Burning Man Orgy Dome Destroyed by Windstorm
Burning Man Orgy Dome Destroyed by Windstorm
Burning Man’s infamous Orgy Dome — one of the festival’s most notorious attractions — was blown away and wrecked over the weekend after a massive windstorm swept through the Nevada campsite.
The sex haven — a sprawling, air-conditioned private tent outfitted with beds and mood lighting where consensual Burners can freely get it on — was left ravaged by the high winds during the fierce storm in Black Rock City on Saturday, organizers shared on social media Monday.
“Our build team worked so hard this past week to *erect* our lovely space,” the group posted on Instagram, with a video showing what little remains of the sand-swept sex suite.
“Unfortunately, the winds yesterday undid all that labor and wrecked our structure. We are still here and thankfully safe, we hope to gift the playa some workshops and will keep you updated.”
The grueling footage showed the metal tent poles mangled, the roof swept away, most of the outer siding torn off, and the beds nowhere to be seen.
Organizers of the orgy dome, founded in 2003, said the private desert love tent was “beyond repair.”
Officials, however, took to Instagram Tuesday night asking for wall, ball bungees, pipes, and zippers in an apparent effort to rebuild the famed tent.
The tent’s destruction came after a ferocious dust storm and raging winds upended campsites and left incoming Burners stuck in eight-hour traffic jams during the annual festival, which began on Sunday.
Wild video captured by early arrivals showed multiple men, covered in dust, trying to hold down metal poles as they were nearly dragged away by the wind.
Burning Man organizers took extra precautions Sunday night and closed the gates to Black Rock City, preventing anyone from going in or out until the worst of the storm blew over. Flights were also halted as officially strongly urged folks to stay off the roads.
The gates reopened early Monday morning, with festivalgoers up early, repairing their camps and retrieving lost belongings.
The festival, which runs through Sept. 1, draws a staggering 70,000 attendants each year.
