Demographic survey

The demographic survey refers to the research conducted by the user Hannsgutherson from March to April of 2017 where he surveyed members of the wedgie fetish community from across multiple sites to provide a better idea of the makeup of the community. 

Research
Hannsgutherson asked several questions such as location, age, gender and sexual orientation in order to gather information about the community as a whole. This survey was proceeded by one conducted by the DeviantArt user Arghtime which was started in April of 2016.

Hannsgutherson has stated that the results of Arghtime's poll are not viable for providing accurate information on the community. He summarized his view on it when he wrote that, "Arghtime's poll is flawed because it allows for the same person to respond multiple times, thus jeopardizing the legitimacy of the data." 

Hannsgutherson's survey was open for around a month and shared with the members of LuckyFetish Forums WedgieHaven  and WedgieDate.

The survey is now closed and is not taking any more responses.
