In the spring of 2005 Hürriyet Newspaper commissioned the TNS PIAR Marketing Research Company to conduct a comprehensive sex survey of the Turkish people. As a result, TNS PIAR established a field team of interviewers consisting of 95 women and 106 men -- a total of 201 intimate merchandising researchers.
In face to face meetings lasting between 40 and 60 proceedings each, the team after interviewed 2908 men and women, aged 13 and above -- a representative cross-section of the general public from the 17 provincial centers of Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa, Kirklareli, Manisa, Denizli, Adana, Antalya, Konya, Kayseri, Samsun, Trabzon, Erzurum, Malatya, Diyarbakir, and Gaziantep.
In addition, the opinions and comments of celebrities (who were brave enough to be interviewed) were also recorded. Once completed, the research data and findings were subjected to the close examination of sex and polling experts -- whose opinions were also incorporated into the study before the final research report was prepared.

The research unsuccessful to investigate Turkish sex from seven-fold angles -- and enclosed topics that are still considered taboo, shameful, forbidden, or sinful in Turkey.
