And The Survey Said….

April 27th, 2009

I’ve been furiously tabulating the results of my recent survey (smiles – not really, the program is handy – it does it all for me).   There were  approximately 450 unique visitors yesterday alone, so I’m not sure how statistically valid the numbers are, but I found the results interesting regardless.

There were 55 respondents (thank you soooo much for taking the time for me).

94.5%  (52) were male
5.5%  (3) were female

Ages:

21-29 1.9% (1)
30-39 16.7% (9)
40-49 37.0% (20)
50-59 40.7% (22)
60 plus 3.7% (2)

Which of the following most accurately describes you:

I am a female dominant. 1.8% (1)
I am a male dominant. 3.6% (2)
I am a female top. 0.0% (0)
I am a male top. 0.0% (0)
I am a female submissive. 0.0% (0)
I am a male submissive. 47.3% (26)
I am a female bottom. 0.0% (0)
I am a male bottom. 0.0% (0)
I am a female switch. 1.8% (1)
I am a male switch. 12.7% (7)
I am a kinky female. 1.8% (1)
I am a kinky male. 9.1% (5)
I am a curious female. 0.0% (0)
I am a curious male. 20.0% (11)
Other 1.8% (1)

So that’s the demographics. Surprised by the numbers?

I’m going to pull out a few of the text responses, but I’d like for you all to know that I value each of your responses. While I like to write about the sexy things, the kinky things, I was most touched by the number of people who said they liked to just read about the every day things of my life, too. It’s difficult to explain, but that made me feel really nice.

In response to what type of posts do you most enjoy, one person responded, “Your questions. They make me think and I have to answer.” Good boy ;)  I had to smile at that comment.

Another remarked, “I like that you mix it up. All femdom all the time would simply get stale. All relationship eventually becomes mundane; likewise, all sex becomes dull. You’ve done a good job of mixing things up to keep it fresh.”  I really do try to do that but sometimes I get on a roll ;)

A few responses indicated the writer and his/her spouse are new to the idea of the woman taking more control in the relationship, whether it be sexually or more. I’m thrilled to know you are here and want you to know there are so many who read my blog that have been in relationships like yours. I’m sure they also would be willing to answer questions about their experiences should you ever wish to leave them.

The most common responses, other than to post whatever I want to post, were “I enjoy tease and denial type of posts”, “love the evil cowgirl”, and “love the photos”. I do want to say I actually do post whatever I want, but not all that I want if that makes sense.  I’ve toyed with having additional blogs like a political blog, a “personal” blog in which I just talked about day to day things that weren’t “kink” or “sexy”, etc. but it’s just too difficult to keep up with my schedule and multiple blogs. I’m still not sure about posting everything here but I’ll consider it.

Thanks again to everyone who responded to the survey :)

    I am surprised there aren’t more men in their 20s and 30s that read here.

    On an unrelated subject, do you think you could do another “Interview Me” segment where people can leave questions for you to answer? I think that there are quite a few people who would enjoy the opportunity.

    Re: Thomas’ comment:
    I imagine that there are many who read yet do not comment.

  3. James says:

    I too would like it if you would have a section where people could ask you questions. Maybe you could have an anonymous section or survey so that people can ask without feeling embarrassed.

    I agree with what people said in the survey. You should write about what you want to write about. While I am interested in the dominance and submission I am more interested in you as a person. I liked your movie review and would have liked it even if it wasn’t about a strong woman. It would be interesting to hear more of your day to day activities like you used to post about.

    Most of all I think you should post about whatever you want to post about.

    It can take a while to learn how your inner workings are wired.

    It can take a while to become secure enough in who you are to choose a different path.

    Or it might be that Lady Julia’s mature style doesn’t resonate with the 20-somethings.

    Suprised to see so few women do the survey?
    and almost 50% identify as male submissive!

    I wonder if there are a lot more submisive men in our societies who keep their nature secret because of cultural expectations? and Women who are missing out on this potential because of the same!
