I regret that I only just discovered Bike Smut today – this is something a few of you will most certainly enjoy. Bike Smut is a randy bicycle-centric erotic film fest for indies and amateurs of all stripes, makes and models, genders and orientations. Now in its 5th year, the fest has taken its show on the road across America and completed a six-month tour of Europe last year. For updates, you can follow Bike Smut on Twitter.

Bike Smut also has a small shop, where one can purchase bike smut themed panties.

The only way to see Bike Smut is when it plays in a theater, bike shop or basement for a live audience. There are no DVDs for sale and no screeners for the media.

It’s through Bike Smut that I found this Kickstarter for a fun bikesexuality project: BikeSexuality: True tales of bicycling and desire. How fun – I’d like to see that one come to actualization.

However, they do have a fun film clip page, a photo blog and a tour blog. Yay for indie porn! I found this via the NoFauXXX newsletter today with its mini feature of adorable model Poppy Cox that mentioned her work with Bike Smut – in fact, she’s one half of the dynamic duo behind Bike Smut.

A hologram Tupac was one thing, but the hologram hottie cavorting in a closed Parisian lingerie shop after hours might have been my favorite use of the 3D technology yet. Recently at Place Vendome, Paris, after 9pm at the flagship concept store for Empriente Lingerie a special private show could be watched through a street-level store window. “Lady Light” was a silvery hologram girl who pranced and played in different parts of the store to sexily model bra and panties while appearing and disappearing in showers of stars. The amazing spectacle is over, and I’m sad to have discovered it so late (it ran from May 23-26). Here’s to hoping I find out sooner in the future. (via Inspiration Room and Buzzfeed)

The movie received 330 backers and raised more than $33,000 from Kickstarter.com — $10,000 more than it asked for.

That’s not Christian Bale above – that’s adult star Giovanni Francesco as Batman in Axel Braun’s upcoming porn parody Dark Knight Rises XXX.

Stills are starting to hit the internet for Axel Braun‘s Dark Knight and they’re so remarkable that some geek and comic forums are saying they’re almost more excited for Braun’s Dark Knight than Christopher Nolan’s. You might remember Braun from his epic Batman XXX porn sendup, which cleverly followed the retro TV series to otaku levels of obsessive geek perfection.

Here’s Bane, played by Derrick Pierce, being directed by Axel Braun:

The release date for Dark Knight Rises XXX (Vivid Video) is July 20, 2012 – simultaneously with Hollywood’s The Dark Knight Rises. Looking at Aiden Ashley as Catwoman (below) I think there is a very real risk that Braun’s straight-to-DVD version might be better than its non-porn doppelganger. Anne Hathaway who?

Braun’s Dark Knight XXX comes right after his an Avengers parody. Yay for geeks in porn! I now have a fantasy of taking the non-sex versions of Axel’s best parodies (Batman, Avengers, Star Wars, Scream, and likely Dark Knight and She Hulk) – and having a boozy, rambunctious screening. Sound fun?

Unfortunately, in yet another mainstream porn publicity fail, there is currently no film page or singular social media URL for Dark Knight XXX for me to send you to (I nabbed stills from Twitter and Facebook feeds of cast and director). I’ll let you know if one magically appears. Vivid isn’t doing anything to make these films easy to be a fan of, and their website’s film pages remind me of everyone’s angst about trying to watch HBO’s Game of Thrones. Boo hiss.

The call is open to all genders and orientations, all styles and experience levels, and selections are screened over three weekends to audiences in Seattle, Portland and Olympia.

Awards: Curators select three primary winners and other selections and award winners run throughout the festival – attendance sells out, and lavish parties highlight the festival.
Deadline: June 30, 2012

CineKink NYC

The tenth annual CineKink NYC will be in 2013, and this is a ver popular traveling “Sundance for porn.” The publicity is excellent and this is where full-length films can get their day in the sun and much more – including touring as part of the festival the country throughout the year. The festival is usually in February and early entries can start as soon as October.

