crumpets -> RE: What's kink like in your town? (1/8/2016 1:17:45 PM)

As promised, in "my" area (which I'll consider Silicon Valley, and not the Greater San Francisco Bay Area) we're probably lucky, in that we have almost always had a local dungeon and lots of munches (I think munches were invented here, in Palo Alto, if I remember correctly).

Currently the local dungeon is the South Bay Spot (973 Park Avenue, San Jose, California 95126), but it used to be Edges in Santa Clara (run by Alex and Allie in years past) very near the San Jose Airport, and before that, a place in Newark off of 880 whose name escapes me (an old timer may be able to reinvigorate my memory).

In addition, we have a plethora of periodic local munches, most notably the weekly Southern Cross Munch, which used to on Friday afternoons in Campbell but which moved to Coco's in Sunnyvale a while ago; and there is the weekly Wednesday Palo Alto Munch, which, despite the name, is no longer in Palo Alto, but also in Sunnyvale, at the Denny's at 311 Mathilda Avenue; and there is always the venerable First-Monday-of-the-Month San Jose Munch, which used to be at a Pomodoros, and now it's at the Dennys in San Jose at First and Brokaw.

There are also a few less-well-known periodic meeting groups such as the SoBad & D/s Discussion Groups (South Bay Discussion group) which meets the second & third Sunday of every month at Coco's Bakery Restaurant, 1206 Oakmead Parkway Sunnyvale.

On the FemDome side, there are a few local groups that meet sporadically, such as the Silicon Valley FemDom/masculine sub Munch, and the just-as-sporadic LiP/s (Ladies in Power Over Subs Munch which used to meet at the Sonoma Chicken in Campbell (but I don't know where it meets now, and it isn't worth finding the link to make it easy for you to find it 'cuz the link will just get dropped).

Lastly, there are pay-for-fetish decidedly non-prostitution houses on the way up to (but well before) San Francisco, most notably The Backdrop Club near the Costco just off of 101 in Mountainview, and, The Gates across the bridge from San Francisco, in Oakland.

EDIT: Damn. Aauurrgh! I lost ALL the perfect links I painstakingly added for each event, to make it easier for folks to click to find them. Jesus. Can the clearly inept (or, maybe just volunteer high school kids?) CS computer staff make it ANY HARDER to post a decent response? (It's really not worth trying to post decently.)

ladypact i spoke for all of Scotland and i think my numbers were of clarity. Nor did they ramble about the the demographics of the 1/1000 attending munches and clubs

FLORIDA ROCKS!!!

I used to live in Sarasota and that put us within a short drive of Tampa, Clearwater, Orlando, Brandon, Port Charlotte & Ft Meyers. Tons of private parties, several dungeons and at least one event close by every weekend. That doesn't include the BDSM parties at private sex positive clubs like Phoenix Club or Lifestyle Explorers.

Nowadays I live just outside Orlando and we have the Woodshed. That place is very big and extremely active with play parties every weekend and workshops or meetings during the week. I've seen workshop/demos from Team Fluffy, Raven Kaldera & Joshua Tenpenny, Master Obsidian and Slave Namaste and more.

Florida is pretty active and kinky in general. I also believe we have more nudist colonies than anywhere else in the world and there are more swingers clubs than I can count. Below is a very old out of date BDSM event calendar from my last back up (2005) of sarasotasociety.com. But it gives you a glimmer of how active the area is. It doesn't list far away Pensacola or parties our group didn't occasionally attend.

Two hours to either Albany or NYC. Local munch and rope group about 45 minutes away. Main focus at the munch is what kind of pie you're getting that day. They have a long list.

There's a little dungeon up the mountain from us. But the woman who owns it runs it badly. No DM, she supports anyone who sucks up to her. This included a creep who used it to prey on women, take them into a back room for a private session and then rape them. She threw out the subs he did this to and allowed him to stay until almost everyone had left her group.

The scene in London is huge. From munches to out and out orgy play! I know a few dungeon owners, with the prices for sessions dropping down to about 30GBP per hour in Central London and the average being about 50GBP.

