Survey Results:
Female Sexual Desire
Based on Number of Survey Participants
In order to present some of the survey results in a more meaningful way some of the results of the multiple choice questions will also be presented here, and updated periodically. There is increased error and some presumptions are made by doing so, but it is an improvement over how the results are presented on the MisterPoll.com website. The problem with the multiple choice question results on the MisterPoll.com website is that they are based on the total number of votes cast for each question, not the number of participants in a poll. With multiple choices available, the resulting percentages become so small they become practically meaningless. The given results don't reveal what the average participant has or has not done. The main presumption made with the results given below is that each participant has answered each multiple choice question at least once. The results of these surveys cannot be verified.
The number of presumed participants for each question was calculated to be 1667 (last update 855), the average number of participants who answered the single choice questions of the survey. These are the results of the survey as of 7/28/07.
