Popular Post ma**** Posted May 29 Popular Post I have multiple Sclerosis and I am in a wheelchair. My legs will move most of the time but I can't stand. I want to attend munches and get involved in the community. I am currently unattached romantically. I am plus size so it makes lifting me a little more complicated. Are munches and events generally handicapped friendly?
Ma**** Posted May 29 Munches are generally at local restaurants so all normal conditions are available to you.
Li**** Posted May 29 I think that the community is pretty diversity-friendly. However it may be the venue that catches you out. Of the munches near me, four were up or down stairs (one has recently changed venue, so may not be now). I am sure that they would try to work around that, but the issue is often finding a venue in the first place.
Be**** Posted May 29 Some are, some aren't. Most munches are hosted in pubs, so it depends on the pubs accessibility. Ours for instance is mostly accessible, there is a tiny bump over the threshold but the event is in a side room downstairs with no steps and there is a wheelchair accessible disabled toilet. But it isn't always the norm.
W0**** Posted May 30 Most Munches and generally people in the scene are very understanding and willing to help. That’s been my experience
PixieDust Posted May 30 I have found most munches and events are disability friendly. However I will say as a wheelchair user myself, I find at times some access points can be challenging especially where the entrance involves steps or narrow doorways, particularly for larger electric wheelchairs such as the one I use. . For venues I have not visited before, I will usually check google maps street view to pre-assess access points and survey any potential barriers. I will also contact the organisers and or venue in advance to ask about alternative access options, such as a delivery or side entrance, if the main entry is unsuitable. . Additionally, I will also ask about movement within the venue itself, including whether I may need to navigate around chairs, tables or other furniture, and whether a floorplan is available that could be sent beforehand. These extra checks can make a significant difference and help provide reassurance and peace of mind regarding accessibility.
Go**** Posted May 30 I would literally give my services and piggyback you around if I was in the area lmaooo
Hezzair Posted June 1 Ah munch is a term used on Fetlife which is another kink site. It's a meet and greet. Don't ask me how it got the name. Popular in the US UK and Australia mostly
Sp**** Posted June 1 If you’re unsure of the origin of it’s name just use your imagination I don’t want to insult you but I’ve ran into some people on here who seem to thin skinned for the truth or don’t do blunt conversation

So it's an informal, usually public restaurant, pub, depending on the organiser (meeting-over-lunch is the original meaning I was told but they're often in the evening) gathering of kinky people for meeting new people, networking, and often a bit of vetting of newcomers before going to an event They're vanilla usually in the sense no one is turning up in leather or costume, no kinky activities etc If you've ever been in say a... dunno, kayaking club. Think of it as our version of a kayak clubs social events. You might talk about kayaking at it, but you don't turn up in your wetsuit and sit there drinking a pint 😉
Hezzair Posted June 5 Speaking to handicapped accessibility as a physical therapist, it completely depends upon the venue and the host/location. I live in the Philly metro area, so a good number of things around here are handicapped accessible but I know if I were to go to say the Jim Thorpe area up in the Poconos in Northeast PA, that would be a completely different story. Jim Thorpe is a wheelchair users nightmare. That is one of the least handicapped friendly towns anyone could visit. Side walks are old and uneven, there are stairs everywhere with no ramps or elevators, and almost everything is old enough that is gets a pass on ADA code. They have handicapped parking but the only thing it is really good for is riding the train.
Ta**** Posted June 14 Been in a wheelchair for a long time got out of that few years back after I got out of highschool
