I have never been to London. However I do my travelling through books and hearsay. And now there is this space age technology called the Internet, I get to see more things. I have mentioned before that London has a well-established kink or BDSM community. There are dungeons everywhere, lots of adult shops for the DIY-ers. I live in a Catholic Asian country where there are no dungeons, only a handful of adult shops in the metro and openly talking about sex is taboo. Although we have a few kink groups, there are only a few active people who join the Munches.

I checked the calendar for BDSM London and wow! They have a full calendar scheduled with activities for different kinks. Compared with our calendar, we would be lucky to have one scheduled event in a month other than the Munches. London offers a wide variety of activities from Munches, rope classes, fellatio classes to sploshing, orgasmic meditation, erotica reading sessions. In short, the BDSM community here caters for most of the kinks you can think of.

I found one tip here that can get you access some of London’s down ‘n’ dirty clubs. Hand Jobs Media (such a catchy name) give out goodie bags or more accurately “baddie bags” full of condoms, lubes and other promotional stuff to guests at fetish parties. They are always looking for helpers, and it’s a great way to start to know BDSM London scene.

For anyone looking for a private space to get your kink on, check on KinkBnB. This is like AirBnB but with having your kinky needs in mind. The locations range from a room with sex furniture to a dungeon. Some locations even offer Pro-Domme services, now that sounds fun! So if you are not comfortable with sharing space with other people, this is a good place to look for a place.

I am always fond of adult shops. Lots of curious things to see plus I love toys myself. But here in my country, the handful adult shops only sell dildos, vibrators, lubes, condoms and lingerie, slutty lingerie. For the other fun stuff we usually buy online. But I’m the girl who likes to see things up close and to touch it, get the feel of the product before actually buying it. And London has adult shops that actually sell the fun stuff, whips, floggers, paddles, clamps, latex and leather wear and self-help videos (and I didn’t mean porn) and books on how to start with Shibari and more.

London offers a wide variety of classes from how to be a dominatrix to learning how to be a great “head girl” and using your hips to not just to “enhance your orgasmic potential”. Since fetish wear is expensive, there’s also a class that offers how to DIY your own latex clothing. TurnOn London holds workshops on orgasmic meditation: a practice designed to help people focus on and more aware of the feelings they’re experiencing during sexual moment. It is intended to improve individuals’ intimate lives as well as reduce stress and enhance general wellbeing.

Every time a friend goes to London I would ask if they went to a dungeon. I think it’s just me but I am enthralled with dungeons. I think it’s the sex furniture and toys and the overall atmosphere of it. So I had to check the top 10 dungeons in London. Unlike here there’s an area for clubs and the redlight district. I was half expecting the dungeons would be situated in one area. The #1 on their list is Hoxton Dungeon Suite. The location is accessible to public transport and is near a commercial area, lots of BDSM and fetish clubs around the area, it is in an ideal location. This first-class BDSM apartment boasts of its fine furnishings and a collection of toys. Each room holds an enticing surprise!

We always say “to each his own kink,” everyone has their own kinky thing. I am still on my training wheels in this lifestyle. But BDSM London has a lot of offer and checking this out is good to open your mind to new things and lots of possibilities.
