Festival goers get pleasure from mad ‘orgy dome intercourse haven’ at disaster-ridden Burning Man
Punters are back at one of the world’s craziest festivals, that even includes an “orgy dome”.
The Burning Man festival Nevada, US, is home to an “air-conditioned sex haven”, according to a write-up in Cosmopolitan in 2016. Around 5,000 people are reported to attend each year in which guests can visit in groups “of two or more”, the magazine said.
A 26-year-old woman said she attended the event which generated a long queue outside. Festival workers stood outside to make sure people were sober enough to consent and also made punters aware of the clear rules inside the dome.

“Inside, the main space has mattresses on either side of a main walkway,” the woman, a 26-year-old production assistant said. “I was comfortable right away — once you see a lot of other people having sex, it becomes pretty easy to feel like you can do it, too.”
Celebrities are known to attend Burning Man each year, but there has never been any suggestion they have been involved in the tent-based hedonism.

Last year’s Burning Man festival was a disaster as awful weather left 73,000 people stranded and told to conserve food and water. A false rumour about an Ebola outbreak emerged as last year’s chaos unfolded. This was amid further fears about return of First World War disease Trench Foot due to the soggy conditions.
Instead of enjoying the group orgasm sessions, daily whippings and naked oil wrestling, people were left trundling though thick mud, trekking miles just to find a way out.

Attendee Hannah Burhorn told CNN the mud was “unavoidable”. She said: “It’s in the bed of the truck, inside the truck. People have tried to bike through it and have gotten stuck because it’s about ankle deep.”
Ex-US Solicitor General Neal Katyal detailed his journey getting out of the desert. “It was an incredibly harrowing six-mile hike at midnight through heavy and slippery mud, but I got safely out of Burning Man,” Katyal wrote, calling it a fantastic experience “except the ending”.
One person, 32-year-old Leon Reece, died at the festival in Black Rock, Nevada in 2023. Officials said the death was not related to the weather and an autopsy confirmed Reece had been subjected to “ acute cocaine, ethanol and 3,4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine [ecstasy, MDMA or molly] toxicity”.

The madness in 2023 seems to have had an impact with this year’s edition failing to sell out.
The festival is already underway this year and reports emerged this morning about a female participant sadly passing away. The festival participant was found unresponsive yesterday.
The event’s organisers said in a statement: “Once on scene, life-saving measures were immediately attempted but were unsuccessful.”

Dominique Debucquoy-Dodley, a spokesperson for the Burning Man Project, did not address rumours of low tickets sales when speaking to The San Francisco standard.
However, she stated that the organisation was “adjusting 2024 ticket sales to reflect recent trends around the world that show last-minute ticket buying.”
