In Boston and want to get into kink? Your first step is one of these places.
Note that you will have to join Fetlife to access many of these websites--it's free and anonymous, and makes a great platform for kink event planning and social networking. Also please note: All public meetings of these groups are street clothes, no play, purely social gatherings. All play parties in Massachusetts are private and by invitation only.
Please keep in mind that the kink scene contains bad people, and not everyone you meet will be trustworthy. By listing a group here I am not vouching for it, its leadership, or its members; use your own cautious judgement.
