 19.90% .|. bdsm pregnancy ....... 3.06%
breast/nipple torture .. 13.78% .|. reading lists ........ 2.55%
wife slut course ....... 13.78% .|. first aid kits ....... 1.53%
slavery contracts ...... 10.20% .|. safety calls ......... 1.53%
slave positions ......... 9.69% .|. fur fetishes ......... 1.02%
wax play ................ 9.18% .|. chemical play ........ 1.02%
medical scenes .......... 7.65% .|. fire play ............ 0.52%
age play scenes ......... 4.08% .|. kinky kalender ....... 0.51%
As you can see, the top six topics are the same here, just in a
slightly different order. So what conclusions can we draw from
this? Basically that you all have a wide range of interests and
that we probably will add pages about all these topics now. We
may skip around a little on the exact order, sometimes based on
when our writers have articles ready, but you can count on the
fact that you'll see new FAQ sections for each of the most
popular topics come online in the next few months.
As is usually true with our surveys, participants could include
anonymous comments, some of which we'll pass along here...
"I enjoy watching medical scenes and I and my partners are
into enemas, speculums, rectal and vaginal probing, fisting,
toys, latex gloves and I would like to learn a lot more on
what we could add to our sex-play all the input you could
provide would be appreciated. It is a great turn-on to be
probed and examed by another person or group of people. I
would like to meet other people into the above activities.
I do consent to my e-mail address to be made public so I
could correspond directly." -- J.L.D.
"Fisting, objects pages would be great additions, also 'how
to' on each." -- W.B.......@tbcnet.com
"With the vast amount of topics you have covered, I'm surprised
not to see "felching" on your list. I haven't the need of it,
but I believe firmly that knowledge brings power, just as
weakness stems from ignorance, and I am interested not just in
what I like, but what others may like. I'd like to thank you for
your service provided thus far. Keep up the good work."
-- D.A. ....@studios1.ezesurf.co.uk
"Already receive your letter. The medical info is unusually
accurate. Good job!" -- Dr R.F. .....@yahoo.com
"Unlike most of the above topics comprehensive information on
BDSM and pregnancy (ie info that covers more than just the
obvious purely physical considerations) is virtually impossible
to locate, even on the net. Contributing views by kink aware
psychologists rather than the purely medical perspective would
be invaluable!" -- J. .....@tpg.com.au
"Please also add the SSS FAQ at
http://www.amythest.com/sss/resource/sss-faq.html"
-- D.L. .....@aol.com
"How about beastiality? I am a male with a beastiality fetish.
I am not gay. But, I enjoy sex with male dogs.. am I a freak.
I have told not one of my female lovers this + I am looking
for a woman who would be interested in such a topic."
-- S. .....@yahoo.com
"Anything you would have pertaining to spanking would be greatly
appreciated." -- D. .....@netscape.net
"Just a comment... I appreciate all the work, effort and
enthusiasm that goes behind putting this site together...
thank you!" -- Mistress Monica .....@yahoo.com
"Love the site just wish there was a little more scope to what
was available." -- F. .....@hotmail.com
"I'm a senior WbiM who is versatile but prefer sub or bottom and
am interested in catheter and colonics (enema) and of course
oral, anal, fisting play... I'm new to this list so maybe these
have been covered recently but I did not see caths and enemas
mentioned." -- E. .....@mac.com
"I am a male x-dresser, but am not interested in looking like a
woman. It seems that i'm part of a minority of a minority...I
was wondering how many x-dresses have the same outlook as me."
-- anon
"I would like to see more material catering to the navel fetish.
There are some web sites, but no magazines or movies (unless
one is prepared to pay for custom work)." -- anon
"How about male control by the dominate female as in total
control and raping of the male slave." -- H. ...@femsupreme.com
"Age play ::smiles deviously:: definately deserves attention. I
am the soft sweet 32 year old going on 12 lol and would love to
see more on that subject." -- C. .....@go.com
"I really like your serial stories and look forward to reading
each new episode. Particularly am interested in learning how
to be truly submissive to my master's wishes, whatever they
might be....accept pain, give my body to whoever he chooses and
do it joyfully." -- A. .....@nbnet.nb.ca
"I do some fetish modeling for a website and I was just
wondering if you had any suggestions for other places hiring.
Nothing too hardcore but I think some bondage would be fun. I
was approached for it at a fetish club in Hollywood but I lost
the paper with the number. I think it was called Second Chance
or something like that. If you know anyone please email me
their contact information or give them mine. Thanks. Feel
free to quote me if you want. I don't need to be anonymous."
-- J. W. lylvyxen@aol.com
"Just in the 2 hours I spent here, I learned so much!!! I can't
wait to see your site grown evern more!!" -- M.W. ....@yahoo.com
"Forced lactation is another subject that I am fasinated with,
have seen a couple of pics, but, haven't really found anything
of substance. Is it possible to develope this also or am I one
of very few out there that want to enjoy this?"
-- T. S. .....@az.rmci.net
"Electrical play. Include contact information for any skilled
person in electrical play who would be willing to teach...either
in play or for a fee." -- E. .....@tampabay.rr.com
"i'm interesting in facesitting mainly" -- P. .....@aeudf.br
"I would love my slave to KNOW that for her to be my slut in
whosoever I choose to give her too at the time is NOT a turn
off & that it's ok. I love her & she seems to think that at a
later time I'd come back on her about it. NOT so, it's a true
turn on for me & I'd appreciate some information for her
benefit so she'll know it's ok. News Articles addy's or sites
dealing in the wife slut training would be wonderful. Thank
you." -- M.B. .....@aol.com
"I have seen a lot of wax shots online and wonder what the
excitment of the wax torture is.. could someone help explain it.
I don't know anyone in my life that would be willing to try so
hopefully someone can help me out." -- T.D. .....@hotmail.com

xxoo" -- Mistress Agony .....@aol.com
"As a relatively new comer, only 18 months r/t 24/7 D/s I am
interested in most facets of our wonderful lifestyle. I
absolutely love your information pages and have alredy gained
some wonderful insights through reading them. My main interest
is in using leather restraints and implements in our S/M play
so would be greatful if you could provide information on this
subject." -- G. .....@hotmail.com
"My boyfriend loves to suck and bite my breasts, I really get
off on this. Are they any more ideas to play with. It is a
fetish after all." -- N. ..... @collegeclub.com
