Hi,
Wow, I am surprised the amount of responses to the study.
It’s a study and it did not offend me. The professor wants to see if there
is a difference in the knowledge and acquisition of the knowledge of sex.
I think there would be. People learn by the media and diagrams in school.
When I took health some of the info was inaccessible to me. They had
pictures of male/female atonomy.
Joe Orozco said the professor said there is research suggesting blind young
adults are two years behind their sighted peers in this knowledge. So his
hypothesis is based on prior research. If this is the case, 18 year olds
would have the knowledge of 16 year olds.
I'd participate, but I do not meet the age requirement.
Amazing how we get up in arms about someone's survey; if you don't like it,
don't participate.

But what is the benefit? Why do we need to prove everything-- including
our abilities in the bedroom.
I agree with Joe; it is an irrevelant study that does not enhance our
lives, nor does it help society.
Respectively,
Bridgit

If there is in fact a significant difference between sighted and blind
young adults in terms of acquisition of accurate sex-related knowledge,
would it not benefit the community for this to be known, and for it to
be addressed? That which can be destroyed by the truth should be,
whether it's a misconception made by sighted people or a generalization
made by a few well educated blind people.
