Burning Man hosts 'virgin sacrifice parties' and 'revenge of horny alien scientists'

While Burning Man revellers embrace the event's good old spirit of self-reliance, they're never alone. More than 1,000 do-it-yourself camps unite each year to rustle up a bonkers banquet of activities

Burning Man is back, baby, and it's wilder than ever!

Thousands of thrill-seekers have flocked to Nevada's Black Rock Desert to get stuck into what many are calling the "wildest festival of the year".

The nine-day extravaganza kicked off on Sunday (August 25) with festival-goers, known as Burners, setting up their themed camps across the sun-baked playa.

There's lots of quality news coming out of the US.

With only portaloos provided, these intrepid adventurers must pack whatever they need to tough it out in the extreme conditions.

While they embrace the event's good old spirit of self-reliance, they're never alone. More than 1,000 do-it-yourself camps unite each year to rustle up a bonkers banquet of activities that really make Burning Man tick.

This year's bash, themed Curiouser & Curiouser, doesn't skimp on the zany action the program's chock-full of bizarre happenings that'll raise more than just eyebrows. Known for its hedonistic vibes and "erotically charged" atmosphere, it's no shocker that a chunk of this year's events leans toward the saucy side.

Gentlemen looking to kick-start their morning can swing by the "Morning has c*m – So can you! (Circle Jerk)", where lads get together in the buff to "stroke your morning wood".

And for the ladies? There are sudsy body washes and "happy ending" massages on tap daily. As the day heats up, hit the Naughty Naked Village for a daily dose of discipline at the hands of the fierce "Domina Priestess", who's ready to deliver a proper "spanking".

The infamous Orgy Dome at Burning Man is hosting regular consent chats and providing a space for "couples and moresomes" to get their groove on. Other spicy events include "virgin sacrifice parties", which the organiser promotes as: "Virgin Sacrifice ceremonies every 30 minutes! Lost Treasure cocktails at the bar, DJ pumping jungle vibes."

"Revenge of The Horny Alien Scientists" also features in the list, as it reads: "Never before seen footage of the real history of Burning Man. Airing all day, every day." And the festival proves its inclusivity by also hosting "Best Sex of your Life living with Herpes and STIs", which doesn't go into detail what it actually entails...

Last year's festival included "c**k fighting", while beloved naked oil wrestling bouts provided a slippery showdown.

At the wild and free-spirited Burning Man, clothing is merely a suggestion, with a smorgasbord of naked activities on the agenda. Think naked dinosaur rides, pub crawls in the buff, pirate parties sans clothes, and even bare-all karaoke sessions.

Other events this year feature: 'Sex Kung Fu, Slap your balls with your bros', 'Sexy Afternoon Orgy', 'Naked Yoga' and 'Bondage Fights'... so, if you go down to Burning Man today, you're sure of a big surprise!
