Now that would be a result, though not on the subjects of the experiment proper. :mrgreen:

Better keep a defibrillator handy... :lol:

I wouldn't be too quick to draw conclusions about what skewed the poll results. A lot more people have computer savvy than one would expect, especially among the older generation.

I'd say that the drop may be due to people getting more distractions as they cross that threshold into full adulthood. One of these could be finding a "vanilla" life partner, not interested in any sort of kinkiness in their sex lives. Also, there could be a job taking up time and energy, or some other new social engagements. The 20-25 age range is when a lot of things change for everyone.

you know what is really funny
:?: :?: :?: :?:

even though almost 50% of the voters say 18-25, almost all the replies in this thread are from the 35up crowd.

I responded to this poll early on, I am the 1% person, 66 years old. My intrest in bondage started when I was about 12 years old and has stayed with me ever since. The desire to be properly bound and gagged has been with me for over 54 years and is still strong, I still try to enjoy a little " quiet time " every weekend. Age has nothing to do with it. My wife ( 56 years old ) has become quite expert in binding and gagging and doesn't wait to be asked to tie me up. She will walk in, hand me a gag and tell me to put it on, and then the fun begins.

I'm 60+ and feel much younger.

Because of circumstances I had to give sb a break, but am slowly get into it again.
I find it very erotic. The frustrating part is that I thought I could take up where I left off, but it's not that easy to relearn the knots and the techniques. Thank goodness for Boundanna. I'm hoping to have 3-4 weeks of private time a little ways down the road, and then I hope to get adventurous again. :D

I'm in my 40's and have been doing this since age 11 or 12. It hasn't been until recently that I've become more comfortable with my feelings. Guilt and shame were a major player in most of my SB adventures (afterwards).

I am married and my wife is trying to understand my desires. She is trying, but she's old skool and really doesn't know what to think. Got to give her kudos for trying though.

Now that I look at things a bit differently, I'm discovering more about myself (more fetishes) and more I'd like to try. Haven't told her absolutely everthing, but for the most part, have told her about 90%.

BTW, thanks to everyone for making me comfy here.

poll suggests a lot less 30+ than i would have guessed. 23 myself *shrug* but i still see lots of middle aged people photos on the internet. guess they do not use this forum lol.

old enough to know that most of us probably start bondage reasonably young - and the urge never really goes away.

50 myself. I agree with the only as old as you feel idea. Although I admit I feel older on occasions (too often these days). But I some times act like I'm still 21 and indestructible. That is probably why I feel older some times

I'm 55 and still enjoying self bondage! Have to watch out I don't get cramp though.
Happily married (but always ready to flirt), wife not into anything kinky so it's self-bondage when I can.

When I was like 18 I would read but was far to insecure to post...

However, most folks on the internets are probably <30 in age.

I'm 30 btw.
