A fine topic Vicky,<br><br>For 7 years I have curated DIY films for Bike Smut, a touring program of erotic bicycle films. We are quite possibly the most ethical graphic content anywhere.<br><br>Bike Smut works to create communication about sex, gender, identity and transportation in a positive way. Through workshops, dance parties, lectures, discussion groups, potlucks, craft nights, and naked/underwear/themed bike rides Bike Smut helps communities define obscenity. The shared experience brings the private matter of porn into the public, throwing the Victorian era taboos out the window.<br>
<br>Bike Smut is civic. Current political policies are designed to repress sexual expression and transportation choice. The Bike Smut film festival challenges that trend by enthusiastically displaying the quality of creative expression and the amount of fun inherent in both cycling and sex. Both actives are worth elements of a healthy lifestyle and a pleasant quality of life.<br>
<br>We are accepting new movies now!<br>Submit to Bike Smut 7: The Porny Express<br>Deadline 5/5<br><a href="http://bikeporntour.blogspot.com/2013/03/hop-on-porny-express_15.html">http://bikeporntour.blogspot.com/2013/03/hop-on-porny-express_15.html</a><br>
<br>We dont put films online or on DVDs, the only way to see it is at a screening of consensual adults. Which is something I was considering for the Friday Film screenings as a fundraiser for Sudoroom, or possibly just a workshop.<br>

Re. "What does it mean to hack sexual health...?"<br><br>
Here's one example. For years I've had a slogan I tell people
(typically guys) whose sex drive is on overdrive to the point where
it warps their attitude toward others (typically gals):<br><br>
"Masturbate and keep your objectivity."<br><br>
70% of guys "admit" that they play with themselves, and the other
30% are lying. Yet the hypocrisy around this subject is just
astounding, and the result is that physical needs become conflated
with social attitudes and generate oppression of self and oppression
of others.<br><br>
Envision a culture where relationships are based on partners feeding
each other (as in, holding the forks and spoons full of food up to
each others' mouths during a meal) instead of on people having sex
with each other. People would run around frantically seeking
partners because otherwise they'd either have to feed themselves
(oh!, the embarrassment!) or go hungry and die. <br><br>
That's where our culture is about sex. It's crazy. <br><br>
So I'd suggest "masturbation liberation" as a sexuality hacking
topic. <br><br>
It even has major potential for cybernetic devices and interfaces
and online communication enhancements. <br><br>
"Did you try building the new Orgasmatron?"<br><br>
"Yeah. The interface works pretty well, but there's a bug in the
code, so I patched it. Wanna' download my version, see what you
think?"<br><br>
Later.... "Hey, your version's a lot better than the original. Now
I was thinking, the interface could be improved. Here, I'll make
one for you on the 3D printer."<br><br>
"Oh, cool, yeah I like your CAD diagram, I think it'll work, so go
ahead and print one for me..."<br><br>
Here's another potential topic:<br><br>
Chastity belts for men in cultures that oppress women (for example
by making women wear oppressive shapeless garments from head to toe,
that barely leave enough of an opening for their eyes to see the
world). <br><br>
Even one decent prototype would stir up a bunch of publicity about
the subject, and hopefully generate some embarrassment on the part
of men whose answer to their own weaknesses is to oppress women.
"Stop the problem at its source: the dirty minds of men!"<br><br>
OK, enough for one night;-)<br><br>

Today I Learned event "Hacking Sexual Health". I'd like to open
up the floor to multiple facilitators interested in this topic
area to help me lead either one TIL workshop, or a series of
workshops if there is sufficient excitement. Hacking Sexual
Health is intended for sexual and asexual people alike.
<div>
<br></div>
<div>So what does it mean to hack sexual health? Ruminate on it.

<div>My personal interest is hacking menstruation. I'd like
to lead a workshop for creating cloth pads out of recycled
clothing. The workshop is intended both for people who
menstruate and for people who have friends who menstruate
(and want to make them lovely presents!). We will go over
different lady product options and have fun
cost-comparisons for different products and unproducts. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I will be reserving either April 27th or May
4th upon consulting my secretary. :P</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Please contact me if you are interested in
developing your own workshop or helping me to facilitate
menstruation hacking! </div>
