The top-level split is S (top) and M (bottom), eight types each, color-coded by four groups. Tap a type to open its page, play and all.
The ones who tie, tease and give the orders, and love watching their partner come undone.
The ones who get tied, teased and told what to do, and love coming undone in someone else’s hands.
Both S and M have all four groups. What turns you on (Atmosphere or Direct) splits top from bottom; the mind side then splits by temperature (Honey or Lash), the body side by pace (Grooming or Wild).
Turn-onAtmosphere (mind)
Turn-onDirect (body)
The 16 SM Test types are sixteen kink types defined by the combination of directions on four axes. They split first into eight S types and eight M types, and are then arranged into four groups, Mind Games, Fantasy Romance, Craft & Ritual and Primal, by what turns them on and the temperature or pace they like. Each type has a kink name and a poster: a devil from an old master's painting or engraving, redrawn as a low-poly portrait. The posters here use the daytime palette of the outer face, the play style others see; the night poster of the inner face, the you who fantasizes alone, is on each type's own page.
The four letters of a type code are its directions on these four axes. The first letter: S or M.
Atmosphere (mind) × Lash (cold)
The four Mind Games types tend to burn on working on the mind before the body, whether they are the ones doing it or having it done. A round-the-clock master-slave contract, weeks of permission-only release with a chastity key on a chain, trigger words planted in a whisper, humiliating orders and merciless insults: the fire starts in the head. Strict rules and sharp words give them more of a thrill than sweet comfort does. Because words can land harder than the other person was ready for, a clear stop signal and a list of off-limits words are the most important tools in the kit. The colder the game, the more the aftercare sets the great ones apart. Their posters are black and steel.
Within the group, the four types differ on S or M and Pace.
SS = Top: the eight S types
Keeps the chastity key in a pocket and holds the timing of release weeks into the future.
The Keyholder is a top who plays orgasm control as a long game. The partner wears a chastity device; the key stays with you.
Rewrites the inside of someone's head, one whisper and one trigger word at a time.
The Hypnodom is a top who plays with erotic hypnosis and improvised verbal domination. Lights down, voice matched to slow breathing: 'I'm going to count down from ten.
MM = Bottom: the eight M types
Signs over the whole day, every day, and melts into the simple fact of being owned.
The Total Slave is a bottom who doesn't want play to end when the night does: a TPE (total power exchange) type. Mornings open with 'Good morning, here is my report for today,' and meals and breaks need permission.
Turns bright red and melts the more they're scolded, laughed at and given embarrassing orders.
The Humiliation Junkie is a bottom undone by words and stares. ' Every answer gets laughed at, and the shame turns into heat.
Atmosphere (mind) × Honey (sweet)
The four Fantasy Romance types tend to get drunk on imagined scenarios and on control and surrender soaked in affection. A collar, a leash and "sit," dozens of rounds of edging delivered with a smile, the blush of being watched by an audience that agreed to be there, training paid off with treats: at the root of all of it is a sweet wish to cherish and be cherished. For many of them, the daydream before anything happens is the best part. The catch is that the ideal in their heads can climb so high that the real partner has a lot to live up to. Their posters are rose and blush.
Within the group, the four types differ on S or M and Pace.
SS = Top: the eight S types
Pours every ounce of love into a pet: training, treats and punishments alike.
The Doting Owner is a top who raises a pet sweetly and strictly. Give them a collar, set rules like 'Sit when you first see me in the morning' and 'Come within three seconds when called,' and log the hits and misses in a training notebook.
Serves up edge after edge, dozens of times, with the sweetest smile.
The Edging Master is a top who has perfected teasing and edging. Build them up slowly with your hands or a wand vibrator, and the instant their breathing goes shallow and their hips lift, stop dead.
MM = Bottom: the eight M types
Wants a collar, a 'sit', a treat, and the simple happiness of being kept.
The Human Pet is a bottom who wants to be kept as a pet while staying human. A collar with a name tag, a leash, and a little walk around the living room.
Melts at the fantasy of a crowd's gaze and at the daring look shown only to those who said yes.
The Exhibitionist is a sweet-natured bottom who dissolves in the shame of being watched. A private photo shoot with a lover: 'Look over here,' 'A little more,' and you pose on command.
Direct (body) × Grooming (ritual)
The four Craft & Ritual types savor physical sensation slowly, set on a track of routine and ritual. Hemp rope built up from a box tie all the way to suspension, low-temperature wax landing one drop at a time, kneeling to polish a pair of shoes: every step carries meaning for them. Accumulation beats momentum, and going a little deeper each time is the real pleasure. True craftspeople, they check fingertip color and numbness under the rope, keep safety shears within reach and know exactly how high to hold a candle, though unscripted turns may take them a moment to warm to. Their posters are hemp and amber.
Within the group, the four types differ on S or M and Temperature.
SS = Top: the eight S types
A craftsperson who takes a partner from box tie to suspension and turns them into a work of art.
The Rope Rigger is a craftsperson fired up by turning a partner into a living sculpture. Arms folded into a box tie, chest wraps lined up above and below, cinches locking the tension, then suspension lines on the hips and legs.
Drips low-temperature wax one drop at a time and melts a partner with heat and sweet words.
The Wax Master melts a partner by layering heat and sweetness in turns. Its tool is the low-temperature candle made for play.
MM = Bottom: the eight M types
Gets tied, lifted off the ground, and melts into every minute of not being able to move.
The Suspension Bunny is fired up by the whole process of losing its freedom one strand at a time and finally being lifted off the floor. It loves the ritual order: arms folded into a box tie (takate kote), chest rope cinching, a hip harness and leg ties, then the suspension lines going on.
Kneels at someone's feet, polishes their shoes, and gets drunk on worshipping them.
The Foot Worshipper is where service and a foot fetish line up perfectly. What lights it up is the whole ritual: kneeling as its partner walks in, easing off their shoes, washing their feet in warm water, then working oil from the arch up to the calf.
Direct (body) × Wild (impulse)
The four Primal types catch fire on whatever is in front of them, right there and then. The whistle of a riding crop and the marks it leaves, an open palm for a mouthy brat, the chase and pin of a pre-agreed ambush game (CNC), tickling someone who is tied down: instinct and momentum move before logic or planning do. The more unexpected it gets, the hotter they burn, so fixed routines can bore them. That is also why the Primal etiquette is a safeword short enough to blurt out, a no-words signal, and knowing which spots are never to be struck, all settled before the first move. Their posters are crimson and black.
Within the group, the four types differ on S or M and Temperature.
SS = Top: the eight S types
A predator who, inside a pre-negotiated game, chases, catches, and pins a partner down on raw instinct.
The Primal Predator is fired up by primal play: the chase, the catch, the pin. At its heart is CNC, consensual non-consent, a pre-negotiated 'ambush' game.
A sweet sadist who ties a partner down and tickles them mercilessly with feathers and fingertips.
The Tickle Torturer is fired up by immobilizing a partner and then attacking with laughter. Soft cuffs on the wrists and ankles, each tied to a corner of the bed, and once they are spread-eagle, the stage is set.
MM = Bottom: the eight M types
Collects the marks of a riding crop or paddle like medals pinned to the skin.
The Mark Collector is fired up by the pain of being struck and by the marks it leaves behind. Its favorite tools are the riding crop that stings one exact spot, the flogger whose many falls land with a heavy spread, and the paddle that hits with a deep, flat thud.
A genius at talking back and provoking until it earns a spanking.
The Spanking Brat is fired up by misbehaving until it gets punished. ' When its partner finally stands up, grabs its wrist, and pulls it over their lap, it feels like winning and losing at once.
