I both understand your suspicion and skepticism, which is warranted. My objective is not to discredit or to contradict the feelings, thoughts and opinions of a community ,which you correctly point out, existed way before i was even born. It would be presumptuos and arrogant to do so, and that is in no way my objective. I understand the phrase "know itself better" can imply that the community does not already know. I simply wish to understand some descriptive statistics (Average age, gender, sexuality, etc.) and characteristics of the community by following the findings of other psychology articles(namely Brian D. Zamboni's studies on the matter). Mine is a simplistic and limited "study", and I am perfectly aware of that and i do not wish to misguide anyone.
On the question of my membership in this community, the account i created for this purpose (StudentSmith) serves only to keep me safe from the exposure that putting out a questionnaire brings. I can assure you i have never gotten so many questions and interactions as i have in the last half hour.
And indeed I am 20 years old, my interest and interaction with abdl and especially tbdl chatrooms, content and groups started early in my life, though it has been only two years since i have become a legal adult and therefore able to interact more intensely.
In short, I understand your caution in regards to this study. I only wanted to explain my reasoning and respond properly.
