The BDSM Checklist
Introduction
The BDSM Play Partner Checklist is a convenient way of finding out where someone's
interests lie. Just because someone's a Dom/me, it doesn't mean that every sub
is perfect for them, or vice-versa. The checklist allows you to let people know
both whether or not you've participated in a given activity before and also how
you feel about it. It's a great way of getting a basic feel for where someone's
limits and squicks lie, though - of course - it's no substitute for taking a
lot of time to discover a partner's limits gently and safely and shouldn't be
used as such.
The "New" BDSM Checklist
Two years ago, when we
created the original checklist, we had no idea how popular it would be. With
that popularity came a lot of different ways in which people have wanted to use
the information. Some of them we were able to add relatively easily, hence the
addition of things like the Suggested Scene and Compare Lists pages. Other
things proved a lot harder with the way everything was structured.
So, rather than try forcing
additions on to a list that did not support them, we kept a list of all of the
wishes, all of the good ideas - and the bad ones - and waited until we felt we
could design something that either provided everything, or provided a framework
on to which we could continue to add to.
To see all of the new
features, check out the New Features link on the left. It is a long list and
one we are very proud of.
The Pages
Register
This page allows you to
create an account to use on the system.
Log In
Once you have an account,
you can log in, whenever you want, here.
My Profile
This is the main page for
your account. It lets you handle everything from controlling access to filling
out new lists and emailing your checklist on to others.
Public Answers
This page contains a list of
all of the people who were kind enough to make their checklists public. You can
find your friends here or simply look to see what other people are in to for
proof that you are not alone.
Answers
This page lets you view the
answers for any given user. If a friend has filled in a checklist and given you
their username, go to this page and type it in to view their list. Of course,
if they are password protected, you’ll still have to enter the password before
viewing them.
Compare Answers
If you want to take a quick
look to see where your partner and you match up and where you don’t, you can go
to the Compare Answers page. Now you can see your lists with one Dominating and
the other submitting (and then vice-versa, beneath), lined up next to each
other, as well as a calculated compatibility score.
Once you have checked for
yourself and your partner, you can always go and compare your list with that
friend you have been considering playing with, or your subs with a Dominant you
were considering loaning them to.
Suggested Scenes
Should you wish to, you can
use the information stored in a checklist to generate a suggested scene. Paying
attention to what is and isn’t enjoyed, scenes can be generated for Doms, for
subs and even for couples, based on both their tastes.
Lies, Damned Lies And Statistics
If you are wondering how
some of the numbers and conclusions the site comes up with are generated, this
page should explain the theory behind them.

about all of the new things that this checklist does that we are so proud of.
