Hello everyone!

I don’t know if this is the proper forum to post this; If it's not, I m sorry for any inconvenience.

I am a doctorate researcher. I am interested in brands and consumption in SL/RL. If you are willing to be part of my research or if you want to know more about me and/or my research, please contact me in-world either by IM or NoteCard. If not, thank you for reading my post anyway.

Just to let you know, I am using informal unstructured interviews for conducting my research.

Thank you,
Grace Blitz

I like that you already have 17 posts here and are using an informal structure. But be advised, we get solicitations for research here a lot, so you might get some snarky replies to your request.

Hi Grace

Thanks for this nicely phrased invitation; we here in the forums receive a great deal of requests for surveys and like from researchers (some legitimate, some not), and you win high points for the clarity of your notice, and the fact that you are not immediately spamming us with an online survey (as is so often the case).

I think many here would be happy to help you out, although you do make this sound as though it might be a somewhat time-consuming process. One note, however: do you have a way of establishing your academic bona fides? I think there are those of us who would be willing to help out a grad student, who would NOT do the same for someone doing, say, commercial research for a marketing company.

You needn't post the details regarding your academic credentials and identity here -- in fact, you really shouldn't do so. But if you offer to make these clear to those you interview, you may have more responses.

Thank you Raymond and Scylla for your posts.

Sure I have a way of establishing my academic bona fides and regarding my academic credentials and identity I am going to make these clear to those that I interview.

About the time that the interview will last, it is not too long (and the interviewee can withdraw anytime she/he wants).

And finally, it is NOT a commercial research for a marketing company.

Thanks,
Grace

NVM. I really don't want to know.

Yes, and a speculum is used.

No way. Seriously? Up their bum?


==============

OK, I broke down and called my hubby. They just roll over on their side and the doc sticks a finger up their butt. That's it. They way they go on about it I thought it was something horribly invasive or something.

LOL

I was afraid I'd have to explain.

But I was kind of hoping I could string you along... although my imagination was failing me.

The thing is, men get turned on when their prostate is stimulated. So a prostate exam is a blessing and a curse.

Did he ask you, "What the HELL are you reading?"

or

"Why do you want to know that?"
