Study on non-heterosexual females

Are you a woman who is NOT heterosexual?

If YES, then you are invited to participate in my project focusing on women’s health and healthcare experiences in the greater Montreal area!

To participate, you need to:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Identify as bisexual, pansexual, queer, questioning, or anything other than heterosexual (even if you are not “out”) (trans* women included!)
• Have accessed healthcare in the last 10 years

Kink Research Study

PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND 

The purpose of this research study is to understand the similarities and differences between the motivations, relational experiences, childhood histories, and characteristics of individuals who engage in intense BDSM sensation play and those who do or have engaged in non-suicidal self-injury behavior. Specifically the research study aims to understand the reasons and motivations behind these behaviors as well as the personality characteristics of those who engage in these behaviors. You are being asked to participate in this study because you identify as a BDSM participant who enjoys receiving intense sensation play or you have had a history of engaging in non-suicidal self-injury behavior or you engage in both kinds of activities.
