The first one of these has been available on MallofErotica and Amazon for a few months now. When I get time, I’m gradually writing up the second one (it’s a LOT more work than I thought!) which I hope to put up before Christmas.
This seemed like the best way to make the reports available to the public and help a little towards recovering the running costs for this community. However, it’s been pointed out that lots of people have Amazon accounts and many won’t like buying what is seen as “adult material” on Amazon (regarding future adverts and recommendations. Also, I know some people won’t like visiting an adult content market like MallofErotica because they want to keep that sort of thing off their bank statements.
It’s been suggested to me that I should offer the reports in return for Ko-Fi contributions to the site too to give a slightly more anonymous way of making a purchase. Would anyone prefer that? Would that be a worthwhile extra option to supply?

Have the participants seen your descriptions of them?!?!?!?!
I don’t know what it costs to sell things on Amazon but it would be an interesting exercise to market it in two different ways, one as erotica, the other as something more like a social experiment, and see which version sold better. I’ve occasionally bought slightly erotic material in the past and it hasn’t affected what I get shown as things I might like. The things it shows me are fairly irrelevant to what I’ve bought, so maybe I just don’t buy enough stuff from within a single category perhaps.

At least one of them has read it, I don’t know beyond that. I haven’t sold enough copies for them to have all ready it!
I usually find that I only have to look at a product on Amazon and that’s all they advertise to me on other websites for the next few days.
It doesn’t cost anything to sell on Amazon, apart from a 30% cut they take from each sale. It would be interesting to try a couple of different versions to market differently.

I’ve bought a copy – enjoyable read

I should probably make a forum for people to post suggestions for future experiments. Not sure if that is a good idea, the results might be scary.

An interesting read Ed, not sure how I would of reacted in those situations. It would be interesting to find out.

I suspect that I always think I’m posted to more people here than there actually are active in our community!
Glad you liked the report, @klogg & @auxilia. Apparently they reckon around 1 in 50 readers will leave a review or rating on Amazon, so we need 200-300 readers to get enough reviews to recommend it to potential readers. Most people think that a single review is most likely to be by the author under another name so you need to few before people believe it.

It’s up! Report #2 is finally available on Amazon:
Brief summary: We got six people together, three women and three men, with ages ranging from 22 to 52, to try out a range of situations involving casual nudity. These included:
- Someone being chosen at random to be the first one naked and the group watching them take off all their clothes.
- A person is given the opportunity to strip any one person naked.
- Participants voting on who should be naked, then watching that person undress.
- Everyone given the option to get naked together.
- A presentation where the presenter is presenting their own naked body.
- An outdoor fully-naked challenge for one participant.
- …And more!
There are also short interviews with the participants after the session and each participant had the opportunity to pose for a souvenir photo where they are completely naked and the rest of the group is fully clothed (photos NOT shown in the report for privacy reasons).
The report is available as a Kindle publication. Don’t worry, you don’t need a Kindle to read it. The free Kindle app is available on PC, Mac, Web, Android, Windows Phone and iOS so almost every portable device is covered.

I’ve spent most of this afternoon and evening announcing this everywhere I can. I thought there would be more questions, comments and general interest in the whole thing. Oh well, maybe over the weekend?
On a much lighter note, it looks like Experiment #3 has just landed in my lap with almost no preparation effort from me! I don’t want to jinx it by announcing what might be happening but an interested group has contacted me and it might be going ahead at the latter end of next week.

Another interesting read Ed, still wondering what I would do in their place.

I think somebody in the first report mentioned touching. I’ve always liked that idea ever since I saw it in one of the Emmanuelle films. It reminds me a bit of Encounter Groups, which I thought were more about personal development than sex, but they seem to be remembered that way these days.

When touching has been suggested to potential participants, I’ve had a very mixed response. Men seem much more likely to think it’s a good idea. Women not only tend to go the other way but have, on occasions, broken off contact permanently when it’s mentioned. It’s made me very wary of even suggesting it.

I have to admit this is something that I would probably like to try. I have always wanted to write a lot about CFNM from first hand experience instead of just the fictional situations in my novellas and I always wanted to try and experiment where I would be permanently naked around a group of women for an extended amount of time and see what the long-term effects of that are, but unfortunately I have never found any takers! But if I ever do I think it would be a very interesting book to experience what it’s like to have a nonmutual nudity type of relationship where you are always naked.
