So, you’ve decided to take the plunge and attend a munch.
Excellent! The first step in getting out there and getting to know your fellow kinksters, your community, the perverts and strokers in your geographical region is to attend a munch. I highly approve of getting yourself hence to a munch and being social. That said, there’s a lot of confusion, misunderstandings and outright myths about kinky munches that I’d like to clear up.
What is a munch?
A munch is not a party. A munch is not a place to showcase your latest full cover latex bodysuit. A munch is not the proper venue to strip off your clothes and run around yelling “I’m a naughty stroker and should be punished!”
A munch is a social gathering, in a ‘vanilla’ or non-kinky, non-sexual location. The munch is where you get to meet up with people and make their acquaintance. The people who host parties, workshops and events will most likely be at the munch, and this is where you’ll find out from then when, where, how long, and other delicious details about the party or event of your perverted dreams.
What do I do at a munch?
At a munch, you will arrive, in ‘civilian’ clothes. You’ll locate the group, and be amazed by how normal they all look. You’ll get a drink (coffee shops and restaurants are popular venues for munches,) maybe something to snack on if you’re hungry, and pick a spot to sit. You will chat with people, you’ll smile and talk and there will eventually be information about the party of the month (or parties, who knows?) and then you’ll say ‘goodnight’ and go home.
What should I not do at a munch?
Well, when you’re picking a spot to sit, don’t pick one on the very outer edge and then refuse to make eye contact with anyone. Do not stare at the females at the munch’s tits. Do not make overly sexual overtures to people you’ve just met. Don’t assume all the females are submissive and all the males are dominant. Don’t touch people without their express consent, ditto their stuff. Don’t pick your nose in public.
In general, going to a munch can be stressful and fun.
You’re going to meet people you think are awesomely hot, as well as freakishly ugly. Try to remember your manners and don’t stare. It’s scary to go to a new place, knowing you’re going to be meeting up with people that society considers sexually deviant. It’s ok to take a buddy with you, so long as your buddy knows what sort of a munch you’re going to. (Don’t spring the unknowing on a munch, it’s not good for them, your buddy, or your reputation.) Being socially awkward is understandable, but pretend as hard as you can, for at least half an hour, that you know how to act in public. Just long enough to get the invite and directions to the party. The party is where you let it all hang out, not the munch.
Remember: you will never meet a real life Mistress unless you go to a munch first.
Even if she’s not at the munch, she could be at the party. And you don’t get to go to the party if you don’t go to the munch first. Prove you’re not creepy, weird, smelly, gross, socially unacceptable or overly strange, and you’ll be welcomed by a group of sexually interesting people.
I sometimes attend local munches. I’ve been known to attend munches in other cities, too. And, even if I don’t go to the munch in any given month, I will frequently attend the party anyway. You will never meet a Mistress like me if you don’t get up, go to the munch, and put yourself out there. So get up, go to the munch, and go find someone in your area!
If that doesn’t work, I’ll still be here to whisper teasing, taunting, sexually provocative things in your ears. And I’ll celebrate with you if you attend a munch, too.
