Hi,
I was wondering about various things like how many avatars are not the same gender as their RL Persona, RL ages and how sexual habits in SL differ from RL habits so I put together a survey to ask. The survey consists of 9 questions and you can see all the previous results when you complete it.

No personally identifiable information is collected and this survey is totally anonymous. It is not sanctioned or approved by Linden Labs and is only done to satisfy my curiosity.

You can find it at:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=t_2fIsj9O3Pmt_2bXS_2fC1w7SHw_3d_3d

You can also find the survey in SL in the orange gadget at:
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Derwent/47/64/42

If you have any ideas for other questions drop me an IM in SL.

Thanks
Sandy Wolfe

I was disappointed, I was hoping it would really ask me about my kinks, something really Kinseyian. Being able to see the results was cool though.

Thanks for this Sandy... I always wondered how many AV's were really the same gender as in RL.

We'll be the judge of that.

You can start by listing your kinks. :p

One of the better surveys I've seen. There aren't enough replies yet to be statistically significant, though.

On the "expanding the relationship" question, I'd like to see responses for email, phone, and in-person meetings.

I'd also like to see the gender information broken down into males playing males, F-->F, M-->F, and F-->M.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I enabled filtering so if you go back to the results you can filter your view to show how many F --> M M-->F etc.

If you IM me in world I will send you the link again ( I don't want to post it so people will have to take the survey to get the results)

If you've already taken the survey, go to the survey page and just hit exit survey. It will bring you to the results page. :-)

Time for some results: 3 in 10 SL females are really Guys?
12-05-2008 19:21
123 RL Men responded. 42 of them said they were never or seldom the same gender as they are in RL... So they appear to be female in SL..

102 RL Women responded. 97 of them said they were usually or always the same Gender in SL. so they appear female in SL

This would suggest that for every 139 females in SL, 42 ( 30% ) are RL Guys.

Similarly 5 out of 102 RL Females said they were never or seldom the same gender as RL and 82 of 123 RL men were usually or always male in Sl so...

It suggests that of 87 Male avatars 5 (only 6%) are RL female.

Of course, this is not a scientifically conducted survey and the sample is very small but i thought it was intriguing...

Seems like if you see a male AV chances are the RL person is male.. if you see a female AV, 3/10 are really guys...
keep those answers coming!!!.

That's a lower percentage than conventional wisdom would imply. ^^

I hate to bring this up, but there are those who don't play Male of Female avatars. If you are playing a squirrel or a robot or a box, gender may not be a consideration at all; the avatar might be Null.
