In addition, the participants commonly also bring their own tools with them, such as sex toys, cuffs, whips, costumes, and so on.
As a rule, there’s a strict etiquette during the party, which include not to touch anyone or their equipment and tools, and not to perform sexually explicit activities such as having sexual intercourse.
A BDSM Play Party can be an excellent and safe opportunity for those who want to know more about BDSM practices.
Comparable to a BDSM Play Party is the so-called Fetish Club, which is a kind of nightclub or bar for people/customers who are interested in fetish and BDSM activities.
The Fetish Club may only be a meeting place to socialize, but some clubs also have a designated area for Fetish Play or BDSM Play, which may be suitable either for the visitors to play in themselves or solely to present “fetish shows.”

A Munch is an informal community get-together of people interested in BDSM, kink, and fetish practices and alternative lifestyles. The gathering takes place in a neutral setting, such as a pub, restaurant, café, or bar, and the visitors generally don’t wear fetish, kink, or BDSM specific clothing.
The Munch participants come together to get to know each other, to make friends, to learn more about BDSM and such, to socialize and have a good time, have conversations and discussions (not only about BDSM, kink, and fetish), and to eat and drink.
The number of people attending a Munch may vary widely, and can be anywhere between five and fifty people, for example. Keep in mind that Munches may be organized for specific groups, such as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, pet players, dominants, specific ages, and so on. Therefore, if you want to join a Munch, it’s important to know beforehand what sort of Munch you will be visiting to avoid disappointments.
