It is an informal meeting organised every month in the city of Ljubljana attended by people who practice or are interested in BDSM and KINKY sexuality in general.
The meetings are open to anyone, regardless of sexual orientation or identity.
The main objective is to be a local reference point for those who want to get closer to BDSM and for those who want to socialise, exchange experiences and become better informed.
The event takes place in a public space, usually a bar or restaurant, in a space adapted to ensure sufficient privacy for the participants.

The idea arose one evening from the realisation that Ljubljana was the only European city not to have an organised monthly munch. The importance of munches has been repeatedly verified by organisers from all over the world, firstly to enable the spread of the correct BDSM culture, and secondly as a local community of reference for those wishing to approach and discuss BDSM topics.

The meeting place is at a venue in the city of Ljubljana, easily accessible by public transport and car. It can change from time to time to ensure the privacy of all participants and the exact address is communicated after registration.

At OpenMunch you will find people just like you with whom you can talk freely and without prejudice about any topic related to BDSM and KINKY sexuality in general. The OpenMunch organisers will welcome you at your first Munch, introducing the general rules already stated on this page and making themselves available to answer your questions.

It is not a play party: no one will force you to do anything. It is not a fetish event: clothing you would use to go to your mum's for lunch or to go to work is strongly recommended. It is not a speed date: the aim of OpenMunch is not to foster personal relationships but to exchange knowledge.
On this last point, we invite anyone who finds themselves disturbed by various date requests such as 'would you like to have a coffee' to report the harassing person to us and they will be removed and not allowed to participate in future meetings either.

Of course, there are some very important rules that you need to know, and for this we have prepared a short list:

Of course, the best way to contact us is by signing up and participating in OpenMunch! Once you have participated, you will be added to our group on Telegram and can continue to chat with us.

Great, we are happy to have made your acquaintance. We hope that the experience was interesting for you and that we can see you again soon. You can continue to cultivate the knowledge you made in our Telegram channel to which you will be added at the end of the event. Please continue to respect the OpenMunch rules you already know on Telegram as well, avoiding prejudice and not using the Telegram channel as a hunting ground!

HOW TO DRESS? - OpenMunch events are informal and in public settings. For this reason, we recommend informal, non-themed clothing. Dress as you normally do when you go out with friends or go to work.
WHAT IF SOMEONE I KNOW WALKS IN? - Remember that we are in a public place and there is nothing wrong with being there. If you meet someone you know you don't necessarily have to reveal the reason why you are there, you can simply say that you are there by chance or that you are meeting friends. If it gets awkward you can always decide to leave at any time.
WILL I BE FORCED TO DO ANYTHING? - At OpenMunch events there is no obligation to do anything as it is not a play party. There is also no obligation to answer any questions. If someone asks you questions that you don't feel like answering, just say 'I don't feel like answering' or 'I don't know yet' or 'I'm thinking about it', in other words, you can keep it vague.
SHOULD I GIVE MY REAL NAME? - It is not absolutely necessary. Although some people have no difficulty revealing their first name, others prefer to use a nick name. If someone asks you your name and you don't want to reveal it, you can simply say that your nick name is... It's up to you!
WHAT CAN I DO IF I'M INTERESTED IN DATING SOMEONE? - The purpose of OpenMunch is to encourage you to get to know other people like yourself, although it is not a speed dating event. It may happen that some participant piques your curiosity and you want to continue their acquaintance outside of OpenMunch. Remember that OpenMunch is not a hunting ground, it is not polite and you would not look good asking anyone out on a date. If the person you are interested in is also interested, then why not? But in case she is not, respect her decision and don't insist.
IS THERE ANY CHARGE? - All OpenMunch events are absolutely free of charge and no entry fee is charged. You will, however, have to pay for your drinks at the host venue, which are not compulsory.
SOMEONE BURNS ME - As you have read on this page, we want OpenMunch to remain a meeting place where you can feel safe among friends. If someone does annoy you, you can say that you do not wish to continue the conversation. If this is not enough, we ask you to contact the organisers and inform them of the incident. We take reports seriously and are ready to remove people who do not respect our rules.
I HAVE AN IDEA - we are open to hearing any ideas that can improve OpenMunch, so we would be happy to hear from you and how we can make OpenMunch a better place.
I DON'T LIKE IT - did something go wrong? We would be grateful if you would take a few minutes of your time to let us know your point of view.
CAN I INVITE A FRIEND? - Sure, as long as your friend also registers on this page.

BDSM - identifies consensual (and non-consensual) sexual activities that include bondage and discipline, domination and submission, sadism and masochism. In general, BDSM encompasses unconventional sexual practices involving a form of power exchange between partners.
KINKY - identifies unconventional consensual sexual (and non-)sexual activities that, unlike BDSM, do not involve a form of power exchange between the partners. Examples are the lovers of fetish clothing.
CONSENSUALITY - consensuality is a fundamental element underlying any sexual activity, and the acquisition of full consent by both partners is one of the founding activities of BDSM.
SSC - an acronym for Sane, Secure, Consensual, which has become the rule in BDSM defining what falls under BDSM to distinguish it from borderline or even potentially deviant practices.
RACK - since not all BDSM practices can truly be considered SSC, the definition RACK, or Risk Against Consensual Kink, was recently born to define that situation in which participants, aware of the potential danger from the practice, freely accept the risk.
BONDAGE - by definition is the practice of tying up one's partner, usually with ropes. Sometimes scarves or other materials are also used.
SHIBARI - shibari is the Japanese version of bondage and is a real art.
FETISH - anything that includes the adoration of objects, clothing and/or body parts. Popular fetishes include latex or leather clothing and foot worship.
DOMINATION - the activity of taking control of one's partner, according to the limits and purposes discussed above.
SUBMISSION - the ceding of control to the partner, accepting dominance.
MASTER/MISTRESS - is one of the ways in which the partner assumes control.
SUB - or also submissive is the person who wishes to submit.
SLAVE - within the sub family, slaves are those who, in addition to being submissive, wish to belong to their partner.
NICK NAME - fancy name by which one wishes to be called.
