Former Olympic skier and actor Gus Kenworthy is opening up about his wild and sexy experiences in Burning Man and why he loves a threesome.
On Thursday's episode of the Grindr podcast Who’s the A**hole?, host and Drag Race royalty Katya Zamolodchikova got Kenworthy talking about all of the steamy experiences he’s had at Burning Man.
Katya may have described the festival as her “living hell,” but the pro athlete loves it.
“For me it’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever experienced in life. It’s so much fun. It’s so freeing. It’s really liberating,” Kenworthy said.
The 33-year-old silver medal winner said that people often complain about the lack of showers at Burning Man, but for him, finding a way to get clean at the festival proved to be a sexual awakening.
“There’s also camps that offer showers, and one of them is a gay camp,” he explained, “and so you can go shower with soap and water, and it’s kind of chic, but the caveat is that you do it with everyone watching. And so there’s people that come and pull up chairs and they’re sitting all around.”
While that scenario might not be for everyone, the experience opened Kenworthy’s eyes.
“But it’s kind of hot. I enjoyed doing it. I enjoyed showing off and having people watch, but I also got a shower,” he said.
The pair also talk about Burning Man’s famed Orgy Dome. “It’s very sexual and sexually charged, and there is something for everybody,” Kenworthy explained.
When Katya asked if there is a “jerk off tent,” Kenworthy revealed that there is and that on the schedule there is even a circle jerk session. Who knew?!
“Public sex? Yay or Nay?” Katya asked.
“Yeah, I’m pretty into it,” Kenworthy answered before admitting that he would never have sex in a public place where people who weren’t interested in watching could see, but he isn’t opposed to getting it on in a dark night club.
“I think it’s kind of hot to f—k somewhere in a dark room, or like doing it in nature, but not necessarily with people around. I think is hot,” he said.
Plus, the two got into the nitty-gritty about their shared love of threesomes. “I’m a mess, I’m always in a relationship, but because of that, I’ve had a lot of threesomes," he said, admitting that he and his different exes frequently brought a third into their bedroom.
Katya said the key to a threesome for her is being the “special guest star.”
“Because then you’re getting all of the attention,” Kenworthy responded.
“Exactly. And I can also leave. My nightmare is hosting a threesome,” Katya said.
Kenworthy’s advice for having a successful threesome? Make sure everyone in the room is sexually attracted to each other.
“My advice for threesomes is like if you’re picking up a third — granted, it’s hard to know sometimes for sure — make sure they’re kind of like equally into you and your partner because I feel like that’s the thing that ends up being the thing that makes threesomes not really work.”
