A common problem, how to get started in Fetish. Best place to start I guess is to meet people with the same interest as you, so you can discover and refine those interests. The best way I have found, is to meet people at your local Munch . These are gatherings of people, often inexperienced along with experienced in a location, often a restaurant or other non-lifestyle establishment. These gatherings are geared toward giving people a chance to explore their interests and meet new people in an atmosphere that is safe, and does not label them as being associated with an alternative lifestyle. In fact, alternative dress is usually discouraged to maintain this protection. Check with the organizers of your local munch to find out their particular restrictions. You can find contact info on our Munch page and I'm sure the organizers of your local munch will take it from there. If we have missed a munch group or if you of contact info that has changed, please help us to keep our links current.

    If you are chatting with people online that you are thinking about meeting in person, please follow some of the rules here. They will work to keep you safer from harm. Once you have decided to proceed with play with an individual, you should consider filling out a Fetish Consent Form.

    If you already know what you are looking for, and are just not sure how to find a special person to explore it with, there are several avenues you can explore. You might just want to join the chat here on AOL, if you have an account, Special Interests -  Kink Party Tampa . Or you can access some of the other resources that the Internet has to offer, such as placing a free or premium ad with an online service World's Largest BD/SM, Fetish, Alternative Lifestyle Personals Directory . You could also consider and alternate website with similar services Bondage.com. You might also consider taking advantage of the many yahoo groups dedicated to the local and national lifestyle such as:
