Since someone suggested WAM might be dying out, this is an informal poll to see where we generally stand.

The poll looks all fucked up now.

Yeah, suddenly I'm 46-50 which means I'm actually dead and buried, and risen as a zombie.

Maybe it's because all the Hawaiian wammers aged 20 years in 38 minutes this morning?

The poll was edited to protect the sensitivities of some.

Well now I'm younger than I used to be, so I guess I have to go get a new driver's license? Busy week coming up too, fuck.

I want to point out that my original post was a discussion on 'COULD' WAM die out

I never said it was going to die.

It was a discussion topic that's still going.

WAMmers could be bred in captivity, tagged and released into the wild after, say, 18 years or so.

For a more definitive look at the age distribution, I've got a screencap of the demographic breakdown of the viewers on my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmeQO_ICqtzjuwVY8I6fdEA). This represents 3.7m views over a 2 year period.

Clearly, there is definitely a younger audience interested in WAM. It seems that they are not heavily represented on the Messy forum of the UMD though, which makes sense. Younger viewers are less likely to participate in forums.

Caveats:
My content is largely Chega Mais/Domingo Legal based (therefore largely gameshow/pies).
This is based on views. Some age groups may view videos more than others.

[Image removed--sorry, it showed demographics that we don't allow here or promote as being our viewers. Thanks for sharing tho. -MM]

My wife was pointing out, there's been a bit of a craze around making and playing with slime in the last couple of years. We're talking childhood play rather than anything fetishy, but it wouldn't be so surprising if some of that generation got into playing with more, and in different ways, as they got older (much as movie quicksand or TV gungings were a formative influence on many here). So perhaps WAM is unlikely to die but the the influences on it will change with time.

Well sure, fetishes don't generally start as a sexual act. When I was walking around a construction site with a girl friend (just a friend), and we started walking about through piles of cement, that wasn't sexual. When I was in elementary school playing hot potato with pies, that wasn't sexual. But things like that, combined with tv and hormones made it into something else.

Hey, captivity doesn't sound too bad. Three squares, and place to sleep. Bonus, I get to breed!

Sadly I don't think it'll involve the likes of us. There'll be a new Messygirl venture called Messygirl Stud Ranch. Veteran producers such as Mud Mad Phil, Lenny Sorge and Professor Treacle will be invited to perform these prodigious rutting duties.

I also got shuffled into a different age group than I selected for myself in this poll (based on where it says (my vote) in the poll above). I think something went very wrong with this poll and the results are terribly suspect.

Yeah, sorry about that, I guess that's kind of my fault. I thought it might be problematic to bring up the presence of minors on a kink site, but didn't think it would stop the poll working.
Still, before that it was looking like a much more even distribution than I'd expected, which is interesting.

Someone might have pointed this out, so forgive me if this repeats someone else's post.

This poll is at best a snapshot of current users here. It self-selects in many many ways. More importantly, it cannot tell us anything about trends. People may be slightly older here because those are the people who have been here/on the internet since early in it's inception and have different habits as to which sites they participate in and how.. and it may very well be that people become involved in this particular community when they get older despite being into wam for years and wanting to ignore that fact or they may simply not realize they are into it until later in life.

So, let's not announce the death of WAM just yet.

I showed data from my YouTube channel demonstrating this. More than 50% of the general WAM population is younger than 34, while the large majority of the UMD population is older than that.

Additionally, about 10% of wammers seem to be lesbian (across all age groups!), which is another interesting tidbit and is considerably higher than the 4% of the general population that identifies as gay.

ABGamma, props to you for saying in your first post: "Caveat: This is based on views. Some age groups may view videos more than others."


But it seems like you kind of forgot your frame of reference in your second post in this thread (as quoted immediately above). Here you are equating your YouTube viewers with "the general WAM population" and making the UMD a subset of the WAM population. Certainly the latter statement is true, but your YouTube viewership is also only a subset of the general WAM population too.... and not necessarily a bigger one than UMD membership.

You've got about 2,500 subscribers and I think that is roughly the amount of UMD members. (Not sure the latter number is made public or not. Quite a few years ago I remember MessMaster reporting that the UMD had a bit over 2,000 members, and I'm assuming that number has grown at least a bit in the interim). Of course, there are numerous unsubscribed/non-member "lurkers" for both your channel and the UMD.

I have no way to know how many page-views the UMD has had over the past 2 years, but I would be surprised if the total wasn't over the 3.7 million views your channel has had in that time. Also, it seems exceedingly likely that your YT channel has gotten a lot more non-wammer traffic than the UMD (Based on the fact that YT is one of the most popular websites in existence while the UMD probably doesn't crack the top 10,000, and the fact that the UMD opens with a statement about adult content and a request for adult age verification. It's easy to imagine quite a few people randomly stumbling across your videos while looking at other non-WAM content on YouTube, whereas someone has to really seek out the UMD, and they cannot enter it without awareness that it is an adult fetish site.)

I'm not trying to argue that more people have viewed the UMD than your YT channel over the last two years, but it certainly seems likely that viewership numbers are at least comparable and that a lower percentage of your viewers are actually wammers. None of this means the info on your viewership isn't meaningful; of course it is. But it is surely a fallacy to equate your viewers with the "general WAM population."



Since the image displaying your demographics was removed, I have to ask if it was 10% of all your viewers who are lesbian, or 10% of all female wammers?

Good grief.

My actual age is -75. My dad isn't even swimming around in my grandpa's ballsack yet!

Can we just close this trainwreck and try again?

I'm 41. About 9 mentally.

How many Tide pods have you eaten so far?

I would like to think I'm smarter than american kids.

(singing) This is the dawning of the age of Wamnarious....age of Wamnarious....

GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!

I was going to respond to all of this, but I'm going to just make a new post detailing all the analytics from my YouTube page. There's a ton of stuff to talk about from the data there.

Don't Canadians eat maple syrup poured over snow as a dessert?

I'd be very interested to read such a post, so I really hope you follow through on this.

Damn, Leila, if you're not offering customs where you just dunk on guys, you should.

I've been doing a lot of femdom sessions recently, is it that obvious?

Hmmmmm.
