My First Munch

Yesterday I went to my first Munch. I had heard about it on Fetlife as one of my friends there was organising it. It was an Under35's event in Oxford and although I looked at it I originally didn't even think about going. It was in Oxford and I was going to Oxford shopping once and I didn't think I could cope with twice let alone be allowed to.

Anyway after I got back from a successful afternoons shopping in which I had met up with a few friends from college, I suddenly heard myself telling Mummy that there was an opportunity to meet up with some people on Saturday and was it possible!! Even more unexpected was the fact she said yes! Having arranged plans to get me too and from the bus stop even though everyone seemed to be out or away I then realised actually what I had done.

I had agreed to go to a Munch.

I went back and properly read about it but didn't put whether I was going or not as I though it might jinx it! Anyway I ended up going, and it was really good fun. Although it was nerve wracking and as I didn't have my glasses on I had a bit of difficulty making out the troll that was proclaiming to one and all that these were the people that I was here to meet.

Immediately the problem of how to go over there, did I sidle over and enquire as to whether this was the Munch or did I walk straight on over and introduce myself? Having got a drink I did the latter, extremely brave of me and I was quaking on the inside, it was a bit awkward but maybe that was just me. After that though it was brilliant.

It was so good to actually meet some kinky people. They are normal! (I don't mean that in a bad way) I don't quite know why that surprised me but I also found I was relieved that actually people did do this stuff, it is all very well reading about it but you sometimes do slightly wonder whether it really does actually happen. And yet here were people talking about parties, clubs, Munch's etc. It was fascinating.

I actually met people who were kinky! Ok, I apologise for repeating myself, I still haven't quite got over it yet. Mind you I think I have met someone who is before as in my local tack shop there was a really nice pair of leather handcuffs - too big for me (I tried!), so someone must buy them or at least the person who makes them who I know might be into something.

I stayed for over three hours, I had only planned to stay for maximum two and had an escape plan if it was boring, or just plain scary, or just not my thing. But it went whizzing past, in the end though I did have a bus to catch and I was getting tired but I really hope that I can make it to the next one.

It was a really fascinating and great experience and one I would like to repeat. Good to hear other peoples stories, experiences and opinions and I can't quite believe that I had real conversation about porn in a pub at five o'clock in the afternoon (Don't quite know why time should matter but it was quite odd (a nice odd!) now I think back on it). It was good to do something physical about my interests in kink, it made it more real and this I think was a good thing.

So, my first Munch! Such fun and to be repeated hopefully!
