I find it curious that a psychological study aimed at understanding gay men is still being promoted stereotypically. One of the first things you learn in psychology is that of the role of a primer in experimentation. When human beings see an image or sound or see a color they are then in effect being primed to answer in a specific way. I would not be surprised if this survey is trying to prime gay men into answering questions about the nature of sex. But if one wants honest answers the experiment should be done with a control. Good luck.
