Naked Old and Unattractive people on the playa?
So this will be my first year attending the burn.. And my sister just told me it is a total nudist colony and everyone gets naked, and when I think of everyone only 10% (if that) of people are attractive, I assume she was just exaggerating because I have seen some really cool pictures of costumes so i know everyone is not naked. I am bringing my girlfriend and honestly I don't want to have my eyes fall out or be forced to look the other way every time someone walks by us that should be wearing clothes. I wanna keep our innocence from this kind of stuff, So if I attend Burning Man is this just out of the question?

This just might not be the right event for someone as judgmental as you appear to be. There's enough of this sort of attitude in the default world, personally I don't care to see it on the playa. If you don't like how someone looks, I suggest you just look away.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

This sounds waaaaay to judgmental of an attitude.. If you have to feel safe, go to Disneyland.
Really.
Because I can pretty much guarantee that you'll have a lousy time at the event.

Perhaps you shall stay home and watch TV. Turn to a Victoria Secrets or some other show that only shows "perfect" bodies. If you have an attitude "I judge people based on how they look" you shall not be on the playa. There is enough of this kind of attitude all around already. Let people be who they are. Leave your judgement to yourself.
I think you and your girlfriend need to go for sure and you MUST get naked yourselves.
Show the ugly old fat fucks with tits at the waist, scrotums and labia hanging down to their knees what fit good looking folks are all about.
If you bend over for a closer look someone just might pull out that two by four out if your ass and clear your mind a bit.

Black Rock City is an artist community that draws 50,000 people, and one principle it holds dear is radical inclusion. In other words burners on the playa don't discriminate based on clothes or the lack thereof so you can count on seeing some nudity. Especially in the heat of the day when it gets hot or you walk by someone's camp and they are in the shower, etc. For the most part though people are dressed. Why would you let yourself miss out just because a few people might pass by without clothes? It's silly to think about. Oh my, I might see naked people for a few minutes but I'm going to let it dominate my thoughts for a week? Seriously...it's called Black Rock City...emphasis on the City part for you. It's got plenty to see and do, and trust me your first time on the playa you'll get so wrapped up in it that more than likely you won't even notice the nudity unless the person is very cute or the body paint is black light reactive and catches your eye.
While others are giving you some grief over your concerns...I urge you to open your mind and make the trip to the playa. And do some more looking at YouTube clips and other resources...you should be able to find enough resources out there to put your fears to rest.

Not to be boorish, but could you post a picture of your sister, I want to see what she looks like. She may not be qualified to judge beauty in others and only a picture of her will tell.
This is NOT a nudist event at all. You will see some nekkid people here, but I assure you that after 15 minutes, you will not notice the bare asses passing by you. If bare boobies scare you, then this may be the perfect place to meet your fears head on. Keep looking and looking until the novelty wears off. When you feel you have seen as many bare boobies as you can stand, and they not longer make you stare or make you uncomfortable, then you are maturing and growing up right before our very eyes.
Welcome grasshopper!

Argh. I'm torn between snark, a reasonable reply, and a hearty fuck you. So here's all three.
If your eyes fall out, you won't see naked people. Problem solved.
At BRC, not everyone goes nekkid, and of those who choose to do so, not everyone is "pretty". So what? Who are you to judge? Who cares? What I love about BRC is fat, ugly old me, with my sags and bags and scars, is beautiful there. Because while good looking people may be appreciated, everyone is welcome. You learn to appreciate the person, not the body. Try it. You'll see people in the default world in a whole new way.
If you aren't joking, fuck your "innocence". Come to the event, and me and all the other fat old naked fogeys will come serenade your camp.

Casanova,
I'm suppressing my initial reaction and really trying to form a constructive reply for you because I feel you might honestly have posted this topic out of that “innocenceâ€

Wait so is it all breasts or just the older generations' breasts that bother you? And at what point do you consider people to be old. I'm not a spring chicken but I think my girls are just where they should be for my age and damn proud of them.
And please tell why someone "should" wear clothes?

Oh, I know I'm in the old crowd.
There comes a time in a mans life when things just aren't where they used to be. At about 40 I started having incidents where I go to sit down and land squarely on my balls. It is commical to observe. I have learned that gravity at some point takes over and there is no fighting it.
But just as skin stretches in unexpected places, some good things do come of it; my boobs are now a solid A cup and the areolas have gone silver dollar size on me. Throw in some salt and pepper chest hair and I must say it looks mighty fine.
So, my pettit e-Tard spry raver chicken, look at you grand parrents, your mom and dad and figure out what time has in store for you. Looks good, don't it.
