As the title says, I'm thinking of going to a party that is geared towards a sex/orgy type situation with added kink/BDSM play, as there's things like a fully kitted out dungeon on site. The event I'm specifically looking at isn't for a couple of months so I have ages to think about whether it's really for me, do my due diligence & generally try to go about it all in a sensible way. It's an organised & established event, there's a clear rule about consent & that you aren't expected to take part if you don't want to. There are also staff on hand making sure everything is safe, stuff like condoms are supplied - from everything I've read, including reviews, it seems like a really well thought out set-up.

I'm fairly new to the whole BDSM life, having not been able to explore this side of me in previous relationships, but I've been going to a lot of local munches lately. I've also been to a couple of local party events where there has been some people having sex, but that's not been the main focus of the event & as a single person I've not had the opportunity to play, other than in very structured scenes with house tops at the event. I've had fantasies for years about a variety of group sex type situations, the thought of sex with strangers isn't an issue for me, & the more I think about it, the more I feel like it would be a great way for me to explore some of the fantasies I have in that direction that I can see being difficult to fulfill otherwise (not least as, so far in my experience, guys are really keen to have a ffm threesome but a lot less interested when they realise you also would like to try mmf!)

The party is a little way away from my local area (about an hour's drive away) but I'm considering whether I can go to a munch near to the event nearer the time to try to meet some people who might be going. A friend of mine is also interested in going, so I wouldn't be going entirely alone (& before anyone asks, no the friend & I have a strict no playing together rule for various reasons, so we would very much just be going as friends, but the moral support in that would probably be a good thing!) There's a rule on the organiser's fetlife page that you can't contact other people listed as going to the event (I'm guessing they've had issues in the past with people hassling other guests) but I have reached out to the organiser to ask a couple of questions.

So if anyone here has ever been to any similar parties - is there anything I've not thought of that I need to consider before I take the plunge & book tickets? Any tips or definite must / must not do's for on the day? Any other advice you can think of at all?? Thanking you all muchly in advance!!
