Please respond to this survey only:

1) If your age is between 18 and 98, and
2) If you masturbate at least occasionally, and
3) If you have engaged in partner sex on a more or less regular basis for a month or more during any time in your adult life.

NOTE: As used in this survey the word "regular" means with some regularity or frequency, not "normal." This "regular" partner sex can be with one person, or with several or many partners during the same time period.

This is a very low-tech form. Please copy this survey and paste it with your answers into an e-mail and send to joani@swansway.com

1. When I am having regular or frequent sex with a partner, I masturbate.

______Much less
______Less
______About the same
______More
______Much more

2. For me reason for this is:

______I much prefer having sex with a partner to masturbating, doesn't everyone?

______I don't feel all that good about masturbating, but when I don't have a partner, I feel that I have no choice but to do it.

______When I'm having regular partner-sex, I'm so satisfied that I just don't feel like masturbating as much (or at all).

______Even when my partner is available to have sex with me, I sometimes or often prefer masturbating.

______I enjoy both masturbation and partner sex, and my engaging in them varies independently. Sometimes I might be doing a lot of both, other times much more of one than the other, and other times very little of either.

______When I'm having regular partner-sex, I feel completely satisfied and have no desire to masturbate. Enough is enough.

______When I'm having regular or even very frequent partner-sex, I just feel "turned on" or aroused, all the time, so I want to and do masturbate more.

______This question is hard to answer, because I sometimes (or often) masturbate (stimulate my own genitals to--or toward--orgasm) while my partner is watching, holding me, or playing with other parts of my body.

______I find that either partner-sex or masturbation can distract me from the other, so when I'm doing a lot of either one, I tend to do less or a lot less of the other.

_____When I don't have a regular partner, I feel somewhat "shut down" sexually, and it just doesn't occur to me to masturbate. Days or weeks can go by when I don't even think about masturbating.

______If my partner would have sex with me as often as I'd like to do it with him or her, I might never masturbate.

_____Why would anyone masturbate less, just because they have a regular sexual partner?

______I want to give another reason for my response to question # 1 (type in your answer here):

3. If you are a man, do you think women masturbate more or less or about the same when they are having regular or frequent partner-sex?

If you are a woman, do you think men masturbate more or less or about the same when they are having regular or frequent partner-sex?

4. I am _________years old.
