    We will be announcing the opening of enrollment for the study very soon. When we have the final ethical review and approval, we will send out the questionnaire and I'll post it here.

    Happy to be a guinea pig if needed and want to see this funded! I listened to you on the Sex and Psychology podcast and didn’t realize it’s actually uncommon for people who come from trauma to practice kink in a therapeutic way. Definitely has healed many wounds for me.
