Surveys would allow Randy to gather information from a large number of people about their sexual behaviors in a relatively short amount of time. It would also allow for anonymity, which may encourage participants to be more honest in their responses. Naturalistic observation and case studies may not provide enough data and an experiment would not be ethical to directly manipulate sexual behavior.
