BDSM bondage lifestyles in Australia.

Statistics suggest that there are around 20,000 men and women ( hetro's and gay's) who actively participate in BDSM bondage events and parties in Australia. Although unless you are well connected, becoming involved and knowing where to start is difficult due to a lack of openly accessible resources. Although these resources do exist, this article will point you in the right direction so you can start your new BDSM journey.

                          
Finding a BDSM party or event in your local area is something difficult to come across. One thing for certain is that they do exist. BDSM parties here in Australia are still kept as an underground type venue as these parties are not for the faint hearted and you should educate yourself on what to expect. The main reason BDSM parties and events in Australia are kept out of easy public access is so non-experienced or un-suspecting people don't show up.

Locating an Australian BDSM bondage party in your local area.
Probably the easiest way to get started is to visit an adult shop and search for an appropriate publication. Keep an eye out for magazines with themes based on gay and lesbian, swingers and couples parties. Such magazines may not always take you directly to where you need to be however they will provide a gateway and ideas for BDSM parties and events in your local area. Many adult publications will advertise regular parties. Keep in mind that not just anyone can attend advertised parties. You will notice that different groups and organizations advertise for certain requirements such as couples, single women or perhaps their group lacks either doms or subs and will advertise for such. So becoming a regular participant of a community can take alittle time to establish.

If your looking for a more personal approach and a recommendation rather than delving into a completely unknown environment, try approaching someone who works in the industry such as an assistant at an adult shop, fetish clothing stores, leather clubs or try emailing a professional dominatrix.

The ideal place to start for new comers that are wanting a small taste of what to expect would be to firstly attend a night club or large event where there are often non-participants that are there as an introduction to BDSM. Sydney's Hell Fire night club is renowned for hosting alternative type parties and is located in inner city Redfern. "Sleaze" (formerly Sleaze Ball) is held annually in Sydney and attracts around 10,000 party goers and sees revelers from every possible walk of life attend. It is an out door event made up of various "tents" to cater for different sexual fetishes and features loud dance music and DJs. Sleaze was originally a gay oriented event but has become more commercialized in recent years.

There are also Australian BDSM personals sites available that cater for the experienced and the inexperienced. Do some research based on the suggestions in this article to find what best suits your desires.
