TES Presents: So You Wanna Host A Munch, moderated by Zero

Back in the early ’90s, a group on alt.sex.bondage decided to meet offline at a burger joint in Palo Alto, California. The result was the first “”Burgermunch””, later shortened to “”munch””.* Since then, the munch has become a mainstay of alternative sexuality communities, often serving as the entry point for many newcomers. So what does it take to start and run a munch?

With minimal effort, learn how to deliver maximum pain and torment using just your fingers, turning them into Fingers of Death! Ramon is an active member of the NYC BDSM scene, and is involved with various organizations including The Eulenspiegel Society (TES), where he is a Board member as well as a class presenter.
