Since 2005 the HUMP! Erotic Film Festival has challenged ordinary people from all over the Pacific Northwest to become temporary, weekend porn stars-by making their very own five-minute dirty movies for a chance to win big cash prizes! And they did not disappoint! The resulting short films run the gamut of sexual styles: straight, gay, lesbian, transgender… every color in the sexual rainbow… and some we never knew existed.
HUMP! films are funny, thought-provoking, sad, artistic, outrageous, and almost overwhelmingly sexy-because they’re real. And they’re real because they were created and performed by sex-positive people, just like YOU. That’s why we’re bringing the very best of HUMP! to Chicago!
See 15 of the hottest HUMP films in action… they’ll make you laugh, squeal, and marvel at the broad (and creative) range of human sexuality. It’s HUMP! Tour 2014! And you’re going to have a blast.

Andy CosmicRoo, Mr. Rubber Toronto, Wins Mr. International Rubber 17
Mr. Midwest Rubber Jesse is 1st runner-up
Mr. Fetish Leather Austria InTrouble is 2nd runner-up.
Isn’t he adorable?
What a fun weekend with a well deserved Rubberman chosen to represent the Rubber Community. I’ve been watching Andy “Cosmic Roo” on his journey up to MIR on Instagram and Twitter for about a year now. His enthusiasm, sense of humor and creativity making his own rubber gear was impressive and always made me smile. While ALL of the contestants were fantastic, this Toronto Rubberman got my audience vote at the end of the night. Absolutely thrilled he won. You can follow and SUPPORT him during his year as MIR 17 at the links below.

I was lucky enough to be given a Press Pass for MIR weekend which I took advantage. Let’s just say I have my work cut out for me sorting through a great deal of sexy shiny photos. Many are fun candid shots. And, yes, there will be a “BULGE REPORT: MIR Edition. I hope to share them here sometime this week.
