Nothing kills a sex party quite like a sandstorm.
At least that’s what horny ravers discovered at Burning Man festival, which is held slap bang in the middle of a US desert.
The Nevada bonanza was interrupted by a huge dust cloud, known as a ‘haboob’, sweeping through the American Southwest over the weekend.
But one victim of the huge storm has upset music fans the most: Burning Man’s infamous ‘Orgy Dome’.
It is one of the event’s most talked-about attractions.


The huge tent offers dozens of mattresses and air conditioning for couples and groups to get it on in front of each other.
A reported 5,000 visitors queued to get inside last year, but not this time.
The dust storm’s powerful winds ‘wrecked’ the Orgy Dome’s structure, its Instagram account said on Monday.
The group shared pictures of the ruined tent, adding: ‘We hope to be able to offer some workshops if possible but what remains of the dome is beyond repair.’
The Orgy Dome is one raucous part of the Burning Man festival, during which 80,000 people pitch up and build ‘Black Rock City’ on the desert
The event advertises itself as an opportunity for free expression and communal living in a largely unregulated environment.
Although there is a reputation for drug use and nudity, dozens of children go too.

The Orgy Dome itself is only for adults who are age-screened and provide explicit consent.
It was not just the festival’s sex hub that was destroyed by the forceful winds; the whole event was also flooded with dust.
The weather conditions forced various activities to pause over the weekend, and left four people with minor injuries.
Although festival gates and Black Rock City airport has reopened, thunderstorms now threaten to disrupt events this week.
Wild dust storms have continued in other parts of the American Southwest this week.

‘Apocalyptic’ clouds swept through Phoenix and other parts of Arizona on Monday.
These ‘haboobs’ frequently occur during summer monsoon season in that party of the country.
They are caused when thunderstorms create down drafts that kick up sand on the desert floor.
As they struck Arizona on Monday, drivers were told to ‘pull aside stay alive’ as road visibility fell to as low as 50 feet.
