According to Swinging Mamma, bdsm parties offer kink lovers an intimate and safe environment to explore their inner kink. However, she warns not to gawk or leer at a scene in progress. It is rude and could lead to a scene reversal or even assault.
It is also important to be properly dressed and hydrated. Alcohol can be a social lubricant, but don’t get too smashed; excessive drinking can put your scene at risk.
Dungeons
Dungeons, whether in private homes or public spaces like fetish studios, office space and sometimes even warehouses, are the core of a BDSM party. These play rooms are outfitted with various devices and decor to provide a setting for kinky scenes, including sex toys, arousal aids and bondage furniture. Some have special dress protocols that can range from all-black to fetish clothing, and some are geared toward specific role play or fetish play. Guests can participate in or just watch, and most play parties have dungeon monitors who are there to answer questions.
While dungeons have a reputation as intimidating places to visit, the kinky people who attend often make for a friendly and welcoming group. The same rules of etiquette that apply to a regular party, like respecting other attendees’ boundaries and not gossiping, apply to these settings. A person can leave at any time if they feel uncomfortable, and DMs will usually ask them to do so if it’s not obvious.
Some BDSM scenes, particularly those that involve violence or sex, can be triggering for other people in the room. For that reason, some DMs are wary of allowing high-risk people into their spaces. But others argue that ostracizing those with PTSD or other mental health issues could have dangerous consequences, and that it’s important to take the risk to help people who need it.
Toys
There is no doubt that the toys are one of the most important parts of a bdsm party. This is because a kink party involves bondage, discipline and power exchange, as well as sex and sadism. This can be a very fetishistic form of play, and some people even find it very sexual. However, the key is to choose toys that are safe and comfortable for everyone involved.
Non-obvious sex toys are an excellent choice for this purpose, as they look like regular items that would be in a bedroom and don’t give away the fact that they’re designed for sex. These include paddles, floggers and canes. The best bdsm toys are padded and made from materials that are soft on the skin. They also have wrist straps so that the paddle can be securely gripped and used for scenes.
Depending on the venue, you may also see people being spanked or flogged, or even tied up. It is often a very kinky and freeing experience to be both the bottom and the top in such situations.
For this reason, it’s essential to bring your own toy bag with you to a bdsm event. A toy bag is a great way to store your nipple clamps, rope and other items so they’re not scattered all over the place! You can even get a bag with side pockets to hold small accessories and toys, such as nipple clamps or clothespins.
Socialising
If you’re a beginner at BDSM, the socializing aspects of a play party can be intimidating. Getting ready properly can help you feel more confident and comfortable. This is especially true if you’re attending your first dungeon event. For starters, make sure you wear something sexy and appropriate to the atmosphere of the party. Also, remember to eat and stay hydrated; kink expends a lot of energy and adrenaline, so you’ll want to avoid an intense crash later on.
A kinky play party can be a fun way to get to know people in the kink community. However, it’s important to have a clearly established safe word before you enter a club or a play party. Using a safe word will let you stop any play that isn’t right for you. It’s also important to remember that you should only engage in play at your skill level. Otherwise, you risk endangering yourself and others.
BDSM parties can be huge events or small, private gatherings. Regardless, you should expect to see a wide variety of toys. Some will be provided by the venue, while others are brought by party-goers. You’ll also likely see kinky furniture, such as spanking benches or St. Andrew’s crosses, and a room filled with people wearing kinky clothing. Many party-goers will be willing to give you a tour of their toy collection and explain why they like certain toys.
Drinking
Many kink-related events, including munches, do not allow drinking. However, some do have a BYOB policy. It is always wise to be aware of any venue rules prior to attending. It is also important to remember that the venue is a shared space. If you have a drink, it is important to clean up afterwards to avoid any cross-contamination. If you have a drink and want to play with someone, make sure that they are also sober. It is not safe for either of you to be intoxicated while playing kinky.
Another thing to keep in mind is that people at a BDSM party are very diverse. They can be of all ages, races, and classes. Some of them even cross-dress or are transgender. It is not uncommon for people from different industries to meet at a munch and then exchange contact information.
Depending on the venue, some munches may include large showers that have a single drain in the center. These showers are not used for bathing, but for blood play. Some people find the sight, taste, and texture of blood erotic and sensual. Others find the pain of extracting blood sexually stimulating. Some kink enthusiasts also use a small amount of blood to simulate vaginal play. Typically, this activity is done with the permission of the victim.
