About Hedotype

Hedotype was made because we kept noticing the same gap. People talk about how they were raised, how they argue, how they apologise. They rarely talk about what closeness feels like to them — the texture of it, the cadence, what they actually want when they reach for someone or are reached for in turn.

We named fifteen patterns. We call them Hedotypes. Each one is a way that intimacy organises itself — not a category and not a verdict, but a shape that already exists in you and is worth being able to point at.

Why this is distinct from Sensotype

Sensotype names how you take in the world — the channels of perception. Hedotype names how you give and receive intimacy. They share a parent product and a research spine. They speak in two different registers because they are about two different parts of life.

The voice

We write for adults. We use the words that mean what they mean. We do not use wellness clichés, mystical framing, or clinical pathology. The reference points we pay attention to are writers who take pleasure seriously without cheapening it — Esther Perel, Mary Roach, Maggie Nelson.

What we do not do

Hedotype is not a dating product, not a kink quiz, and not a medical assessment. It does not diagnose. It does not prescribe. It reads a pattern and names it.
