Frequently asked questions

What is a munch?

A relaxed meetup of people interested in BDSM and kink, usually in a bar or café, with no dress code and no play. A good way to meet people and learn how the scene works.

Current dates: munches & socials in Berlin

What is the difference between a play party and a fetish party?

At a fetish party, music, dancing and outfits come first. There are often play areas, but they are not the main point. A play party is focused on consensual play, usually with a smaller crowd and suitable equipment.
