From the Paper:

"Sexuality is an issue that affects all in the society who therefore form the population in the research. Due to the diversity presented by the society an all-inclusive approach is impractical thus the use of a convenience sample in data collection (Gorard, & Taylor, 2004). The internet has over the years been used as an information highway where people are free to express their views. Furthermore, use of the internet display high levels of confidentiality thus the reliability of the findings is high. The questionnaire is designed and using internet programming languages it is embedded in a number of sites following a written and approved request for research. The period within which the questionnaires will be embedded in the site is determined by the systems administrator though a request in made for a period of not less than four days."
