Echando un vistazo a la Survival's Guide

La Guía de Supervivencia 2008 que edita The Burning Man Project tiene tela. Mucha tela. Hay párrafos absolutamente gloriosos y delirantes y aquí os iremos desgranando lo más jugoso. Pero empecemos por lo que más nos interesa: foshar!

Black Rock City can be an erotically charged environment. We want to help prevent sexual harassment and assault while ensuring that sex-positive free expression thrives! It is imperative to know and express your own sexual boundaries and to ask about and respect your partners' boundaries. As the Bureau of Erotic Discourse (B.E.D.) reminds us: Silence is not consent. Communication is the best lubricant! To find out more, get in B.E.D. at www.bureauoferoticdiscourse.org.

Nooo... "Silent is not consent. Communication is the best lubricant!" Pero qué me estás contando?? Pero qué clase de Gomorra es ésta?? O sea, que no hay que dar nada por sentado y que voy a tener que hablar, y todo! Y si la tía enseña el tangorro... eso no significa que quiera yacer conmigo? Que me devuelvan el dinero... hombre ya!

Pero, vamos a echar otro vistazo por la web de nuestros amigos de la Oficina del Discurso Erótico, traducido mal y pronto.

The Black Rock City Bureau of Erotic Discourse (BED) is a team of volunteers who gather each year at Burning Man to provide information and education regarding rape and sexual assault on the playa. We present this information in a sex positive format, as we believe that fun, safe play is best approached by learning to acknowledge and express your own personal desires and boundaries, while respecting those of others

Y nos lanzan una serie de vicisitúdicos consejos. Ojo al dato:

#1 Always ask before touching, even if you know them! It's polite, it's good manners, it will earn their respect.

(...)

#3 Do not have sex with an intoxicated or stoned person... not only is it technically against the law, but it is potentially very hurtful to that person. And what fun it that??? If you have made a sober pre-agreement with a partner and go get fucked up, thats cool... but do not pick up a drunk, high hottie and take advantage! Be smart, take care of your partner, cover your butt, get sober ... then get some conscious luvin'.

(...)

#4 Card your partner... OK, maybe that's exaggerating but please make sure your potential partner is of age. There are some darn hot underage peeps old out there, so be aware! Again, we don't want anyone hurt out there.

Respecto a la nº 4: sí, es exagerado. ¿Cómo iba yo a saber que tenía 14 años?? No ando pidiéndole el DNI a todas las que meto en mi casa!!!

Me MUERO de ganas de llegar al Burning Man... y contarlo aquí.
