I do believe the word "munch" in relation to vanilla meets of the type popular now on SH orginated on the S/M scene where people arrange day time vanilla meets, drinks etc to introduce new or curious people into the scene. The word "munch" is a cross between "meet " and "lunch".
That might not be true, but it might be.... who knows

Sounds about right to me will have to get myself down to one soon
My understanding, and I'm quite prepared to be corrected by the BDSMers, is that the Munch term came about because the meetings traditionally happened in Restaurants and coffee shops. So people were quite literally "munching" on burgers and stuff.
The idea being that they are quiter places to meet where folk can chat without being in a noisy club or play environment.

Aha the oracle's got it - so munching's not obligatory then, phew - now we can all sleep tonight

Same reason 'lunch' is called 'lunch' or 'motor car' is called 'motor car'.
:P
So why is that ?
I can understand why 'bottom' is named but who thought of 'window'?? And why do the words 'inflammable' and 'flammable' mean the same thing?
:? :?Hmmmmmm bottom + window = mooning doesn't it :wink:, so where did that one come from :twisted:

It comes from BDSM scene terminology, and started when a local BDSM group in Palo Alto, California decided to hold get-togethers at a burger restaurant - see the full story at:

I knew you would know MN. I knew I had read that somewhere but could not find the bloody link.
I also think that BDSMers just love using jargon - they can't resist using terminology that vanilla's will not understand.
Heehee, CQ, I couldn't find the link in here either, but I did some googling.

Gorm is available from all good "Negative only Retailers" along with ample supplies of Feck, Hap and Ruth.
They had a 3 for 2 on Gorm, Feck and Hap at my local but I decided to pass on Ruth!
