Mission of the project
Our plans
We are now actively working on the creation of the new parts of the study about evaluation of sexual experience. As always, questions will be accompanied by helpful educational materials, links to articles and, of course, memes.

We want to make anonymized data (without any personal data that could help identify a person) of our research publicly available. At the moment, we are developing legal agreements which would allow for greater data security.
