SMUTFEST PDX April PHOENIX SEPTEMBER AUSTIN JUNE & ATLANTA NOVEMBER

SMUTFEST™ — PDX · APRIL 2026

This is not a book fair.

This is where grown readers, indie authors, and luxury vendors stop pretending and start celebrating what we actually love.

Wine. Desserts. Dark romance.

Romantasy. Smut. Erotica.

Unapologetic pleasure—with taste.

If you read it after hours…

If you annotate the spicy parts…

If midlife made you bolder, not quieter—

Welcome.

WHAT SMUTFEST™ IS

A curated, adults-only literary experience blending:

🔥 Exclusive indie author readings
🍷 Wine, beer & cider tastings
🍰 Luxe desserts & indulgent treats
🖤 Metaphysical, holistic & erotic vendors

This is grown.

This is intentional.

This is not for everyone—and that’s the point.

FINAL WORD

SmutFest™ isn’t loud.

It’s confident.

And confidence?

That’s the sexiest thing in the room.

MMMDI × SMUTFEST™

Menopause Made Me Do It — And I’m Not Whispering About It.

SmutFest™ isn’t just about books.

It’s about the moment women stop shrinking.

MMMDI (Menopause Made Me Do It) is the official midlife anthem of SmutFest™—

because confidence, desire, and saying exactly what you mean didn’t come out of nowhere.

It came with hormones.

And freedom.

🖤 WHY MMMDI × SMUTFEST™ WORKS

Women 35+ are the highest-spending readers
They’re done apologizing for pleasure
They want experiences, not gimmicks
They buy merch that feels like identity—not irony

This crossover is:

Sexy without being juvenile
Funny without being cringe
Bold without being explicit

Exactly how grown women move.

👕 MMMDI × SMUTFEST™ MERCH (FOR WOMEN 35+)

All merch includes subtle MMMDI branding.
