This page is dedicated toward workshops, experiments, and any other fascinating projects revolving around the idea of hacking sexual health, sex(uality) and gender. How you define these things is yours to develop and evolve. The greater intention of our hosting events around these topics is to bring them to the forefront and together discover how though our common creativity we can make Sudo Room a more sex-positive and gender-inclusive community. | |||

Bike Smut asks for sex without shame and transportation without homogeny. It explores radical politics while remaining approachable and fun. Bike Smut believes in the importance of bringing communities together to redefine obscenity by creating a consensual space where different interpretations of obscenity can be watched and discussed. It is a joyous exploration into two integral parts of a quality human life.
