Maui BDSM

Munches are a basic step in meeting up with a BDSM community. It's safe, casual, and there is no committing to anything. All you have to do is show up, maybe have something to eat, and maybe make some new friends.
They don't exist for picking people up, but they do exist so people with a common interest can connect.

Maui BDSM holds its monthly munch on the 3rd Saturday of every month at Queen Kaahumanu Center in the food court. We chose this as a safe, open, and casual place for us to meet up. If someone doesn't want to immediately join the group, there are plenty of tables nearby to watch from before stepping up. Many of our members did just that when they first came out to a munch.

So come on out and have some dinner with some interesting people. Wear your mall clothes as it is the mall.

Come find us next to Edo Japan at 6pm, in the side dining area, or out in the main dining area. You'll spot the group of people with black and purple balloons on the table.

The twice monthly Wednesday evening gatherings being held by Jim & Elon are suspended for now, unless somebody else would like to continue with this event. Or maybe you would like to start a new event of your own... Anyway, Elon will be off island for quite some time and I've decided that in the absence of her physical presence & support that I'm taking a break.

For a couple of reasons, I have deactivated email notifications from this site. The main reason is that spammers seem to have found us, and they are posting spam to our forums. It is easy enough to just delete the spam posts, but with the automatic notifications turned on, everyone has already gotten their spam in email. The other reason is that Hotmail and Yahoo consider all email from this site to be spam anyway, and I am hoping if we don't send email for a while, they will forget about it. Then maybe a revamped notification thing can be put in place.

Hotmail and Yahoo mail have stopped accepting email from this site. If you would like to receive notification of events or other new posts on this site, you will need to use a different email address. Gmail seems to be working fine. Yahoo and Hotmail seem to have decided that the notifications are spam. I talked to someone at Hotmail (Microsoft), who removed us from their spam lists, but a few days later we are blacklisted again. I haven't got the time or energy to keep convincing corporate drones that BDSM does not equal spam.

As a community, we are able to pool our resources and knowledge and experience things that we are unable to as individuals. This month MauiBDSM will have two world renowned educators in the BDSM community travel to teach classes on Maui, something some of us would only be able to attend by traveling to the Mainland. There is also the added pleasure of being a part of a group or Ohana that we can relax and be ourselves knowing that most believe in "my kink is okay, your kink is okay"
