Common questions
How do I find BDSM events in São Paulo?
Start with the 4 public listings on this page: every one is an independent group, studio, space or shop in São Paulo with its own website and recent activity, and we link straight to it. For dates, the São Paulo calendar shows munches, classes and parties posted by the organizers themselves. Hedonist doesn't run or vet the events, so read the host's own rules before you go. See the São Paulo calendar.
Can newcomers go to a munch in São Paulo alone?
Yes, and most people do. A munch is a casual, clothes-on social meetup in a public place like a restaurant or coffee shop, with no play and no dress code. Nobody expects you to know anyone, and organizers are used to first-timers arriving on their own. Your first munch: what to expect and wear.
Is there a dungeon or play space in São Paulo?
Yes. 2 public play spaces are listed in the dungeons and play spaces section of this page. Nearly all require membership, an orientation or an RSVP before a first visit, and most only share the address after you sign up. All play spaces in São Paulo.
Is FetLife the only way to find local kink events?
No. FetLife needs an account and a login before it shows anything, and search engines can't see inside it. This page is public: every São Paulo listing here has its own open website, and the calendar shows dates without an account. If a group you know only exists on FetLife, ask its organizer to add it here for free.
