Great write-up on our new paper!

[York University News @YorkUnews]

"When people were encouraged to see planned sex as something intentional, exciting, and caring, rather than desperate or boring ... it completely changed the experience," writes PhD Candidate Katarina Kovacevic about her new study. https://t.co/3sAjprKhHA

@Prolific @Prolific we are still waiting for support in resolving this issue. What do we have to do to get a timely response or a phone call? You told us you support this type of research but we have had many issues and cannot get quick or helpful responses

[Amy Muise @AmyMuise]

@Prolific, we are running a study on your platform and are unable to receive a prompt response from your help center. You claim to run couples' studies, but you have many barriers in place and are not providing adequate support. How can we get in touch with someone who can help?

[Amy Muise @AmyMuise]

@Prolific @Prolific we are having this same issue again and it is greatly delaying an active study. You say you support the collection of dyadic data, but your systems are not well set up for this, and we keep experiencing issues. We need a speedy response on this!
