I am soon going to replace the poll on the front page of the site with another. I must be tired because I am struggling with the way to word it without causing offence to the "moral majority" that I tripped over in another place.

What I want to do is to ask people the age of their youngest sexual partner (poll to be valid for people of either gender). I want to ask what age they were/are when they had their youngest sexual partner, and the age of the partner.

The limitation of the sparklit polling system is that I either use a survey (capable of being answered multiple times because those lack security). If I use the Polls (a different product) they have good security (capable of being circumvented, but good even so), but I must make people aware that they should only take one poll.

I also need to work out what age groups.

My thoughts are 12 and under, 13-16, 17-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51+ for EACH end of the relationship.

I don't want ANSWERS to a poll here. What interests me is any ideas people may have on BUILDING the polls to make them EASY to understand and EASY to answer. Come to that I am struggling with the question!

The best I have so far is "How old were you when you had your youngest sexual partner" as a heading for a group of polls and then individual polls saying "I was (eg) 16-20, and my partner was [click button]" WILL THIS WORK, do you think?

		Maybe you should post links this time, not the actual poll, so those puritans don't feel offended! By: Guest on Sun, 20 January 2002 19:51
