is sex allowed?

i've been reading about the burning man, and learned mainly three things. there are barely any rules, nudity is allowed, and most people dont give a shit about what you do. so, theoretically, you could have sex on the open playa. does anyone know about any rules against it?

Yes, there is a rule against it. Don't know where to find it, but it is probably somewhere on the main web site.

People don't give a shit what you do, but the law enforcement there, and there are plenty of uniformed officers, do care.

Besides, on the open playa? Euw. That dust in there? Riiiight.

You haven't been reading deeply enough if you think there are "hardly any rules". Keep reading.

Dig deep and search yourself for that little whispering voice that goes by the name of 'common fucking sense.'

All will be revealed.

people have been arrested, taken off playa, jailed & fined for public sex at Burning Man (it happened to friends of mine, we did a story on it in Piss Clear in .....'06 or '07)

The same state laws that apply in Reno or Lovelock or Vegas apply in BRC- it's just that the LEO's choose to let most of them pass. Our "Community Standards" are a bit looser than most cities.

If you feel the need to have sex on the open playa, and have a strong desire to spend the night in jail in Lovelock, feel free. Just don't say you weren't warned.

Oh- don't think you can get away with it at night- they have very powerful night vision goggles out there.

It can be done discreetly.
But if you aren't lit up, you may be like the couple we nearly ran over.

She seemed surprized to have a lit up art car parked next to them.

The original poster asked â€œIs sex allowed?â€

Good candidates also, I agree -- but I think my joke is already played out.

Can anyone post some pictures on what kind of sex we are proposing here? That would really help me visualize!

It is certainly against the law and police will bust you if they see you doing it. That said, it is very possible to get away with having sex on the open playa.

- bring covers. It's not even that unreasonable because you'll want something to sit on and at night it's cold enough. When you are under a sleeping bag, no one knows if you're having sex or just making out.

- stay in a crowd. This is a little counter-intuitive, because off playa this would give more chance of being caught. But cops are going to be drawn to a couple way out on their own, but in a crowd you blend in. Easy access clothing can make your actions covert.

- stay near a building/art project. It's less suspicious that people would be by an art project, and the larger ones can block the view in multiple directions.

Lastly, be aware of your surroundings. It's nice to get lost in the moment, but it can lead to getting caught.

Maybe it's just me, but that's good for a laugh. Somewhere around here I posted, thru Photobucket, a snapshot of me on the Playa, hmmm... shirtless, and with the photo carefully cropped at the... bikini line. Yet Photobucket sensored it. Good luck with....

[Full disclosure: I'm working on my MV and drinking beer. Maybe it's not all that funny.]

Several years back, I asked someone to take my picture while I was riding in the naked bike ride. I wanted it with my strategic parts concealed behind the bike seat. I got the perfect shot that I was looking for. I was able to show the photo to anyone who may have been offended by nudity. What I didn't see, was the long shadow that the sun cast, which clearly (and impressively) showed my man parts on the playa.

Sex in a tent gets real sweaty real fast.

Back in 2002 after a good sweat session in the tent with the Mrs. I fumbled about to find the baby wipes. I find the box and grab a few sheets and start cleaning up the bits in the dark of the tent.

About 10 or 15 seconds into my intensive hygiene session I realize something doesn't smell right. Too clean of a smell.

Another 10 seconds pass before the burning sensation sets in.

I scramble for the flashlight, and grab the tube of baby wipes:

Chlorox kitchen wipes with bleach!

Needless to say I had a case o elephantitis the next few days.

My wife laughed for a good half hour.

*edit: not that there's anything wrong with that*

Baby wipes on your bits to clean it? That's what the blowjob is for.

You seem to be assuming that Token is a male when all this time I was under the impression - based on the avatar - that Token was a middle aged, babushka wearing, Ukrainian woman.

I always though the beard confirmed it.