Good For Her’s Feminist Porn Awards

The FPA’s combine awards and events to honor “erotica focused on women and marginalized people.” Their website states they award films where, “A woman had a hand in the production, writing, direction, etc. of the work” “It depicts genuine female pleasure” and “It expands the boundaries of sexual representation on film and challenges stereotypes that are often found in mainstream porn.” The next one will likely be in April 2013.

This video has boy candy and girl candy in equal measures – with a strange sci-fi vibe that makes its sexy “Fight Club” genderfuckery all the more surreal. Apollo Rising is Laura Egan’s very short film inspired by Jack Dempsey, the gentleman fighter of the Prohibition era. Oh, and there’s satisfying amounts of nudity, plus an entire cast of fashion models.

Now just two weeks old, Indifferent Cats In Amateur Porn is a very fun Tumblr dedicated to the smile-inducing moments in porn when kitteh steals the show. The site currently relies heavily on Flash videos but is packed with gems – and a genuine interest in wishing the girl in front of the camera would get out of the way so we can see the cat better, thank you very much. The above image is from Indifferent Cats but sourced from I Feel Myself, one of our favorite amateur sites. (found via Mike FTW)

Like many people, I’m feeling Kickstarter exhaustion – but after watching the pitch-trailer for Born Into Porn, I am absolutely riveted. I really hope this gets made because not only do I really want to see it, but I think it needs to be seen. This is an endorsement (and I don’t know how I missed Jiz Lee’s supportive post about it).

In just the small snip in the above video, we get a shocking range of reactions to the concept of porn stars as parents from mom and retired porn star Hypatia Lee, to a shocking attitude of violence against porn performers by people who claim to define American “family values.” (Thanks you, Deb.)

I found Elegy Ellem while chasing down threads from J. Isobel de Lisle’s portfolio: this girl is so hot and fun to ogle online that she needs her very own post. Don’t miss her substantial NSFW website and she’s also on Twitter.*

Also: this Ninja Deer latex outfit she modeled for Obsidian Design is epic. (Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire, anyone?)

* For what it’s worth to mention, I hardly ever include Facebook pages of those I post about here because Facebook just LOVES to randomly close accounts of anyone with vaguely 18+ content – and I hate going back to fix dead links on a site that has over 11 years of content. Plus I’d feel terrible if someone’s account got yanked by way of any praise/attention I sent their way.

Female fetish photographer J. Isobel de Lisle (Tumblr) has a sexy portfolio (website) of latex-clad and fetish-trussed alt models wearing the likes of Obsidian Design, and includes hot models like Rachel Dashae. She’s based in New Jersey (not LA, NY, the UK or SF for a change).

• About parents, kids and the porn talk: Parents have learned to expect, and often dread, two sex talks with their children: the early lesson about the “birds and the bees” and the more delicate discussion of how to navigate a healthy sexual life as a young adult.

Brilliant idea, and very real: “Grand Old Party” is a data visualization project that took Gallup approval ratings for Republican GOP candidates within a time frame, projected the data as butt plug shapes (finally, the GOP is anal-safe), printed them with a 3D printer and cast them in black silicone.

“Grand Old Party” – GOP – is a set of butt plugs. Matthew Epler explains,

Each shape is determined by voter approval ratings amongst registered republican voters for each of the GOP presidential candidates.

The height is a measurement of time, beginning December 10, 2011 and ending on April 1, 2012 (bottom to top).

The width of each object is the quantity by percentage (out of 100%) of approval for that candidate. All data comes directly from Gallup polls. (Grand Old Party, via Jiz Lee)

The butt plugs cost $65 each, though Perry and Bachmann are cheaper because they’re so little.

I love Kim Kane and I love Steve Diet Goedde, so this simple and light sexy little video of Kim in crinkly plastic is a nice afternoon treat.

For reporter Rebecca Baillie, an 800-person survey of self-identified problem porn users can easily be applied to the entire porn-watching population. Worse still, she then went on to suggest that a compulsive use of adult porn led to an inevitable use of child abuse material.”

