Group and Munch Databases

The Group Index and Munch Index are constantly evolving databases of BDSM support/education/social groups and casual gatherings across the country and around the world. A browser capable of running Java 1.0.2 is necessary to use these databases (e.g. Navigator 3.0, Explorer 3.0).Detailed instructions are available, or you can try the simple search described below (usually the best choice if you are a new user).

Quick Instructions

When you're ready to begin, click the appropriate Load the Database button to open a database window.

You can search by city, state or province, country, or group/Munch name. To perform a simple search across all fields, type what you're looking for in the Search box, but don't hit the Enter key; instead, click Search All. This will match whole words or parts of words anywhere in the database. To return to the entire database listing, click Show All.

To select an entry, click in the narrow column on the left side of the window. Information for the entry marked by the blue arrow will appear in the scrolling window. To visit a Web site, just click on an entry's URL.

Note: There are special restrictions when searching for anything containing a space. If the database does something you don't expect -- or doesn't do something you do expect -- click the Help button to read the detailed instructions.

If you don't see your group listed here, please let me know and I'll be sure to add it.

NOTE: These databases have not been modified since the move from About.com and are badly out of date. The local copies are slowly being checked and updated but, in the meantime, I felt it was better to have something than to have nothing -- even if the information is dated. Thank you for your patience.
