Hell is Frozen - Bike Smut made a DVD

7 years and we have never sold a single DVD. We also never sent out copies to the media. We kept the content and filmmakers safe. If Bike Smut is making a DVD that has all changed! Have the vanguards of ethical porn and radical distribution have fallen? What hath the we wrought?!? Surely a bikesexual hell has frozen over!!

 

Whoa... easy there mr/s judgey-pants. We will address your legitimate concerns about this new limited edition DVD. But you do have reason for excitement. Come Find Me is a Heterosexual-focused, Feminist Porn Collaboration between famed queer porn director, Courtney Trouble and Bike Smut!

You now may watch, for the first time ever, a Bike Smut DVD in the privacy of your home.  WTF?!?

You may be asking yourself, what has happened to your favorite touring festival of erotic bicycle movies? Have they lost their sense of pride? Their decency? Their street cred? Their local credit union?!?

To which we offer a hearty guffaw.  You can't loose something you never had. Decency indeed... Indecency in deed...? No we are not suffering from a financial crisis (any more than normal); we haven't been duped into selling out to some nasty, cheesy, hairy Italian-American porn director (in fact, we hired him as our male lead so that we could turn the tables on male gaze);  and we will still be touring all over in the coming year. We maintain our pledge to protect our filmmaker's anonymity while doing the hard work of creating safe spaces for engaging ethical pornographic content.

We have not cast aside our beliefs on distribution and the importance of bringing communities together to observe and define obscenity FOR THEMSELVES.

What we have done is partner with the world's greatest riot grrl turned independent queer porn star/director: Courtney Trouble! The self made fem has a list of accomplishments as long as our rim and has helped us make a stunningly good feature length porn.




 We won't lie. This DVD is packed full of the hottest bikesexuals you will ever see.

The film will be released as a limited edition of only 300 professional-grade DVDs with handmade packaging, available for purchase on tour with Bike Smut, or online at TROUBLEfilms.Com.

With an adorable, romantic, and kinky storyline, Come Find Me is a bikesexual's dream. This heterosexual porn incorporates a female point of view, kink and expressed consent, authentic sex, and a personality-driven storyline.

Gasper sends his girlfriend Poppy on a bike-powered scavenger hunt ending at an empty house with a gorgeous man ready to ravage her inside out. He binds her with bike tubes, spanks her, and taunts her until she's too wet to stand - and then with an HD cam in hand, Poppy (and award-winning director Courtney Trouble) document an afternoon full of lustful oral sex, fingering, and finally - some deep, desperate, hard core fucking that makes both of them come hard - at last!

A true collaboration, with a narrative shot by Bike Smut real-life couple Poppy Cox and Gasper Johnson  and a gorgeous, high definition, high art sex scene of the two of them.

Courtney Trouble and Bike Smut have created a straight porn flick that stands out from the rest. Challenging the formulaic male gaze of mainstream heterosexual pornography, Come Find Me is a fine example of Feminist Porn, a hot topic in both the adult industry and feminist circles in 2013. Come Find Me features spoken and visual consent patterns, focus on female pleasure, and an altruistic approach to character development that allows you to fall in lust with the woman, and the man. It strays from the stereotypical "porn for women" trope by offering up hard core close ups, rough sex, and HD cinematography along-side it's romantic authenticity.

So what about distribution?  Well we can not tour to every place that demands Bike Smut. The logistics are impossible. We will continue to strive to provide the best bicycle erotica on earth, but now we have a really great movie that you should buy and share with your lover (or bicycle) immediately! Now we have a few new ways to share a totally legit porn that can serve as an introduction to so many of the ideas we have been promoting. Sex positive, expressed consent, creative passion, fucking bikes!

It's clearly a winner for all genders, couples, solo men, solo women, bisexuals, bikesexuals, kink lovers, amateur porn aficionados, and indie porn experts!

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

A bike-sexual review of Courtney Trouble's 'Live Sex Show'

In case you porn-positive bike-sexuals out there haven't heard yet, one of our favorite pornistas has just released her latest movie, "Live Sex Show.’’ We were just giddy with excitement when we received an email from Ms Trouble inviting us to review it. We thought the concept sounded really interesting and particularly related to what we try to do with our project, bringing sex out of the closet and in to the open for discussion and expression in an attempt to untangle ourselves from all this shame we are wrapped up in.

We landed in Austin with a few days to spare before our show at the 29th Street Ballroom.  Our wonderful host, writer of sex blog F*bomb and founder of Austin's Smut City (a monthly screening of awesome and obscure porn) was also really excited to see what Ms Trouble was up to. So after a delicious dinner from his favorite taqueria, we all got comfy and put it on.

'Live Sex show' is exactly what it sounds like, a series of scenes of different people having sex in front of a live audience. This alone opens up a plethora of issues and questions within film, sex and pornography. Here at Bike Smut one of our main goals is to assemble an audience to watch different interpretations of obscenity to allow them to make their own decision about what is obscene and what isn't.   By showing a group of people watching different interpretations of sex and sexuality, Trouble has encouraged these same ideals. The movie audience sees and identifies with the live audience and is encouraged to share these ideas within their own community.   This, in turn, will help to redefine sexuality and obscenity within our community and society as a whole.

