在这篇文章中，我们描述了使用互联网进行在线同步采访男同性恋者的经验，互联网寻求性和barebacking，使用解释现象学分析（IPA）。然后，我们提出了一个单独的IPA的结果，我们在研究过程中遇到的问题。分析主要集中在四个高级主题：积极的体验，技术问题，边界和要求/期望。我们认为，在线定性研究是有价值的，在其本身的权利，并大大超过困难的优势。在访问可能不参与其他类型研究环境的个人以讨论否则难以谈论的经历时尤其如此。在更传统的研究中存在问题的几个问题仍然存在，尽管以不同的形式存在，但这些问题必须放在研究谁或研究什么以及为什么的背景下，并且可以通过更具创造性的方法和深思熟虑的准备来克服。
In this article we describe the use of the Internet to conduct online synchronous interviews on gay men's experiences of Internet sex-seeking and barebacking, using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). We then present the results of a separate IPA of the issues we encountered during the research. The analysis is focused around four superordinate themes: positive experience, technological issues, boundaries, and requests/expectations. We argue that online qualitative research is valuable in its own right, and that the advantages considerably outweigh the difficulties. This is particularly true in accessing individuals who might not participate in other types of research settings to discuss experiences that would otherwise be too difficult to talk about. Several issues that are problematic in more conventional research still apply, albeit in a different guise, but these must be situated in the context of who or what is being researched, and why, and can be largely overcome with more creative methodologies and considered preparation.
