Addendum - Recent Sex Study.

I forgot -

After the recent sex study on arousal patterns of men in relation to she-males, I was chit-chatting with the one grad student and was asking him about the one study they were going to do on arousal patterns in relation to children and adolescents.

Long ago, I remember I had talked with the one professor about it, since it's been something he's wanted to study for a while, and when I had seen him, he said he had figured out the solution, to not have nude photos like his other studies, which mostly use porn, but rather pictures of people in bathing suits, since that got around a lot of legality issues.

As the grad student said, though, they still had to clear all of their pictures through the FBI, and that made things drag on.

Plus, when they were doing searches for pictures of children in bathing suits online, a lot of time they would come across pornographic material and they had to log it and report it to the authorities, which was a huge thing.

Lastly, they mostly just had their one lab manager do it, and it really really bothered her to come across child pornography, and she kind of broke down.

"In retrospect," the one grad student was like, "We should have spread that responsibility out."

So, even though they had sent out a preliminary questionnaire to me for that study over a year ago, it's pretty much dead in the water, it just fell apart.