• Be VERY CAREFUL reading current headlines misstating that New York has made child porn legal. This is not true. The court ruled [in a child porn case] that while possession of (and creation of, etc.) illegal images was a crime, simply looking at illegal images online is *not* a crime. Big, BIG difference. Also, this is *only* on New York state, and not on a Federal level.

• The Lusty Lady Theater, San Francisco and the world’s only strip club cooperatively owned and operated by the women entertainers themselves, stands in danger of coming apart at the seams. As Uptown Almanac reports, the Lusty Lady’s head Madam and all but one member of the club’s worker cooperative board have quit.

• It’s hard not to be affected by an article titled “Kids Raped, Sodomized on Facebook Pages,” the first of a four-part WND series about child porn and Facebook. While it’s good that WND is bringing attention to the general problem of online child pornography, it’s unfortunate that it is focusing only on Facebook.

• A judge in northwest England is set to sentence nine men for luring girls as young as 13 years old into sexual encounters using alcohol and drugs — a case that has stirred racial tensions and sparked claims that authorities are failing to protect vulnerable children in state care.

• A recent list compiled by Men’s Health magazine crowns Orlando, Florida the porniest city in America, a somewhat dubious distinction for a town more widely known for family-friendly fare such as Walt Disney World and Sea World.

• Perfect 10 has filed a lawsuit against Tumblr for copyright violations. In a complaint filed in New York, Perfect 10 alleges that Tumblr failed to respond to repeated requests for takedowns and–perhaps, more damningly–that “Tumblr employees have posted infringing content to Tumblr’s servers to help start the business.”

• Anna Paquin is tired of the misconceptions surrounding her sexuality. Admitting that there are some individuals who opt to identify as bisexual because it “feels less scary than making a statement that they’re gay,” Paquin still shoots down the popular notion that bisexuality is a choice.

If you’re not massive Game of Thrones fan like I am, then you’ll have to excuse me as I spin like a gleeful loon in my office chair upon discovering Maisie Dee’s My Life and Porn blog.

Clever clever spankophile girl Pandora Blake recognized Dee on the show as a fellow spanking aficionado and porn performer, and found Dee’s fun, sex-positive blog. We’re especially glad for this discovery, because Dee is an exhibitionist gem and she blogs about working in the sex scenes during filming of the show.

Maisie Dee plays one of Littlefinger’s sex workers, one that has been servicing the Lannister castle under the despicable and corrupt Court of Joffrey. On her blog she details getting hired for the show, her impressions of the actors (spolier: they’re awesome people), and what it’s like to work on sex scenes for this amazing production. She’s fabulous at talking about her scenes without giving away what happened to her character after the last white-knuckle sex encounter she was in.

Being a real-life porn performer has enhanced her performances and she talks about that, too. She also talks about the notorious spanking (beating) scene she did, and that she did actually take the belt a bit, rather than the prop.

Spanking fans will love Miss Maisie Dee, and so will porn-positive fans of the show. As an added hardcore bonus, Dee likes to blog still from her hardcore performances as well. Dee’s blog is a treat all around.

Here’s a snip from her work during the beating scene:

(…) we shot the scene in order, sometimes using the full real belt sometimes having to chuck it aside for the soft props one. (…)

Once we got into the spanking scene proper I felt less like an imposture as that was the bit I was qualified to do after all! It was strange having to have that level of intensity for such a long day it was very draining trying to live it each time – get me I sound like I was trained by Stanislavski! I will add that at the time we shot this I had no idea that the actor who plays Joff was over 18. He looks so young and obviously is 14 in the books. So I spent the whole day feeling a bit weird around him as I was sure I technically shouldn’t have been naked so near to him.

The best bits of the day was laying bent over the bed while the makeup lady bruised up by bum! The makeup girls were ace and I spent some time telling them how to fake cum shots for future productions as apparently it comes up more than you’d think. (… read more, masiedeehasablog.blogspot.com)
