The barren landscape of Nevada’s Black Rock Desert transforms into a bustling city of free-spirited individuals seeking an “erotically charged” environment every year.
The Burning Man Festival, which first took root on Baker Beach in San Francisco in 1986, has since evolved into one of the most outrageous camping events of the year, drawing big names like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Will Smith.
This year, a whopping 70,000 people shelled out $575 for tickets to join the self-sufficient community that constructs Black Rock City. The event is set to commence on Sunday, August 25 and will ran until Monday, September 2.

Festival-goers, known as Burners, were advised to bring everything they need to survive in the harsh desert where conditions can be “often violent and unpredictable”. Ice is the only commodity sold in the temporary city.
Over the course of the nine-day festival, around 1,500 camps sprung up across the playa, the dried-up land that Black Rock City sits on, each hosting its own unique events, reports the Daily Star.
Campers can engage in arts and crafts, yoga, meditation, and friendly ping pong tournaments. But there’s truly something for everyone at Black Rock City – including those looking for some risqué fun.

This year saw many attendees donning armoured bikinis or opting to go au naturel, using body paint instead of clothing, as they headed to the all-night raves.
But it wasn’t just about the art and music – there was also a wild side to Burning Man, with after-hours group sex, communal showers frolics, and black-light BDSM sessions lighting up the night.
The infamous Orgy Dome, a staple since 2003, returned to provide a “safe, consensual, sex-positive, inclusionary and exploratory environment”.

Inside, bodies intertwined on mattresses, and according to one Reddit user, it’s often “occupied by couples, with some threesomes and moresomes”.
Consent is paramount at this sexually charged venue, as per the Burning Man website: “You are responsible for getting verbal consent before engaging.”
An Orgy Dome enthusiast previously said: “Verbal consent is necessary to begin play with other groups and to introduce new activities. If you ask if you can play with a couple, you’d still need to ask, ‘Can I touch your breasts?’, ‘Can I go down on you?’, ‘Can I f**k you both in the butt?’ Consent is an active process and can be removed at any point.”

Not everyone’s a fan of the dome’s debauchery. OnlyFans model Brie Teresi previously shared her disgust on the Sex Within an Hour Podcast, saying: “It was so disgusting in there, there were people doing like all disgusting things.
“It smelled so bad and I was like I am not doing this and the girl was not doing this so we were just watching and we were cracking up because it looked so ridiculous.”
For ladies in search of a titillating treat, there was “body wash and inappropriate full body massage with happy ending”. For lads who are gay, bisexual or just “curious” took a trip to the Down Low Club for some hanky-panky ‘man-to-man’ action.

This year’s hot and heavy agenda also included a ‘Sex Magick Show’ held by a horny couple who headed to the festival in their ‘Sex Magic Bus’… however, the details are unknown because no one fancied hopping into the RV for a spicy sexcapade.
And if that’s not enough, uninhibited Burners joined in with the ‘Last Party’, which according to reports, involves a “sunset naked run and howl” and rave featuring nude and scantily-clad revellers wanting to end their experience with a bang.
As the the nine-day shindig wrapped up yesterday (Monday), the iconic giant wooden effigy went up in flames in true festival spirit before campers got ready to dust off and return to real life.
