There is some middle ground, though. Just having access to the results doesn't necessarily mean I myself am involved with such individuals. At least one of my group members knows about the website, so I could always get him to claim responsibility for setting up the survey.

But also, I really do plan to "out" myself, at some point in the future, via an art exhibit showing the things I've done to othes. So perhaps it wouldn't hurt to privately out myself to a professor.

And really, this process is already in motion. I've had my face on the site for over a year, and that was the real "stepping off the cliff" moment. At this point, it's very likely that a few people at my university know about Toxic Treat, although nobody's come up and admitted it yet. But it is only a matter of time before that happens-- I knew that as soon as I let pics go up. And having now decided to put up videos of myself, it's going to be even more likely soon.

I'm filling in the questionnaire now. This does remind me a lot of my Uni days!

I will look forward to finding out the results - and it is a little exciting as well as enlightening, imagining all these scenarios and rating my response.

Most directly, a personality test. People have been suggesting I make one up for some time, and now that I'm learning how "real" tests are made, it seemed like a perfect time to practice. There are a few other applications, but I can't disclose those until test time is over.

I'm from California, but I'm sure whatever university you are at, there are women just like me there. A certain percentage of women just seem to be born to be worshiped. And as for the rest-- the demand is just _so_ great, men go out of their way to try to create these relationships, that even women who aren't "naturals" quickly learn how much fun it can be to interact with the weakest sex.

Oh how cruel, halfway through and the web page expired.

Sigh.

I was short on time anyway so maybe it was for the best.

Will try again later.

...

A bit later, nothing like refresh to get it working. Survey completed. Now late for work and will get in trouble from the boss. Now that wasn't a scenario I remember in the survey.

Weakest? :lol: I don't think there's any 100% true answer to that conundrum.
Weakest need not refer to all men. I'd definitely include some women in there too.

And Weakness need not automatically entail "less-valued", although I have to admit that my mind often equates weakness and patheticness.

But who is to say which is best. Many of the great heroes of Western Society are revered from their passivity, self-sacrifice, and outright masochism-- Jesus and Gandhi come to mind as people who are often cited as glorified through their frailty and weakness.

I'm not sure Jesus or Gandhi are exactly renowed for weakness... in fact I think of them both as possesing strong convictions and seeing them through to the end. Jesus self-sacrificed of course, and both men preached pacifism, but each one defied an Empire and inspired strength and morals in generations of followers.

I think weakness is the wrong word for them. Certainly passivity and self-sacrifice as you say.

Hope that doesn't come across the wrong way. I'm rather an admirer of Ms Stafford's writing.

The actual historical Jesus was probably a David Koresh-like figure who thought the world was about to end any day, got together a ragtag group of illiterate hangers-on, stepped on some toes, and got executed for it. Messiahs were a dime a dozen back then, he wound up being the one we remember.

Far more interesting is the Jesus, say, of the Gospels, where dying was all part of the plan. To me, it's no wonder so many former catholic schoolchildren wind up on one side of the whip or the other. The whole religion screams BDSM-- a god who demands a man sacrifice his only son (although he did call it off at the last second). A Jesus whose whole purpose in life was to be beaten to a pulp and die. Original sin as a pre-existing condition-- where humans are automatically dirty and disgusting and deserving of infinite punishment unless they get some magic water and say the magic words.

It seems like a recipe to create submissive masochists, all dying for a divinity to step into their lives and hurt them and give them purpose.

Of course, there are always the odd ones out, who just don't fit the mould; you know the type-- the ones whose favorite bible character wasn't Mary but Delilah.

Those were quite some questions @_@. I didn't enter my mail-addy. But I do not require a result anways.

The whole scenario reminds me of some webteases, where the women tests you by teasing you.
Weakest? :lol: I don't think there's any 100% true answer to that conundrum. Men and women each have unique responses to sexual stimuli. And everybody is different. I don't think there is any sex that is weaker than another. Each individual has different responses, and different tolerances. It's like pain tolerance, or tolerance to psychological interrogation. Some resist, some capitulate, some just go insane. You can't judge an entire gender by stereotypical responses.
I think so too. Rating people by their gender is stupid.

I didn't leave an email.

Would be good for the over-all results to be put up on here though.

I don't pay too close attention to that portion of the site since Captioned Images don't interest me. I am not at all surprised that the people who submit captions to Toxic Treat are also Milovana members-- Milovana certainly seems to be the _definitive_ captioned image site, and whenever anyone emails me hoping for more captioned images, Milovana is always where I send them. Toxic Treat and Milovana do overlap, although I personally am more into psychological and life destruction whereas Milovana seems a little more focused on "teases".

When people submit captions, I don't myself mind if it's a "variations on a theme" or "inspired by" or somehow different than what is already out there-- frankly all captioned images seem pretty repetitive to my eyes (of course, captioned image aficionados have a far more discerning palate) . Repetition of themes is unavoidable, but a direct copy without permission is an absolute no-no. Bottom line is, if anyone's work has been put on my Toxic Treat without permission and they want it taken down from Toxic Treat, then down it goes.

Sophia,

I'm a graduate psych student and have been taking a psychological testing course this semester. It seems you have a handle on things with your survey, but if you need any help crunching some of the stats, I'm great with SPSS. It'd be an honor to help you, not to mention, I'm curious to see some of the results myself.

Wonderful! I had some loyal devotees lined up to do it, but I need my dweebs for other projects. Email me post haste.
