Gentlemen,

It is my great joy to let you know that over 600 hobbyists found it in their hearts to participate in the first formal survey ever of the TER hobbyist! This is a first and a world record. No other quantitative survey has ever collected this much data on men who seek sexual services through review websites on the Internet.

The survey is now closed and data will be analyzed over the next coming months. Many of the kindly souls who participated provided post-survey feedback, comments and suggestions in return PMs; these were also considered and much appreciated.

At this time, I am not at liberty to explain why some of the questions may have been odd to you, flawed, unnecessary or even seemed useless; suffice it to say that every shred of information provided is extremely valuable and I thank you deeply for your willingness to be part of this groundbreaking project.

Many of you have asked me to send the dissertation once it is completed. While this will not be an immediate possibility, I will share some data on the General Discussion board. This will happen sometime in Jan-Feb 2010. In addition, if the study will be published - and there is a very good chance it will be, since it is a first in the world - I will provide a link to more info.

Once again, my gratitude toward all of you is overflowing. Without your help, the dissertation and the project would never have come to fruition. I thank you for your answers, your kind words, your encouragement, your suggestions, your feedback and your patience. I only hope that my dissertation and continued work will honor your commitment and give you all the respect that you deserve.

My deepest thanks,
The Love Goddess
