A social gathering where consenting adults practice kink or BDSM in a shared space, usually hosted at a private home, club, or dedicated venue with agreed rules for behavior.
People attend for the mix of community, exhibitionism, and the chance to scene with partners in an environment set up for it, from rope and impact play to quieter forms of power exchange. Many events begin with a briefing on rules and house safewords, and hosts often keep a designated monitor or dungeon master watching the room.
Worth knowing: Check the venue's rules and safeword protocol before arriving, confirm consent with anyone you play with, and arrange aftercare for yourself and your partner.
Also called: dungeon party, play space, private party, kink event, munches (social only), fetish club night, house party scene
