How it's used
This term is a direct loan from the English abbreviation SM, which is the standard way to refer to sadomasochism in Hong Kong. It is used exclusively in casual, adult contexts and carries a blunt, matter-of-fact tone. While it is widely understood, it is considered private and inappropriate for professional or formal social settings.
