Common questions
How do I find BDSM events in New Haven & Hartford?
Start with the 1 public listing on this page: every one is an independent group, studio, space or shop in New Haven & Hartford with its own website and recent activity, and we link straight to it. For dates, the New Haven & Hartford 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 New Haven & Hartford calendar.
Can newcomers go to a munch in New Haven & Hartford 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 New Haven & Hartford?
Not one with its own public website, as far as we've found. In many cities the community rents space for events instead, so the organizations and calendar here are the way in. The nearest cities with a listed play space are New York City (70 mi), Providence (86 mi), Boston (120 mi).
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 New Haven & Hartford 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.
