I think the appeal is there's usually a ton of free drugs there. And casual sex if you're hot enough.
Also, interesting art, novelty-aplenty, and the ability to say you did it.
“I went to Burning Man”
“Thanks for the info!” ✍️
I don't think there are too many people hot enough to make the casual sex itself hot considering it'll be sweaty, dehydrated, hot, dusty, smelly desert drug festival sex in a tent. Burning Man sounds fucking awful.
I'd rather just meet someone in my area after we shower.
From videos I've seen of it, there does seem to be a pretty high concentration of very conventionally attractive people wearing rather skimpy outfits. I think the event attracts a lot of California who work in fields that attract a lot of good looking people (media mostly). Also from what I understand previous events were better organized and generally did had adequate water and other resources to keep people from dying if dehydration, it's just the event last year was a cluster fuck due to unexpected weather.
None of this is to defend Burning Man, it's an extremely bougie event for rich hippies, but if you were a cringe ass rich hippy yourself it probably is a lot of fun.
Nah, not for me. None of it sounds good to me, even with casual sex. Plenty of beautiful, showered working class girls in cities to meet.
Stinky ass, dusty ass rich drugged hippies sounds fucking gross.
if you were a rich hippy
Honestly burning man just seems like a more pretentious version of a music festival.
Isn't that what it's always been?
