Just because someone is on Fet doesn't mean they are in kids or dogs. There are lots of "just here for some experimentation" or "just had a divorce, need to party" or "20 somethings wanting to be edgy for a few months so they can say `I did that thing`" types of people that pop in and leave in a few months and don't really build the community. They seem like normal vanilla folk who wanted to give it an honest go, which makes me think surveying Fet doesn't mean "extreme kink" is over-represented because of it.

It's surely still going to be overrepresented compared to the general population.

No. I don't see how "surely" is meaningful when Kinsey demonstrated the entire population is kinky a/f with much larger, rigorous surveys four decades ago.

Kinsey's results were pretty much entirely made up, as his victims coming out over time have proven.

OK, wait. If he made everything up, what were the victims for?

He abused kids and then wrote whatever he wanted about their reactions. Wrote some absolutely crazy leading questionaires that he doctored the answers to anyway.

Was a close friend of Marion Zimmer-Bradley's husband, Walter Breen, which is actually pretty easy to find in writings but is scrubbed from the internet very effectively.

> scrubbed from the internet very effectively.

that sounds a lot like conspiracy talk to me like when people talk about how the united states government scrubs articles about free energy, moon landing conspiracies, and lizard people from the internet so that the citizens don't know the truth.

putting aside GDPR and the right to be forgotten that is law in most of europe how does one scrub controversial things from the internet when we can find things like Mormon secret religious ceremonies are on youtube.

It's pretty easy to browse through the writings and find their shared writings, but I don't have an index to boylove dot org or whatever nor do I want to search for it again.

You don't think there is a progression to sexual proclivities?

If you explain what you mean I could comment but I don't know what you are getting at.
