Intro
Interactive Data Slides
Commentary: I was going to keep this survey open for much longer but I didn’t know that the survey platform I was using (Surveyking) not only capped my responses at 2,000, but didn’t allow me to download the data even though it allowed for respondents to continue taking the survey. I was only able to acquire the data after bitching to their customer service. Remember kids: squeaky wheels get greased…or whatever the fuck. So if you were one of the poor folks who didn’t get the time to take it, I’m sorry. But there will be a second breeding kink survey to confirm/deny this one’s findings! So don’t fret too much.
Demographics
1. Age
2. Nationality
3. Gender
Commentary: Trying to visualize the gender statistics was…a bitch, to put it bluntly. At its heart, gender is not concise; however, for nice, neat, and legible statistics, data demands for things to be concise! As such, while it was the right move to allow participants to choose as many genders to fit their identities, this meant that I spent more time trying to organize it all than I did collecting the data lmao. It presented the problem as well of: if gender is not concise and more often than not cannot be designated into neat boxes, then how does one portray gender data? I spent hours thinking it over, trying different graphs, only to bump up against contradictions that made me toss the graph into the trash. I tried, for example, an XY graph with each corner representing different gender expressions: Man, Woman, Genderfluid (middle), Agender/Non-binary, & Genderqueer/Nonbinary. This graphs works well until you realize that it still unintentionally places genders within dichotomous positions. There are many people who, for example, identify as demi-boy and demi-girl (both on opposite corners of the graph), but did not explicitly identify on the survey as genderfluid, and there’s no workaround on the graph for that (at least to my limited knowledge). I even saw someone tried to create a gender graph that looked like an actual, physics-representation of a black hole–but I had absolutely no idea how it worked. I finally decided that I would instead show how often certain gender variants were repeated. These circles are not hard-set categories, but rather, embodiments of how often they were chosen. I stopped demonstrating gender variants under repetitions of five because there were so many different singular combinations that I didn’t have the space to fit them all onto one page.
4. Ethnicity
5. Sexuality
Survey Data
6."Do you consider yourself a monsterfucker?"
7. "Do you having a breeding kink within your monster attraction?" vs "Do you having a breeding kink outside your monstrous attraction?"
Commentary: You might be wondering why “Not at all” doesn’t have any data for Breeding kink in monster attraction, and, likewise, why “Only impregnation with non-living objects (e.g. eggs)” for Breeding kink outside monster attraction. “Not at all” only has data for the Breeding kink outside monster attraction because I removed respondents who put down that they neither had a breeding kink in monster fucking and outside of it. Having a breeding kink was one of the necessities so, out went those responses. As for the “Impregnation with non-living objects (e.g. eggs)”, obviously that was not going to be applicable to breeding fantasies outside of monster fucking.
8. "Does your monstrous attraction affect your breeding kink, if at all?"
9. "Do you have a child/children?" & "Do you want a child/children?"
Commentary: This data right here? Yah, this didn’t surprise me at all. I see so often when people talk about the breeding kink on Twitter or wherever a misunderstanding of it completely. It’s always sneering derision of “Breeding kink? Isn’t that just human evolution? Everyone has that.” And yet, the breeding kink is driven by fantasy and often the thrill of something you don’t want (pregnancy and children). It’s playing with fire, in a sticky sense. And so it does not surprise me in the least, then, that the majority of respondents don’t have children, nor do they want any.
10. "In your monster breeding fantasies, are you more often than not:"
11. "Rank your TOP 3 emotional responses to the idea of getting pregnant by a human OR impregnating a human in real life:"
Commentary: For clarification, this question (and the following questions), asked to rank their top 3 emotional responses. The top 3 emotional responses highlighted as those that were most picked for the respective first, second, and third places.
While I like the format of these questions, and find the data fascinating, two comments during the data collection came to my attention that I would like to change for the second round. The first was that people wished for more neutral emotions, which totally makes sense. I am excited to see in the second round if the introduction of more neutral emotions changes the top 3 emotions. I theorize that the first place position will remain the same (as it wins by a landslide in each case), but that the second and third place will perhaps be different.
Secondly, someone brought up that the idea of “getting pregnant or impregnating someone else” elicited very different emotions in them and that was a very good point. For the second survey, I will be separating those into different questions people can skip if it isn’t applicable to them and/or their fantasies.
12. "Rank your TOP 3 emotional responses to getting pregnant by a monstrous being OR impregnating a monstrous being:"
13. "Rank your TOP 3 emotional responses to consuming erotic media which portrays characters engaging in the breeding kink:"
14. "Rank your TOP 3 emotional responses to the idea of getting pregnant by a human OR impregnating a human in a fantasy:"
15. Select the kinks that you have:
16. Do you prefer your breeding fantasies to be:
Commentary: What I’d really be interested to know is how people would rank their preferences, perhaps ranking their top 3 like the previous questions. This will probably be another slight change in the second survey’s formatting.
17. In your monstrous breeding fantasies, which relationship dynamic do you seek out the most?
18. "Do you have a preferred monster in breeding fantasies?" & "Which monster do you prefer in your breeding fantasies?"
19. "Rank which monstrous features you prefer most in your breeding fantasies:"
Commentary: I don’t think anyone is going to be surprised by this lmao
20. "On a scale of 1 to 5, how taboo/titillating is the notion of getting pregnant by a person OR getting someone pregnant?" VS "On a scale of 1 to 5, how taboo/titillating is the notion of getting pregnant by a monster OR getting a monster pregnant?"
Final Thoughts
Overall, I am pleased and not all that shocked by the results. For the second survey, I will be changing a couple of the questions a little bit to make it more effective in the data it yields (as spoken about above). I am hoping that I will be launching that second survey in February, this time using a survey platform that doesn’t cap me at 2,000. I’ll also be publishing my breakdown of the written responses of this as well! Which will help round out the data and further support my theories that monsterfucking allows not only for easier breeding kink fantasies because it is so divorced from reality, but exaggerates them as well due to the fantastical nature of monster anatomy/monstrosity.
In the meanwhile, my next survey will likely be the monsterfucking survey that Phoebe Santillan and I have been raising money for! We are currently in the IRB process, and once that’s done and over with, we can launch the survey!
