Play shy if you want to, but there’s a reason why sex playlists will always be a topic of discussion: fucking to music is mandatory. Add in party favors, and something as small as grazing someone’s arm can feel orgasmic.

It’s so common that even EDM.com – the literal website for electronic dance music – has an article on unsafe festival sex, revealing that 92% of the time, festival sex is “completely spontaneous,” while “46% of festival sexual encounters happen without protection.”

Want to get in on the pleasure – without bringing home an unwanted friend? Here’s how to capitalize on your weekend of pleasure, and bring orgasms in the mix, from Coachella to Burning Man and beyond. 

If the concept of fucking at a festival disgusts you, skip this one because there will be sex, sweat, and everything in between. Public sex is definitelyyyy a public indecency charge, so indulge at your own risk!

If you have a super sensitive vulva, though, try Trojan’s non-latex GOAT condoms instead.
