A discussion group is a real rime or online group for individuals to discuss various topics amongst each other.

Members provide each other with various types of help, usually nonprofessional and nonmaterial, for a particular shared, usually burdensome, characteristic. Members with the same issues may come together for sharing coping strategies, to feel more empowered, and/or for a sense of community.

The help may take the form of providing and evaluating relevant information, relating personal experiences, listening to and accepting others' experiences, providing sympathetic understanding and establishing social networks. A support group may also work to inform the public or engage in advocacy.

'''Within the realm of [[BDSM]] some types of discussion groups are typical:'''

*[[Rainbow Culture| LGBT]]
*Survivors of [[Rape]]/Abuse
*Groups for [[Power Exchange]]
*Groups for [[D-types]]
*Groups for [[s-types]]
*Groups for [[Spiritualism]]
*any other topic that might relate to BDSM that has a wide enough appeal to generate regular and meaningful discussion.

Discussion groups held in real-time often have the same etiquette and [[protocols]] of a [[munch]].
