"TOILETSIF IT WASN'T MADE BY YOUR BODY, DON'T PUT IT IN THE POTTY!
Portable toilets will be provided, and will be emptied regularly. Use these facilities only for their intended purpose - not for dumping garbage or your personal potty bags. Putting anything but human waste and one-ply toilet paper (2-ply is a BIG no-no) into the portable toilets makes pumping nearly impossible and threatens the survival of the Burning Man event. This includes tampons, trash, and handy wipes. Read it again: NO TAMPONS, TRASH OR HANDY WIPES in the portable toilets. THIS MEANS YOU!! Put the lid down when you're done - it helps keep odors under control. Do not dump grey water or bags from your personal "potty" in the portables rented for participant use: doing so will fill them up much faster than normal and result in nasty toilets for all. For tips on dealing conscientiously with your grey water, see grey water disposal in the Preparation section.
Our toilet vendor works very hard to keep us all happy. Clean toilets are mandatory from a public health standpoint. Follow the guidelines above and you'll find the toilets cleaned frequently and efficiently.
Please do not defecate on the playa; it is an illegal act and unpleasant mess for everyone, especially for those who restore the playa after the event. "

"Please do not defecate on the playa;" is this short for "player" like a person or do they mean the general grounds?

'grey water' is a thing
― thomp, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 15:34 (eleven years ago) link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greywater
Greywater is wastewater generated from domestic activities such as laundry, dishwashing, and bathing, which can be recycled on-site for uses such as landscape irrigation and constructed wetlands. Greywater differs from water from the toilets which is designated sewage or blackwater to indicate it contains human waste.

I know that sexual freedom is part of the Burning Man package but there's something incredibly hilarious about the "did the dishes, put a penis in my vagina, read a book" pacing

Isn't that sex diary column a running fiction piece? It's like that every time.
― your naïve bacon (mh), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 22:49 (eleven years ago) link
..and accordingly, every time a bunch of people feel its realistic fiction style is either creepy or inauthentic. It's a classic troll.
