Free Sex Survey — Discover your Personal Erotic Myth 2.0
The Personal Erotic Myth (PEM) research survey is designed as an aid to bring your deepest sexual desires and fantasies into a more clear and nuanced view of this very integral aspect of your humanity.
A PEM is an inherent dimension of the sexual psyche that contains the who, what, where and how of the recurring elements and core themes prevalent within someone’s sexual fantasies. These specific elements distinguish what turns one on from what does not.
Learning to integrate your PEM and core sexuality into your everyday life can help deepen intimacy and sexual ecstasy in your relationships, help to address past shame, fear and trauma around your sexuality, and help to avoid erotic mismatches in on-going relationships.
Your participation is free and completely anonymous. The PEM survey data will aid our research into developing a new therapeutic psychological model called Sexual Integration Therapy (SIT). SIT intends to help people better understand how they can embrace and explore the depths of their sexual desires while resolving embedded shame, fear and past trauma that may inhibit their sexual pleasure.

The Assessment
Want to know your Sexual Integration Score? Take the Sexual Integration Method Sexual Assessment Questionnaire
The SIM Assessment is based on the various iterations of the original Discover Your PEM Sex-Research Survey. The PEM survey was used to gather data and insight for publishing my peer-reviewed journal projects. Over 10,000 people took the PEM survey.
Many found it a very helpful tool to discover more about the depths of their erotic pleasure and sexual fantasies, as well as examine the internal conflicts that may have resisted their fullest honest expression.
Now the original PEM Survey has been reconfigured and reintroduced as the FREE…
Sexual Integration Method Sexual Assessment Tool (SIMSAT).
The SIMSAT shifts emphasis from research to a personal assessment tool for sexual self-discovery, empowerment, and resolution of deep internalized conflicts.
It offers a structured but flexible, personalized format to help you assess where you are currently in your sexual journey, better understand where you want to be, and create a path to get there, step by step.
The assessment includes examination and discovery of the depths of erotic pleasure natural to you, examining developmental and sexual history, as well as identifying internal conflicts around your sexuality that may have disempowered your authentic sexual expression.
In order to integrate your authentic sexuality into your everyday life in a way that is in integrity with your values, agreements, responsibilities and relationships, it is also necessary to examine and address all the internalized conflicts that get in the way. This includes the fears, shames, traumas and harsh, internalized, moral judgments about your sexuality, embedded since childhood, that still inhibit or resist your honest, ecstatic sexual expression.
PLEASE NOTE: This SIMSAT includes pertinent, but also very personal questions about sexual desire and history, including a few general questions about any history of sexual mistreatment that may have occurred in one’s past. Please proceed or not as it is right for you at this time.

The Research
Background of the PEM
The Personal Erotic Myth (PEM) is a theoretical model developed from over 20 years of clinical experience and peer-reviewed sex research. The original PEM survey was taken by over 10,000 people and used to gather data on sexual fantasy, authenticity, and the impacts of shame, fear and trauma.
The SIMSAT is built on that foundation, refined and reintroduced as a personal assessment tool for sexual self-discovery and integration.
Some people are quite aware of their PEM. They may have caught glimpses of it, or more, well before puberty, even if they have yet to share it with another. Some may have already crossed the threshold of secrecy their sexual desire may have been held in, and are actively engaging their desires with a partner or partners. Some will have PEM’s that ebb, flow, evolve or shift throughout their sex life, or someone may have several distinct PEM’s. For many others, it is still an unconscious but compelling force, just below acknowledged awareness, that drives their sexual desire.
But during sex, in the moments right before orgasm, a profound shift can occur. I believe those blasphemies and primitive groans expressed just before orgasm are often just a “sound byte” from one’s PEM. The PEM is like a zip file, stored in the unconscious. It contains hours of content, that includes all the elements of a mythic erotic story, archetypal personas, counterpart personas, setting, history, attire, dialogue, body language, and props, among other things.
People knowing their PEM, and having the tools to communicate that honestly, may be able to create stronger bonds in their overall relationships, as well as a fulfilled and well-expressed sexuality. Therefore, understanding their PEM survey can help people learn to communicate their sexual desires more honestly and have better understanding of themselves to find compatible partners for their long term relationships.