I seem to have spent more time out of London in Europe though. Places like Germany are just AMAZING! I really liked some of the dungeons that I stayed in. (They run the dungeons like hotel rooms.) Romania has a lively scene which is really gaining prominence thanks to the efforts of the local kink community.

St. Pete, FL also has a Munch once a month too. The groups main page is on Fetlife. We have gotten a descent crowd showing up every month.

I will 2nd the vote for Germany. Very clean, very well equipped, very professional and very friendly has been my experience there. One cool thing I like about their dungeons is you typically only pay for the time you are with the Domme. Many will do a 50/50 split if you like longer sessions. You might do a 4 hour session. In that time the Domme will come and play for a while but then stop and leave for a bit (think tease/denial). Actual time with the Domme in the room would be 2 hours. Actual time you spend tied up is 4 hours. And you only pay for the 2 hours the Domme was present in the room with you. I have even done a 25/75 split when doing extended mummification scenes.

I can't speak for the kink side of things, but in my last few trips to Germany (admittedly, almost a decade ago), what I loved was that street in Munchen where you pay something like 60 euros to get in, and that's it as I recall. You drink as much as you like (although I'm not a big drinker, so, that just whiles away the time) as the ladies flit about. You choose one, and you go upstairs, and have your fun. I don't remember if she is extra or not (my oh my, my brain is losing it - but I don't think there was any extra, as I recall).

I found a tall thin Czech lady .... twice my height it seemed ... very statuesque ... I think my nose was to her breasts, as I best recall ... standing tip toe ... but I made sure that EVERY trip I went to her. She gave me her phone and email (saying she wasn't supposed to), which, I guess, she does more than with just me so I wasn't all that flattered. I brought her a dress the last time, and she wore it for me.... oh ... such fond memories. I should have invited her to come to the USA ... but alas ... I didn't even think of that until way later ... SLAP! SLAP! stop it!

Whew! Oh, where was I? Oh yeah. Kink in Munchen.

Naaah. Don't know nuthin' 'bout it.
But at least they're not prudes like they are in the USA!

The kink scene has certainly improved since I moved to NW Montana. We used to have to drive 120 miles to get to munch which we only did maybe twice each summer. We tried to start a munch in our town but it's difficult if you are only living there half the year. Finally someone moved to town who was able and willing and had experience to run a year round munch. A dungeon was built so we could have play parties. Depending on weather, fishing conditions, the rodeo, and hunting season there will be anywhere from 4 to 20+ at munch and parties. Parties are now 2 minutes from home and munches 5 minutes from home instead of 2 1/2 hours.

We do have something that I think is unique. The dungeon is a huge 18' by 50' tent built on a wooden platform. There are 2 wood burning stoves to make the place comfy during a Montana winter.

We spent many years wintering in Yuma. Again, with only being there half the year it was difficult to get a munch going. No one lived in a place that could host parties (motor homes, apartments, etc.) We could find no place available to rent. When we wanted to play in a dungeon atmosphere we had to drive to Phoenix or Tucson. Fetlife made a big difference. People were able to locate us. Munches started to grow and someone moved to town who was willing to keep the munches going in the summer. The group has grown by leaps and bounds now. They have munches, parties, movie nights, sloshes, karaoke nights, and even a dirty book club. Sadly we no longer live in Yuma. We had to move closer to Phoenix due to Gary's health issues. Basically the doctors in Yuma didn't know how to take care of a transplant patient properly.

Now we're just out of Phoenix. There something going on every night of the week here. Funny, now that we have lots of events and munches we can go to, we just don't. Oh, we get to a munch once a year but that's about it.

The tent thing sounds so cool. That is a dedicated group of kinksters!




sunshinemiss -> RE: What's kink like in your town? (1/13/2016 5:15:36 PM)

We've evidently got a tourist industry.http://lacasadelassombrasbdsmquito.com/2015/06/29/478/

No fair, I cannot read Spanish!

Edited to ad
Though I can clearly see the word BDSM a lot
