Episode 1: A discussion about the KINK community in Southwestern Ontario
Step into the world of kink with Magz and special guest Bernie from Kitchener as we explore the vibrant kink community of Southwestern Ontario. In this episode, we trace the rich history of local munches back to the early ’90s and uncover how the community adapted during the COVID pandemic, staying connected through Zoom. We break down what a munch is, discuss its role in creating safe, welcoming spaces, and highlight the etiquette and expected behavior that ensures these gatherings foster trust and mutual respect.
Beyond munches, we delve into local play parties like NANO in Kitchener, where the community gathers for deeper exploration, and the adventurous kinky camping events at Rainbow Ridge. We also tackle larger societal issues—discussing how the kink community is actively working to normalize kink, challenge stereotypes, and encourage people to step outside societal expectations and the so-called vanilla world. This episode offers a candid look at how embracing one’s true self and desires can break down barriers and lead to a more liberated and authentic life. Whether you’re curious or experienced, this conversation will inspire and inform.
