A. PURPOSE
I have been informed that the purpose of the research is as follows: to investigate the relationship between music and sex, specifically which types of music people use for sex, and how music affects what the body remembers.
B. PROCEDURES
The research will take place primarily on-line. Participants are invited to send their responses via e-mail, and all participants, unless they indicate otherwise, will have their responses published on the project's blog. Participants' responses may also be published elsewhere. All participants are free to chose how they wish to be represented, either with their real name, a pseudonym, or anonymous.
C. RISKS AND BENEFITS
There is the potential risk that even if a participant remains anonymous, their story or song selection may indicate their true identity should someone they know recognize the story or song selection.
One of the benefits of participating in this project is that all participants will receive a Sound Sex Project .ZIP file containing a Sound Sex Project music compilation.

I HAVE CAREFULLY STUDIED THE ABOVE AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT. I
