SEX - A serious investigation into the relationship between scrapbooking and the quality of the sex life of scrapbookers and their partners

Ok - seriousness was hardly my aim. For some reason the Survey Monkey controls are not working at I have OVER 100 responses (Hoorary) but since I promised to report once I got to 100 I will now provide a preliminary report of the survey.

There have been 120 responses to the survey so far.

There were:
  • 102 Scrapbookers
  • 16 Partners
  • 2 Nosy buggers who like to answer surveys

Of the 120 respondents:
  • 102 were female
  • 16 were male
  • 2 Skipped the question

70%
responded to the age question with my ambiguous response of "Didn't you know it is rude to ask a lady her age?" and I may be wrong here, but I am going to interpret this as: 70% of scrapbookers are over the age of 30.

SO we have a group, largely female over the age of 30 - a group for which we already have extensive research about sex for later comparison. What fun.

I'll be a little more formal in detailing the rest of the responses.

REALLY interesting is the 14 people who skipped this question! Perhaps I needed a 'singles' category.

It's pretty obvious that some scrapbookers were answering on behalf of their partners here - naughty naughty!
