The Sexual Compatibility Project

Recruitment is now closed for the pilot study phase! Stay tuned for updates.
Researchers at Western University are looking for participants for a large-scale study on relationship experiences. Specifically, we are looking to recruit romantically attached individuals to learn about their perceived sexual preferences.
Note: People who are seeing someone very casually are still eligible for the study. If you stop seeing the person, no worries! Individuals in consensual non-monogamous relationships are also still eligible for the study.
This study is part of a series of studies to further investigate sexual similarity, sexual complementarity, and perceptual accuracy of sexual preferences, we hope that they will greatly improve our understanding of how people’s perceptions of sexual preferences may influence their sexual satisfaction and relationship quality.
