Affection within Devotional Sex

This poll is for for couples who practice Devotional Sex (DevS).

It looks at how many minutes each week you do a range of affectionate activities, and compares this with what you did before you started DevS.

If you practice DevS I want to hear from you even if you don't engage in lots of affectionate activities (eg for some just lots of cuddles in bed may be enough).

The reason for asking about before for each activitiy is that it is difference between before and after which shows whether or not DevS has made a difference.

Just a good guess of how many minutes a week will do.

And if you do something so often that you think in hours, just convert the hours to minutes. So an hour a day is 7 * 60 = 420 minutes.

If you do an activity for say 10 minutes once every two weeks, just average this out and so enter that you do it for 5 minutes each week.

If an answer is zero then either enter 0 or just leave that question unanswered and move on to the next.

The survey also asks about the importance of affection to your and your partner's overall enjoyment of Devotinal Sex.

Early results found that affection is a key part of sexual activity for many - so I now ask about the balance between sexual pleasures and affection for sexual activities.

This is a survey which is good to fill in together.

Otherwise you are likely to need to ask your partner a few questions. (It is worth asking them not only because this will make the survey results more accurate, but because you may be surprised by their answers!)