The execution of the concept was well handled and felt very personal, it did not however feel like it was from the audiences point of view. So I feel in part like we were not only meant to be watching the actors but also the audience (even though we never really see them) As the movie goer you do not feel just part of the audience. You feel as though you are watching the action and watching the audience watching the action. Sometimes the performers actions speak directly to the cinema audience, putting the live audience in the place of the voyeur, where as other times the performers interact more with the live audience, leaving the movie goer to feel like the voyeur.

For example, the first scene shows a girl pleasuring herself, and while we are aware of the audience watching her, she is playing specifically to the camera. She is seemingly unaware of the audience watching, personally taunting and teasing us with her performance. It is not until her climax when the applaud from the live audience draws her attention to them with a smile and a bow.

This feeling carries on for the next few scenes, and one thing I start to notice is how, unlike in so much pornography, this film is shot with an active female gaze, both in the cinematography and in performance. Because within our patriarchal structure, women are too often the bearer of meaning rather than the creator of it, art is told from a male perspective rather than a female one. We are caught quietly watching male fantasies being played out over a woman's image. However in this, the camera feels like and active participant, rather than the usual passive watcher.  The female stars command the gaze from the audience, even when they are in roles of submission. Both scenes with cis male actors seem to use the them almost as props on which to express their desire.

As the film moves on we get to the scene with Tina Horn and Roger Wood. Like before, despite Horn being in a place of submission, I still get the feeling that she is commanding the scene through her desires. She seems expectant, prepared and loving every second. After some great spanking and power play, we come to a beautiful moment when Wood tries to take Horn's boots off and she whispers "You're supposed to leave them on" and Wood then turns to the audience, explaining "She wants to leave her boots on"

That moment totally turns the scene ins out, without ruining the moment. The first thing that shocks me is how damn sexy I think this is.  The couple becomes transparent, and it portrays a deep level of comfort and trust with each other. It is also proof of how much Horn is commanding her own desires through the scene, where she is seemingly in a submissive place. It also shows how she is willing to break from the scene in order to get exactly what she wants.  This moment also directly acknowledges the audience for the first time, and the movie-goer finally gets a taster of being to secret onlooker.

The scene progresses with a few giggles that make their way into some impressively passionate fucking and wonderful screams of pleasure from Horn. Once they are done with the discussed scene and finish with fantastic kiss, Horn tumbles over and Wood suggests that they could just keep going 'until they kick us out'. 

Horn then inquires about how much time they can have, and after an ok from an outside voice, asks Wood, "Do you wanna keep fucking me?" Wood rolls her over with a 'yes' and giggles of approval come from the audience. I thought this whole interaction was beautiful, sexy and filled me with so much joy! And to top it off, the sex they have them is even harder, hotter and wonderfully candid.

Next is Jiz Lee and Nina Hartley. Both wonderful performers who are both playing directly to the live audience. The scene has a simple narrative in which they take turns fisting. The whole thing feels fun and relaxed with loads of communication between them, which I love to see and really turns me on. I loved the bit when Jiz Lee lays down her ground rules before they start, and they discuss all the discussions they had with each other prior to getting on stage through email, etc. The live audience is feeling super relaxed by then, making the at home audience almost feel like they are there in the room. It was a wonderful way to show how much fun communication and consent can be, as well as showing how important it is to sexuality, and especially pertaining to the act of fisting. 

The film ends with the cast grabbing Trouble for an 'all hands on deck' effort to get her off.  With lots of laughing and fun being had by all, the film ends on a relaxed note of satisfaction. Our at home audience is feeling pretty great by then too.  We happily sit and discuss our thoughts on the film, especially commenting on how sexy we found the communication towards the end. Now while not everyone will be comfortable watching this with their friends or even their lovers. I do hope that the concept can help ease people into the idea of sharing pornography and sex in their community, even if it is just by talking about it more. We all have to remember that way before film, home video cameras or the Internet, humans used to watch each other have sex, live. ‘Pornography’ of all sorts has been seen and shared throughout our species since long before we found a way to define it. I do hope that more pornographers will attempt to touch on this issue of sharing in an effort to redefine the genre.

why not sell out?

Frequently we are asked about our principle regarding DVD sales. We have, from time to time been very tempted to produce DVDs. But at the moment we have no plans to release any video works. We dont even make screeners for theaters (providing an additional challenge to booking venues).

Here are some excuses:

A) because while Bike Smut does create a fair amount of content, most of the works are from other filmmakers, many of whom are interested in protecting their identity. No DVDs (not even to theaters wanting to preview it) mean that there is almost no chance that their content will end up online.

B) being in a space with others watching adult-themed material (be it violent, sexual or otherwise) creates a feeling vastly different from being at home. And it is not just because you feel more comfortable masturbating in front of your computer! (public/group masturbation can be awkward but is often exciting. Build up courage by trying it in front of a mirror, or your pets).

C) the value of bringing together of people who feel mature enough to sit though something and then have the stability of mind to discuss a topic afterward is difficult to overestimate. In a society where everyone is anonymous how does anyone establish what is obscene?

...

Y) We are lazy.
