Inside 'erotic' Burning Man festival where revellers can enjoy orgy dome and all-night raves
Every year thousands of free-spirited people descend on Nevada's Black Rock Desert to erect a temporary city which the aim of enjoying an "erotically charged" environment celebrating art and self-expression. The Burning Man festival, which was founded in Baker Beach in San Francisco in 1986, has attracted A-list celebs including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Will Smith in previous years.
According to the Star, 80, 000 people are set to attend the event which is set to be held from Sunday, August 27 to September 4. Tickets for the event cost around $575 and revellers are expected to bring all the gear they need to survive the harsh desert where conditions are "often violent and unpredictable."
During the festival which runs for nine days, 1500 camps are set up across the playa, the dried-up land Black Rock City lies on, and each hosts its own events. Revellers can take part in yoga, meditation, arts and crafts among other activities which often have an erotic edge.

Last year, many dressed up in armoured bikinis or ditched their clothes altogether in favour of body paint to head to the all-night raves. There was also plenty of opportunity for some after-hours group sex, frolicking in communal showers and black-light BDSM sessions.
Famously the festival has an "Orgy Dome" which has made a return every year since 2003, promising "safe, consensual, sex-positive, inclusionary and exploratory environment". Inside the structure is a mattress which is usually "occupied by couples, with some threesomes and moresomes".
Consent is key at the sexually charged site though, with the Burning Man website stating: "You are responsible for getting verbal consent before engaging." One fan of the Orgy Dome told Cosmopolitan : "Verbal consent is necessary to begin play with other groups and to introduce new activities."

But not everyone is a fan of the racy dome. Speaking about her experience on the Sex Within an Hour Podcast, OnlyFans model Brie Teresi described it as "disgusting". She said: "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."
And to finish the day, free-spirited Burners can take part in the "sunset naked run and howl". The nine-day party will come to an end with the traditional symbolic burning of a large wooden effigy and campers will then have to leave the desert as they found it as they return back to their normal lives.
