without seeing the results of this, I expected the results to be mostly dictated by selection bias, and that "follows Aella" to be a stronger selection filter than "man or woman"

So if selection is pushing for similarity, the fact that men and women are answering differently makes it more surprising to me Idk if this is the right way to think about it but it stuck out to me

Ah; so you figured something about people following me would also select for BDSM preference/antipreference, surpassing gender?

Replying to

That's correct. And either it didn't, which would be interesting, OR IT DID and the results are STILL skewing fascinating either way

Ah I see. I *do* think this is true with a lot of things; both men and women are skewed in lots of answers due to following me, but it's mostly skewed re: ways I'm very different from other people, and I'm not like a "bdsm" account or anything.

It's true that this is not a bdsm account, and this isn't your nudes account either. However, I still think its adjacent given your business, and one of the the anti-porn narratives is that 'if you look at porn once you will keep going back for more and more extreme stuff'

I mean yeah, it's adjacent; probably most people who watch me, watch porn But most people who watch porn, don't typically watch extreme stuff, and I'd be surprised if it got significantly more extreme over time. I think BDSM preference is more... genetic?

also anecdote, I've been a regular porn watcher since I was a teenager, my preferences are pretty weird, but I have not gotten more extreme over time or needed weirder stuff in order to get off. It's been relatively stable.
