Come Again, Burlington!

This is normally where we make a humorous quip about the city or state hosting Bike Smut, usually involving their name, or motto into some sort of play on words.

In the past we've said, VerMOUNT (as in, to see you get on) and I think we also tried a Voldermount joke once, although its hard to out-parody the self-referential internet. Burrrrrlington made more sense when we came through a snow storm 4 years ago.  But none of those are popping and we are only into the freshest recycled humor.

So fuck it, we have a show at Arts Riot, a totally excellent space in Burlington, Vermont and we are stoked about it! Plus we are donating part of the door to Pride VT, who on top of throwing a great festival celebrating the joy of sexuality, also encourage the responsibility of healthy behaviors to keep you safe!

Bike Smut 8: Come Again
Wednesday, May 6
Arts Riot
400 Pine St, Burlington, VT
9pm - $5 advance tickets


hey! don't forget to put on some shoes, those pedals will tear your sensitive feets!

If you are gonna wave your wand around like that it might as well be used to fuck the patriarchy... Like Hermone, "the girl who gave literally zero fucks".

Alas, Poor Queer Porn Tube, We Knew Them Well


"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR FUCKING WEBSITE?"

We sometimes get fan mail, we would like to think that our bike-fucking fans are more prone to use proper syntax and grammar than other online hecklers but its hard to tell. No matter its time to do something about all this bikeporn suffering going around.




Earlier this year our amazing friend, Courtney Trouble issued this statement:
This morning I had to shut down QueerPornTube.Com because, for the eleventh-thousandth time, it crashed it’s own server. The bandwidth is just too high, especially since I added mobile capabilities. It really sucks to have to put one of my most popular sites on hold, but it’s broken, and I’m busy.
I feel like most porn should be paid for. It costs money to make, performers need to make a living, producers need to survive, new projects can’t be funded on critical acclaim alone.
However, a lot of porn that’s made in the queer community isn’t made for profit, it’s made for the art of it or a solid political message. Sometimes it’s just being made so the person who made it can be seen. I would say that the most important work that’s been made in the realm of queer porn wasn’t made for money, isn’t commercial, and should be accessable to those who desperately need positive imagery of queer lifestyles. Queer porn educated and inspires and sets trends in a world that discourages fluidity, sexuality, and the transfer of health and sexuality information.
This tube site is super important to me because I want people to see the kind of porn that queer people make. It’s crucial that our art and opinions are part of the larger conversation. And it’s crucial that it can be found for free.
QueerPornTube.Com needs a dedicated server, and a dedicated person to monitor and manage it. I am able to do this myself, but it’s always been a labor of love and something that I pay for out of pocket, because I need to to exist and I want it to exist.
So, hopefully I’ll be able to make it work again soon and I’ll bring it back up. It might be a week, it might be a month, it might be a year.
I apologize to those film makers out there using the service to hold their content – it WILL exist when the site goes back up. We may all need to go check out embedded video outputs as the HTML may change when the site gets properly upgraded. I’ll maintain my updates here in this post.
Thank you for your understanding, and God Save Queer Porn Tube! Eventually.
xoxo
Courtney Trouble

Maybe some of you have seen how several of our favorite films are no longer visible online. Its a terrible thing because we have come to depend on Queer Porn Tube to help us share our rather radical message of human-powered transportation and sex-positive culture.  Now we are stuck hoping we can sneak videos onto some other server or deal with the kinda obnoxious advertisements of other, less ethical porno servers.

We will struggle on as best as we can.

Dos Vez en Distrito Federal!


¡En este su 8°Tour "Come Again" es la segunda ocasión que visita Méxxxico!

¿Sientes bici-curiosidad?


¿Eres bici-sexual?

¿Crees que una mejor manera de transportarse y mejor sexo son la llave para una mayor calidad de vida?

¿Tal vez piensas que la bici es sexy o que te sientes muy bien cuando andas en ella?

No hay DVD's a la venta y no hay proyecciones en medios. Esto es un reto para Bike Smut pero es la única manera de asegurar la privacidad.

Después de más de 1,000 proyecciones Bike Smut no ha tenido fuga de contenido. Mantienen la privacidad de los realizadores tan segura como ellos deseen.

Bike Smut es una experiencia compartida.

Normalmente vemos porno sólos en los lugares más íntimos de nuestra casa (o para algunos, en el trabajo) rara vez hablamos de ello.

Bike Smut hace un llamado a una mayor honestidad en nuestra sexualidad. El sexo sucede. Podemos ignorarlo o aceptarlo.

