Details of the Survey

My name is Robert Odell, a researcher on a team of sexuality and healthcare professionals seeking to improve the health of kink-oriented people. Because of your standing in Kink communities, I am writing to request Uncommon Bounds' support for the 2021 International Kink Health Survey (“IKHS”).

Leadership

IKHS is led by our principal investigator, Richard Sprott, Ph.D., and CFO of The Alternative Sexualities Health Research Alliance (TASHRA), an international non-profit based in northern California. TASHRA is committed to the health, healthcare and well-being of kink-involved individuals & communities.

Launch

IKHS will launch worldwide in August 2021 with approved international standards for protecting human subjects and data. Learn more at www.kinkhealth.org.

Description

IKHS builds on TASHRA’s groundbreaking 2016 National Kink Health Survey. IKHS deepens research on physical and mental health, healthcare access and utilization. It examines kink intersections with sexuality, gender identity, race, social stigma, sex work and kink community.

Over the past two years, a diverse team of 35+ professionals - researchers, physicians, sex therapists & sexologists, mental health professionals and kink community members - have created the most comprehensive survey to date of kink-related health and healthcare experiences.

Can we work together?

UB will be an Ally by helping us promote IKHS and recruit respondents worldwide.

Yours in gratitude,
