A munch is an informal meeting of people interested in [about=BDSM]BDSM[/about]/[about=fetish]fetish[/about] - an opportunity to meet like-minded people, talk, find out about good [about=clubs]clubs[/about] or fetishy [about=shops]shops[/about], pass on advice. For many, it's their first foray into the scene. Most munches take place in pubs or similar "ordinary" venues. They're almost always "[about=vanilla]vanilla[/about]" - i.e. ordinary clothes and no play. You can find out about munches taking place local to you by looking online - for instance at [url=http://www.lfshosting.co.uk/calendar/]LFS calendar[/url]. Oh - and the men always seem to drastically outnumber the women... And since you ask, the daft name was an American invention.
