This year, the orgy dome is getting more attention at Burning Man than the rain or the traffic jam on the way in. All three are back in the Nevada desert for 2024, along with an “I’m Fine” art installation provided by Ukraine. In between events and downpours, attendees of all sorts are welcome in the “air-conditioned sex haven.” Just as long as they enter in groups of 2 or more.
Orgy Dome a regular feature
The Orgy Dome has been a regular feature of the Burning Man festival since at least 2016. It got a write up in Cosmopolitan that year. “Around 5,000 people are reported to attend” annually.
One 26-year-old woman relates her experience. The long line to get in attracted her attention. Whatever was going on inside the dome was clearly popular with festival goers.
The basic concept of an orgy has been around for as long as people have and the Romans considered them a great way to celebrate Christmas. They didn’t call it that then, though. That was before they all became Catholic.

Pagans celebrated the winter solstice as “Saturnalia” and had a rollicking good time with their togas tossed on the floor. Festival workers, she explains, “stood outside to make sure people were sober enough to consent.”
It may have been an orgy but that doesn’t mean there weren’t rules. Burning Man staff also made sure everyone knew what they were and agreed before going in.
“Inside, the main space has mattresses on either side of a main walkway,” the 26-year-old production assistant described. It’s not as tacky as it sounds, she added.
Comfortable right away
For Ms. Adventurous, the inhibitions seemed to melt away. “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.”
There’s a good chance you can do some power networking while you’re at it. “Celebrities are known to attend Burning Man each year.” That doesn’t mean you’ll find them in the orgy dome but you never know.
Last year, the weather was so bad that even a non-stop orgy didn’t make it tolerable. 2023 “was a disaster as awful weather left 73,000 people stranded and told to conserve food and water.”
@karilake. Was that you I saw at Burning Man this morning? Sure looked like you without the filter you rely on so much. You even had a MAGA hat on. Just outside the Orgy Dome? pic.twitter.com/vYCN0lNnRX

Making things even worse, there was a fake rumor buzzing around of an “Ebola outbreak.” There was also a lot of speculation about “return of First World War disease Trench Foot due to the soggy conditions.”
Year after year, attendees have been lining up rain or shine outside the dome. Not last year. “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.”
The mud was relentless. “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,” one attendee posted. That sort of spoils the mood for an orgy.
