Dan Savage’s HUMP! Film Festival Is Touring For Its 20th Smutty Season

POP CULTURE

Fresh short form sexiness for your public viewing pleasure!

Hey Fleshbot fans! I’m back with another visit to Dan Savage’s HUMP! Film festival in the books! HUMP! is celebrating 20 whole years of showing creative and sexy short films to the horny and curious adult masses and once again will run two parts to their tour this year because there were just that many awesome films submitted.

I attended the Baltimore stop (at the fabulous Creative Alliance) on the Part One tour, and it was so awesome. I got to watch 23 adult films for ticket price of $25, and if you manage an early bird ticket, you can pay a bit less. They are a maximum length of five minutes each, but they manage to pack a lot into a small package. A short film, like a short story, really needs to get straight to the point.

With apologies to Forrest Gump, HUMP! is like a box of chocolates. Some of the films are little melt-in-your-mouth sweets that provide the most beautifully ephemeral sensory input without a whole lot of depth. From this batch, that would be Orcagasm, an incredibly silly little stop motion animated film about furries having whale sex, and Jell-O Fantasy, which is just a lovely pairing of naked humans and copious amounts of Jell-O, like it says on the tin. Also, a great mini documentary called El Sofa (insert JD Vance joke here), which interviews the hardworking owner of a viewing booth and sex club in Spain. Some are more like caramels and nuts in that you have to spend time chewing them a bit for them to really release all of their flavor. A Tickle starring two non-binary folks topping a hot transwoman is like that, and You Should Say Fuck Too really unpacks a lot about sexual expectations as well as consent and how sexy it can be. Still others are dark, decadent truffles with so many layers of flavor and unusual ingredients that you’re still thinking about them days later. Dice And Desire looks on the surface like just a sapphic twist on the trope of a roleplaying game group, but is quite a bit more. Ecotopia and Dominant Nature are two films that explore ecosexuality, which is always a fascinating topic for me, and they spark lots of thoughts about the relationship of humans to nature. Also with this particular batch of films, there is inexplicably a small and inedible plastic polar bear in the box of chocolates-- at least inexplicable till you’ve watched the wonderfully WTFtastic The Polar Bear’s Foreskin, anyway. I always did love an assorted box of chocolates-- no surprise that I like a little bit of everything, being a non-binary polyamorous pansexual switch.

I just really enjoyed all of the films and the shared group experience of consuming this media. Like a mainstream movie theater experience, it’s always fun to hear the reactions of the audience and be with other people who love the thing you love, but with HUMP!, sometimes you can just feel someone’s kink coming out of their brain for the first time, or get the feeling that lots of people are going to leave that screening wanting to try at least one sexual thing they saw that is new to them. This makes a fantastic date night choice, by the way!

Anyone who is of legal age can make a movie and enter it for consideration to be shown at HUMP! There doesn’t seem to be a lot of rules on amateur versus professional performers being in the films, as long as the films are independently produced. The only rules on content are no scat or actual animals, which leaves the floor wide open in terms of sex and kink acts.

HUMP! 2025 Part One is touring through June 19 and also doing a few special Pride Month events, after which streaming options will be announced for the films from the the first part of the tour and before you know it, dates and tickets will be announced for part two which will tour in the fall. If you missed the films from previous years, those are available to rent as part of the extensive streaming library on the HUMP! website.