¡Ver Bike Smut en un entorno social fomenta hablar de sexo, género y otros temas considerados tabú!

Bike Smut es cívico. Las políticas actuales están diseñadas para reprimir la expresión sexual y la elección del transporte.

Bike Smut desafía esa tendencia mostrando la calidad de la expresión creativa y la cantidad de diversión inherente tanto al ciclismo y al sexo.

Ambas actividades (ciclismo y sexo) son elementos importantes para un estilo de vida saludable y una agradable calidad de vida.


¡¡¡ Vente con nosotr@s y exploremos junt@s la bici-sexualidad !!!

What will it be for you? A film exploring consensual bikesexual curiosity, or an experiment in disturbing behavior, exposing actor, crew and even Bike Smut itself to untold risk?!?

Bike Smut 7: The Porny Express is being shown in Gainesville for one night only!

Filmmaker Focus #5 Cypress Against Me

Exciting! We have managed to actually continue to present new interviews with our Bike Smut filmmakers! This might not be a big deal to some of you casual readers but our dedicated fans know we can be pretty challenged to maintain a coherent thought! So it is with great pride that we have actually been able to keep it up!

Our 5th interview comes from Gainesville, Florida. Where long time fans of Bike Smut had heard our challenge enough times. "Make a movie, or else we may not come back!" And so we are excited to let em know we are on our way south in your swampy lands.

Half the the filmmaking duo now lives in Boston, where we are showing The Porny Express on Tuesday, Oct 29th. Click here for the details






















Do you have a back story? An introduction to who you are? Do you like flimmaking?  Why? Have you made movies before? What were they like? 
Cori:  I suppose our back-story is that we are a bunch of queer people who have lived in the Northern Florida town of Gainesville for ranges of 1 to 9 years each.  We are collectively radical queers, former room mates, former lovers, good friends, comrades, and circus freaks.  I (Cori) moved here on a Greyhound bus when I was 17 and haven't left since.  I'm not an experienced film-maker.  The only movies I've personally made include a short about a magic box of cereal, an epic disappearing-ninja duel, a re-cap of my cat's lesbian wedding ceremony and reception, and the story of a fictitious pregnant man.
Bill:   Prior to this, I had only made chemistry videos for my undergraduate university. So when I was approached by some friends to shoot this video, of course I had to say yes. It's not everyday a future high school chemistry teacher gets to make dirty little secrets her straight laced colleagues should never find out about.


What do you think about bikes? Sex?
Why did you shoot for Bike Smut? What you hope people will gain from watching your movie? 
Cori:  We love our bikes!  My bicycle and having the privilege of riding it (especially long distances) is like an emotional release for me.  I hit the trail for a good 30+ miles once a week.  Gainesville, FL claims to be bicycle friendly, and it's trails are ever-expanding.  We wanted our movie to highlight Florida ecology and the city of Gainesville.  We hope it will inspire folks to c'mon down to Florida and bike the beautiful Hawthorne Trail.  Oh, and by the way, the first look-out on that trail makes for some good sunset romance time.
Bill:  If you don't love bikes, you should probably just go home. I moved across the country and my bike came with me. We went from riding flat prairie trails to Boston's blue mountain hills and I would never give him up. We wanted to really show off how great our home state is and show the strong connection we have with the special ecosystem we grew up alongside. We hope people will be turned on by our video and inspired to make their own queer bike porn. I mean afterall, what's porn if you're not getting turned on in one way or another!



Tell us about your movie. Why did you make such an incredible ecosexual adventure?  How did you chose the music? How were the group dynamics? 
Cori:  My initial response to a push from my community to create a film for y'all was "Hey, why the heck not, it'll be fun".  I was so right.  The group that filmed together had nothing but love and brilliant ideas and laughter.  We shared a longer trek out into the woods than is evidenced on film, including a good half hour in the sweltering mosquito-laced heat without a good sense of direction, but we made it to the cypress in good spirits anyway.  The folks in that video are super incredible, talented people that I feel so fortunate to have been close to.  The filming itself involved a conscious element of consent that is inherent in our Gainesville community.  There was frequent checking-in and reflecting on personal comfort levels between all folks involved.  The music we chose is meant to create a transition between the hustle and bustle of city life and the calmness of hitting the trail to wander off on a swampy hike.  We wanted to share some swamp blues goodness with our audience.
Bill:  I think we couldn't have found a better group of people to work with. Everyone was friendly and relaxed and it was really a pressure free zone. I think we had way more fun than we could have anticipated and I feel so grateful to have been a part. What we should have done was filmed ourselves giving each other "tick" searches.. now that's some sexy eco time.


