Local moviegoers were exposed to a little more than burlesque dancers and free lube the Coolidge Corner Theatre Saturday night.

Good Vibrations, a San Francisco-based sex toy retailer with a boutique in Brookline, hosted the first Boston-area screening of award-winning submissions from the 2007 San Francisco Amateur Erotic Film Competition. Good Vibrations event coordinator Camilla Lombard said they plan to hold a film competition in Boston next year.

She said the company will accept amateur submissions under 10 minutes for the fall competition. “Any kind of amateur is good and any interpretation of erotic is OK,” she said.

Before the show began, a man walking up and down the aisles handed out “condoms and lube for after the show” to an audience comprised mostly of couples.

“We came to Boston to entertain and titillate you,” Lombard said as she introduced the film screening.

In the eight films featured, actors played roles ranging from rock star and sketch artist to therapist and writer. The six judges delivered their assessments on-screen following each short because the judges could not all be in the same place at the same time, Lombard said.

When the DVD skipped and the ninth and final film Another Night in Illusion was not shown, the audience sighed aloud.

“I apologize for the anti-climactic ending,” Lombard said.

Good Vibrations marketing director Steve Duncan said the Boston audience’s reactions were different to those in San Francisco. “At least here no one is going, ‘Hey, I recognize that bathroom!'” he said.

In the closing credits for the second film Men, director and Bay Area sex therapist Travis Mathews dedicated his work to Sen. Larry Craig. Mathews credited Craig for inspiring his bathroom-set erotic creation, in light of Craig’s alleged solicitation for sex in a Minneapolis airport restroom last summer. The film won “Most Creative” of the competition.

Somerville architect Benai Kornell said she enjoyed the festival and said she also went to the Sex Workers Art Show at the Coolidge on Friday night.

“I liked the dancing tonight — it was good burlesque,” she said. “It’s been interesting to see different people from all areas of the sex industry.”

Laura Ellerbeck, an admissions coordinator for Boston University’s Goldman School of Dental Medicine, said she would entertain the idea of entering Boston’s competition in the fall.

“I saw the HBO Real Sex video, and I’ve been intrigued to come [to the screening] ever since,” she said.

Boston College law student Geoffrey Pickering said he frequents the Brookline theatre and he liked the film Writers and Rock Stars, though it had its drawbacks.

“It was a little too violent and had too much vagina for me,” he said.
