Welcome to my PhD Dissertation! For better navigation (and enjoyment!) 

please read this brief introduction.  

This Collection contains key portions of my PhD Dissertation –a structured, observational study 

of 44 practitioners of expanded orgasm (EO), in which I explore EO as an authentic (valid) path 

to transcendent states of consciousness.  

There are four documents here (part of the dissertation is NOT here ‐ history and background 

relating to the topic). Each document has the same cover pages which show the title page, my 

contact information, and a URL to my website where you can find lots more about EO.  

EO Dissertation 1: The abstract, tables, and part of the Summary/Discussion section 

EO Dissertation 2: The abstract, introduction, tables, and all of the Summary/Discussion section  

EO Dissertation 3: The detailed results section  

EO Dissertation 4: The survey tool I used to do the study 

This Dissertation was converted into PDF form in early 2000. Accordingly there are a few figures 

that did not convert very well or that have degraded; but these don't impact the text, logic, and 

flow of the document. Also page numbers reflect the original document.  

Enjoy! Patricia Taylor, PhD ("Dr. Patti")

Many of the questions in the survey questionnaire allowed the subject to give a response over a 

wide range (rather than just Yes/No). You have probably answered questions with a set of 

possible responses like this; for example the questionnaire makes a statement like “I like 

winter” and you are given a range of five possible responses (plus, often, a sixth possible 

response indicating that the question is not applicable to you or that you don’t know the 

answer). For example, 1 is Strongly disagree, 2 is Disagree, 3 is Neutral (or Neither disagree nor 

agree), 4 is Agree, and 5 is Strongly agree.  

This way of constructing a response set for a question is called a Likert Scale. For the Likert 

scale type questions in this questionnaire, I used the following possible response set:  

1 never or hardly ever true 

2 true sometimes 

3 true about half the time 

4 true most of the time 

5 true all of the time 

n/a no opinion or not applicable
