Gap pattern

Talks the Fantasy, Craves the Sensation: Atmosphere (mind) on the outside, Direct (body) on the inside

“Talks the Fantasy, Craves the Sensation” is one of SM Personal Test's gap patterns between your Public face (the play style others see) and your Hidden face (the desire you feel). It describes people who are Atmosphere (mind) on the outside, Direct (body) on the inside.

Atmosphere (mind)Direct (body)Turn-on

What is this pattern?

In public you come across as the fantasy type, all contracts, lines and dirty talk, yet what you crave on your own is physical sensation: rope squeezing, wax dripping, the sting of a crop. Out loud you are telling the story, while inside you may be thinking, "So when do the ropes come out?" You have switches in both the mind and the body.

When it tends to show

This side tends to show up when your body reacts before your head does, such as when someone suddenly grabs your wrist, or you feel the drip of wax or the squeeze of rope.

Tips for living with it

Since you are good with words, try signaling yourself when it is time to move from talk to touch. Warm things up with dirty talk and land them with rope or an open palm, and you have your perfect combination.

How it is detected

You fall into this pattern when Turn-on alone switches from Atmosphere (mind) in the public face to Direct (body) in the hidden face. We only call it a flip when the estimated probability that the directions truly differ is 75% or higher; the other three axes keep their direction.

How types change in this pattern

What is your kink type?

From ordinary personality questions, we expose your Public face (the play style others see) and your Hidden face (the craving you keep to yourself) on the same axes. Holding the rope or tied up in it? Doing the teasing or begging for it? Adults only (18+), free, no sign-up, about 3 minutes for the quick test.
