For all of those years, I was basically a Dom in the wild, not knowing a lot of things about Kink that I should have. In 2013, I started to explore FetLife and decided that it was time to actually meet other kinksters if I was to grow and develop as a real kinkster. That summer, I started to attend munches in the Northern Virginia area and made many friends. In October 2013, I met my girlfriend and submissive and introduced her to the munch scene. In April 2014, after starting a new job in Arlington, VA, I realized that there were no munches near my work site, so I decided to start one. I am the founder and host of the Arlington Daytime Munch and my girlfriend and I have made many new friends at this munch.
