This is a living document. We will continue improving it, add links to more groups and an Icelandic translation, but thought it best to get something up. Good is better than perfect.
Please make suggestions in this thread here. https://fetlife.com/users/2022689/posts/7305287
Current version posted 30th of September 2023
We try to have the community here in Iceland as welcoming as possible. For someone new it’s probably confusing to navigate, so we decided to put up this note as a signpost.
Real life
The Icelandic BDSM organization
We hold courses and workshops. We have been doing 5-6 educational events but have added a few more in the last couple of years. We do introduction to BDSM but also more specialized workshops like bondage, impact play, Dominance/submission and more.
We advertise our events on our profiles on FetLife og Facebook.

Reykjavik munch
Munches are meetups where kinky people show up and talk about whatever they feel like.
There is a regular munch in Reykjavik, first Wednesday and third Monday every month. Every once in a while they don’t happen, due to vacations or holidays, but the organizers are awesome and the munch is almost always there.
Quite a few people who show up do not speak Icelandic, so don’t be shy even if you don’t speak Icelandic. Most Icelanders will try their best to stick to English when someone doesn’t speak Icelandic.
Rope Jams
Rope Jams have been on hiatus in 2023, unfortunately, but keep your eyes peeled for events on FetLife.
RMSSSDLP
This is Reykjavík-Munch-Really-Super-Fun-Spectacular-Awesome-Play-Party. It’s a semi-regular play party, and we suspect the first post-Covid party will be soon!
There is usually a lot of play, some chatting, a DJ and all-round awesomeness.
There is not a strict dresscode, but an effort is appreciated!
Here is a thread to whet your appetite: https://fetlife.com/groups/27084/posts/17983553 .
Outside of Reykjavík
Work in progress. There have been munches in Akureyri advertised in BDSM in Iceland
Groups:
Akureyrarperrar
Norðvesturperrar
Online
Fetlife
The biggest online community is on Fetlife. We will add links to groups at the bottom of this note, but the biggest group and the most active is BDSM in Iceland
There are TONS of Icelandic groups for all sorts of kinks. Most of them are not very active. Not all of them are in the list below, however just check out some profiles of people in Iceland and see which groups they are members of.
A lot of the discussion in these groups happens in Icelandic, but it’s usually fine to post in English and a lot of people will answer in English.
Reykjavik munch discord server (Not only for Reykjavik!!)
This is a discord server which started out as online munches, due to Covid. It’s grown to be a great online community. It’s only for chatting though, no cyber play. Everyone is expected to use English there, so there are no issues with not understanding Icelandic.
This is mostly for text chatting, but there are regular video chats as well. If you are uncomfortable with video you can participate using voice only, a lot of people do.
You need an invite link. The link below should work.

If it doesn’t please inform Reykjavik Munch or let us know and we’ll get a new link from them.
Groups on Fetlife for people living in Iceland
These are the biggest and most general groups. More groups in the suggestion thread, and you can always use the search function to search for “Iceland”, “Ísland” etc.
