Further experiments

[Ed]

There are two possible experiments lined up for next year. I hope to get the first one done in February but we’ll have to see how keen the participants are. The second one is a little less certain right now but I’ll still hopeful it will become reality.

I’ve still yet to work out what to do about creating written reports. Those are a lot of work so I’m not going to promise to publish them as not many people are interested in them. My aim was to sell 30 copies of each, so maybe if Experiment’s #2 and #3 can eventually hit that target, I’ll publish more of them.

I would still like to be involved, even in an all male group.  I don’t know how possible it would be, but a mixed sexual orientation might be one option (with or without touching each other).
The male view of homosexuality (being scared?) and society’s view of public male nudity are (I feel) the last major taboos of nudity=sex=porn=disgusting.

I don’t know how well a report on this would sell, but of social implications are my biggest draw back to being naked in public (places)

A key sticking point to an all-male experiment is that the vast majority of male applicants only want to do mixed experiments.

[Gary]

No sense of adventure ?

Obviously nicer to see naked women, but it’s the being seen naked (particularly outside) that interests, excites, scares me

Yes same for me. Mixed better, but it’s the thrill of risking my clothes especially outside that is most important.

Have I ever shared the most common reason for women who’ve inquired about the experiments going no further?

They don’t believe that I don’t publish video/photos of the experiment.

 

The most common reason for them being rejected? That they are not women but men trying to jump the queue.

If I wrote up another experiment, who would be interested in buying it from Amazon?

Yes – the first 3 were interesting and certainly make me want to take part

I haven’t worked out how many copies that would have to sell to make it worth transcribing the next one, but I guess if a dozen or more people were interested, I’d get to work.

[Ed]

Hmmm. Not overloaded with demand then.

Originally, I had a long term aim of drastically increasing the readership of the reports so I could greatly reduce the fee for taking part or stop it completely (ie the site would pay for it, knowing the money would be made back from report sales) but it looks like unless I can find a 50:50 male:female group who are happy to have video published, it’s never going to pay for itself that way. If I had the money available, I’d be tempted to video one with paid actors (no script just natural reactions), just to kick things off.

[Gary]

Well there are at least 2 of use that don’t mind an all male group @pete and me.

Find a suitable location between Cardiff, Peterborough and Sheffield might present a small issue

That does present a challenge!

We’re getting over 1000 unique visitors to the site per month now. If I could get 2% of those to buy one of the experiment reports, the site would more than break even, it would be worth writing up the next two reports and we might encourage more people to participate in the experiments.

It seems like a total sausage fest at the moment. Besides all people would have to be from the UK as others would have to be multiple vaccinated and would have to have valid current passport with biometric data in chips, plus they would have to install big spyware on their phones (aka covid passport) that tracks their every movement, everywhere they go, every person they meet (aka contact tracing) even if other pple don’t have this spyware installed on their phones (via cellphone carrier BTS, proximity of other phones, phone number, bluetooth, inaudible signals, gps, EMEI and so on). So you have to travel with biometric passport to the UK, then you have to install spyware on your phone, multiple “jab” yourself with “stuff” and even people who don’t do this and are from the UK they will be subject to contact tracing. Then you will have to give your data, ids, passports, phone numbers (we don’t know who will have access to them or where they will be stored) and other data to the venue rental people, like a hotel, which are legally required to collect all the data and trace you (just in case someone gets covid and the rest have to be quarantined), because its a public event and has to be reported. Plus there only men here :(. For these reasons, I’m out.

[Ed]

Most of that is completely beyond my control but the Covid restrictions are lifting and will be gone soon. I’m sure the biometric passport requirement isn’t a thing. I know a few people who have arrived in the UK recently with non-biometric passports. They had no problems. I’m fairly certain there is no requirement to install any app on your phone, or even to have a phone.
Also, it’s NOT a public event. The public don’t know when or where it takes place. It’s registered for insurance purposes (I have to do that to protect myself!) but that’s as far as it goes.

We haven’t done any all-male experiments at all and I’m not expecting to do any. All experiments will be 1:1 male:female. That’s always the case.

The experiment reports themselves have been better for participant recruitment than the community site, and I’ve done small ads and posts on social media etc. I’ve got one experiment group queued ready-to-go and maybe two more in the pipeline (still discussing it with them).

I’ve bought all 3, and would buy another. I’d also take part in a mixed experiment, I think you said I’d have to fill in another form, though I did fill one in.

Changed my role at work so been very busy, also it’s been way too cold to think about being naked much 🙂 Starting to get ready for spring now, so I’ll try and get involved again.

I have the full ‘set’ and will certainly purchase more as and when they are published.

It’s good to hear there’s some interest in new reports. When life quietens down a little, I’ll put the hours in to write up Experiment #5. I’m hoping to get Experiment #6 done before the end of March (either 20th or 27th) so, if #5 sells, I’ll write up #6 sometime afterwards.

It doesn’t look like life is going to quieten down for me until mid-May, so I’ll try to get to writing up another experiment report then. It’s complicated too as I’ve got one which didn’t go to plan and most probably isn’t worth writing up and another one where the participants took ages to agree to me publishing the report and then, a week later, took back their permission. I have a third one that went mostly to plan (they never go 100% to plan!) and for which I have permission to publish a report. Whichever one ultimately gets published, I’m going to number it #4. Otherwise, I’ll spend the rest of my life explaining to people why they go #1-3 then #5 or #6.

I’d love to get some done which are organised through the community here but interest levels have crashed since the Covid-19 outbreak 🙁