Tell us about the process. What was it like filming outside? How about being sexual in front of the camera? How did you find people to help you make this movie? What were the biggest challenges? What would you have done differently? What about being in that slow moving water? Some people have expressed concern for the players health. Would you like to address them?
Cori:  Filming outside was a challenge due to lighting limitations and time of day.  Our helpful friend Gabe (who is, by the way, a rockin' bike mechanic here in town) lent us a GoPro camera, which attached to our handlebars for some fun motion shots past the downtown utility plant and even caught an angry driver hassling us.  Finding people to film and be filmed was the least challenging aspect.  I'd say some of us were eager to be on or behind the camera.  Having sex on camera almost seemed more of a role than a reality for me.  Though I can't speak for the entire group, I liked that there was more of a playful aspect to our sexuality that day than there might be in private.  In retrospect, I would have liked to get more actual climax shots and possibly more shots of the Hawthorne Trail and wildlife around it.  And of course a higher-res filming device.  As for the slow-moving water scene, we thank the audience for their concerns.  The actor took full responsibility for wanting to film that particular shot and as far as I am aware suffered no ailments in consequence.  The scene itself was shot quickly and I'm under the impression that it wasn't the first time the actor had immersed themselves in swampy waters.  In fact, I'd go so far as to say that doing so aroused the actor.
Bill: The process came pretty smoothly. As the "director" or camera person or whatever I was doing, it became easy to talk to the actors and try to make them feel comfortable ignoring the camera because everyone was just enjoying themselves so much. I would have to say we all were co-directing it together. We all had ideas of what we wanted to do, and it surprisingly was just very fluid. The actors had ideas of what they wanted to do, and so it made it easy to contribute advice to them on how it was coming off behind the lens (no pun intended). All I can hope is that I got good enough shots for the film and Cori did a great job editing them together and making me look like I knew what I was doing. I'm certainly a novice film maker, but I'm extremely proud of what we put together in such a short time.




What would you say to people who do not think this qualifies as porn?
Tell us a story about your community leaning about obscenity and how your community has changed.
Cori:  I'd say that they were welcome to hold that judgement as their own and that their judgement doesn't invalidate the project itself.  I'm not sure I've witnessed a radical change in my community's views on what is obscene.  I have memories dating back 9 years of watching porn with my friends during weekly "porn & pancakes* parties, hosting nude parties and nude beer-toss events.  I've noted just as many sex-positive comrades as I have naysayers through those years.  More recently, a man in town has been dancing around in hot-pants and skin-tight clothing on the corners of busy intersections and I hear onlookers and classmates claiming that even these actions are "obscene".  The outward showcase of our sex or sexuality will of course always differ from the private display of those aspects of a person, and I am incredibly thankful for those people who add to the de-shaming of sexuality by sharing their bodies and sexual experiences with us through live events and the media.  I'm also thankful to now be a contributor to that idea.
Bill: What Cori said.
Would you like to shoot for Bike Smut again? What would you tell other potential filmmakers?
Cori:  Yes!  I would love to do another film.  I'd advise other film makers to partner with people they love and respect, set boundaries and expectations early on, and give themselves lots and lots and lots of filming time to allow for the addition of last-minute concepts.
Bill: Absolutely. I think having a respectful connection with everyone you work with is important, and to just go and have fun with it. You'd be really surprised at what you can come up with and the wonderful art you can create from such a great organization inspiring you to do such a thing. I was approached by my friends having not a clue what Bike Smut was, and I have no regrets in saying yes to participating in this film.
Thanks for having us!
- Cori & Bill Nylateher

WHEW! Well I cant say much more than we are THRILLED to share your video! It comes off as gritty, raw and absofuckinglutely genuine. The kind of honest expression of joy and liberation of your body that really encourages the audience to think, "They are enjoying themselves and having so much fun filming it! I can do that too!" which might be the highest compliment we can afford to give a filmmaker without playing favorites. 

Moreover its so neat having an Ecosexual porn in the program! Annie Sprinkle would be so proud. As we have frequently quoted her it's important to see the Earth as a lover rather than our mother. In this way we might achieve some balance in our planet just as we would expect to have equality with our lovers.

Pretty smart fucking lady, that Annie Sprinkle.


Cori & Bill, we hope you will make another for us soon!

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!

"Come Find Me" World Premiere

Exclusive screening and release party info
Saturday, June 1st
Center for Sex and Culture 
1349 Mission Street
8 - 10 pm, $6 get yr presale now!
Adults only
FB event page







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!
