A
Brief History of Munches
The Munch has become a way to meet folks that are into
BDSM in an informal and hassle-free environment. Usually the setting for a
"munch" is a restaurant or coffee shop or similar environment. Munches have
become a common occurrence nationwide (and in a few cases...worldwide) thanks to the
Internet.
However, some of you may not know that the custom of Munches (aka
"BurgerMunches") started here in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the early 90s,
occasionally there were informal dinner gatherings of Bay Area folk into SM, but these were
sporadic and not regular events. One day (sometime around April, 1992), a woman named
STella who posted regularly to the Usenet newsgroup, alt.sex.bondage, posted an article to
the group saying she would be at Kirk's in Palo Alto (a hamburger take-out restaurant)
that evening and that anyone wishing to join her was welcome.
She felt that it would be useful to have a regular weekly predictable get-together, so
that folks would not have to remember which day, what location, but could just head on
over to the same place at the same time every week. Several people did show up that night
and hence the concept of the Munch was born.
