Orgasm. I've seen that word so many times today I've forgotten when it is or isn't socially acceptable to say it. Hence why I made my Dad super uncomfortable by openly talking about today's project.
So I volunteer as a research assistant under my old professor and his grad student. He taught me Human Sexuality so I was super excited when I got this position because it's exactly the type of research I find most fascinating. Instead of a regular schedule they just contact all the RAs for sporadic projects. The latest project is a survey study on porn and relationships - whether and why people watch porn while in a relationship and whether and why they watch it with their partner.
My job is to read over the participants' answers and code them into certain categories. It's safe to say, I had an entertaining time. I learned quite a bit too. Unfortunately, it's worse than I thought for you ladies. A lot of females were talking about how they watched porn because their partner didn't know what they were doing, there were even some that said they had to watch it after having sex so they could actually get off - sad.
I always had the participant's gender and participant at the top of the screen. At some point I got it mixed up and thought the participant number was their age, so by the time I got to the 70's and 80's everything seemed a lot more interesting. I was also wondering how my supervisor managed to convince so many seniors to openly talk about sex. But no, I was wrong, and things weren't as interesting then.
So that was today's project. I have a lot of stories of things I've already done, so who knows which I'll talk about next.
