Sexology has been data-starved for a century because human desire hides from observers. Kinsey interviewed ~18,000 people face-to-face in the 1940s-50s and nobody has matched that scale since. Ogas and Gaddam argue that anonymized search queries, erotic story submissions, and click-through patterns are a better signal of what people actually want than what they'll admit to a researcher. The internet is the first instrument that observes desire without the social-desirability filter of self-report.
