Do YOU....munch?

[ey****]

among anything else

the second comment was someone asking what a munch was, this is answered on the first page

on the second page, someone asks what a munch was, this is AGAIN answered

on the third page, someone asks what a munch is - and yet again, this is answered

on this page it is asked yet again.   And by this point, even without google - even if the first post doesn't make sense, it's answered very quickly.   I know folk can't always read pages and pages of threads, but it's been asked and answered three times - and even after I lost patience 3 months ago someone answered YET AGAIN

 

First one, I can understand - but when it's answered literally within the first couple of comments...

when I google 'What is a munch BDSM' all of the first page is related to kink socials

And the first original comment on the thread is clearly about socials.  

You do know that no one is asking YOU personally. You can choose to just scroll past the questions.

I love to munch but haven't been able to do it as much as I wish

A munch, in the context of kink communities, is typically a casual social gathering for people interested in BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, Masochism). These events provide a safe, vanilla space for like-minded individuals to meet, socialize, and network without engaging in explicit sexual activities.

The primary goals of a munch are to foster a sense of community, allow people to get to know each other in a low-pressure environment, and educate newcomers about the lifestyle. Topics of discussion usually revolve around kink-related subjects, but can span a wide range of interests...

Yes I have gone to quite a few munches, including being a co-host to a few in the past. I lack a person who is happy to go to munches with me in their car right now, but that will change. 

Various munches have different themes which I have attended but at their core they are social mixers  of chat, drink and settling into friendships.

Some munches are a munch & play. (BDSM play toys are available to purchase and mutually consenting folks play together.)

Some are FemDom munches where those who like Dominant Women go to socialise (can be a bit meat market in vibe, which isn't my thing.) 

Some have tables so you sit, have dinner and chat and travel back together. 

Other munches that are in London City centres stay open late where music is turned up and turn into mini dance n drink times. So read each munch write up and message the munch organiser to find out further details. (Example The Camden Friday night munch.)

My advice though, is go with the view that you will chat to everyone, where you make the first step to speak. Even if it's an ice breaker "Hello, I'm new here." If you stick to one gender that isn't cool - munches are not dating pools.

You don't need an invite - most are held in public places and are purely socials for like minded people - simply find one local to you (either here, FetLife or Google will help you locate them), read the rules if there are any, and turn up if appropriate based on the Munch rules

Anyone out here point me in the right direction on this munchrukes

I used to attend munches and volunteer at play parties... then the culture shifted. The old guard retired from managing events and all the cliques started fighting for control. It did a lot of damage to the local scene.

I've never been to one, but must try it.

It's a meeting of like minded people, usually in a vanilla setting, like a bar,cafe etc.  No kink involved and in normal clothing attire.  Some have a meet and greet to new people, before the regulars arrive.  It helps ease those newbie nerves and they should help introduce you, so your not feeling awkward or like a wall flower.   One of the best ways to start dipping your toes in, and safest way.
