You're listening to a Stranger podcast, www.thesanger.com.

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.

So I have a little film festival every year in Seattle.

It's called Hump.

It is the Pacific Northwest's biggest, oldest, and only amateur and locally and not so locally produced porn festival.

And what it is is people make five minute max length pornos or erotic films.

It can be animation.

They can be hardcore porn.

They can be softcore porn.

They can be erotica.

And they submit them to hump.

And then we put together a program of the best of the submissions.

And then the audience votes.

And there are cash prizes, including a $5,000 grand prize for Best in Show, all awarded by the audience.

And I have to talk up hump because I want people to submit every year.

And what's crazy about Hump and what I love about Hump is it's a porn festival that I think even people who hate porn can tap into. It becomes

this celebration of sexual diversity because what's really amazing about Hump is, you know,

gay people make porn and kinky people make porn and straight people make their porn and lesbians

make their porn. We've got trans porn at Hump for a couple of years running now. And everybody just shows their thing, shares their kink, their turn on, what works for them, what they want to see on the screen, the kind of porn that they enjoy.

But then everybody in the audience is all over the map.

You know, nobody watches porn like that.
