Are munches always given in bunches? My wife used to smother our kids with oodles of smooches. Never knew what to call that.

I call them nums. It's like a cross between kissing and biting. You cover your teeth with your lips and num, num, num.

“Munches are informal gatherings hosted by and for straight folks into BDSM; most are hosted by reputable BDSM or sex clubs—Orlando Power Exchange, Los Angeles’ Threshold Society, Seattle’s Center for Sex Positive Culture—and nothing happens at a munch. No sex, no play, just conversation and lunch.”
