  • I live in a red town near the exact center of nowhere. Across the river is an equally small university town, which has 3 recurring events on fetlife. It’s all underground because of the local Christian majority. I’m not even sure if that town has a gay bar.

    One of the groups is exclusively for university students, which I am not. Another group meets at a bar, but the bus schedule prevents me from attending the entirety of it. Finally there is the munch, the only notable bdsm gathering within 50 miles. So far as I’ve seen, they don’t organize play parties but rather commute across the state to a place so remote there’s no cell reception.

    Back around 2018, there was a munch in the red town. They disbanded because of low attendance or perhaps substance abuse or other elements. (There’s something in the water here.)

    I’ve never organized an event, but I’ve been to a few and met some interesting people. Now that I’m stuck in a town that’s 5% of the size needed for a healthy kink scene (or even basic infrastructure) I’m riding the bus a lot and going to everything I can. I’m not in my 20s anymore. I’m feeling anxiety I didn’t feel at my peak. Honestly, people in my area are (ఠఠ益ఠఠ) gross and that makes it difficult to find anyone I could have a relationship with, let alone a 24/7 dynamic.
