Join our 2009 Theme Camp Challenge!

Wondering what you can do to create a healthy awareness of sexual assault on the playa and help keep your buddies safe? We have written easy to follow guidelines to help you discuss the subject and bring you camp up to date on this important issue!

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.

Alongside the vital roles of the BRC Emergency Services, the Mental Health Branch and the BRC Rangers, we feel that BED can be an important part of helping individuals safely navigate the sensual environment of Burning Man.
Come to one of our PlayShops on the playa and find out for yourself!

Please support our efforts to spread the word about playing safe on the playa! We are raising funds for our educational materials, buttons and workshops. Want to help?
