Etiquette

Munch etiquette:

Courtesy is extremely important. Respect other people’s boundaries, protocols and especially their personal space. Although many munch attendees will know each other well, please give a newcomer time to get comfortable with the group, the setting and all the new faces. Their attendance might have taken a lot of courage, so pay them the respect you would accord to someone you had just met in the vanilla world.

If someone says they came to socialize only, and that they are not looking for play partners, respect that boundary and don’t try to pick them up. Anyone who is “cruising” aggressively will be asked to leave.

Most people will introduce themselves with a first name or a scene name. Do not ask for more information (e.g. their family name, place of work, profession, etc.) We’re so used to asking what someone does for a living that this takes a real effort. Everything in a munch or other kinky event is confidential and is not to be taken outside. If you meet someone from the munch in the vanilla world, be discreet; do not recognize them especially if they are in the company of others. Respect other people’s vanilla privacy.

A munch is not a dating club. No one is obliged to match you with a partner. Most people will want to meet you several times and be around you for a while before considering a private meeting.

The HK Central Munch is not the place to negotiate professional BDSM exchanges. We ask that pro sessions are neither solicited nor arranged during the munch. We want to leave commerce outside our munch.

Please don’t bring or display toys or scene items (including handcuffs, whips, floggers, paddles, etc.)

Do not dress in exotic fetish attire! Munches are held in “vanilla” venues and we don’t want to wear out our welcome. (A collar is fine but if it has a leash hanging off of it, it’s not.)

Be sensitive to the presence of vanilla patrons in the establishment. Lower your voice when describing scenes or parties if vanillas are in earshot.

If you would like bring or invite a friend to the munch, be sure to check with the organizers first. Our intention is to welcome everyone with an interest in BDSM, but we reserve the right to deny invitations to anyone who does not respect our guidelines.

Please do not disclose or mention the venue of the munch in forums or other areas that are publicly viewable.

If you have any complaints or experience any problems at a munch or event, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
