LOS ANGELES, CA. – At 4 pm today, EXXXOTICA Los Angeles, the nation’s largest love and sex expo, will open its doors to attendees with an official ribbon cutting ceremony.

Produced by Victory Tradeshow Management and sponsored by HotMovies.com, EXXXOTICA takes place all weekend in the Los Angeles Convention Center’s South Hall. Also in the South Hall is HempCon, the nation’s largest medicinal marijuana expo. The sudden cancellation of the Sunset Junction music festival leaves Los Angelenos craving excitement, which EXXXOTICA provides—from the mild to the wild.

Friday, August 26 is free admittance to EXXXOTICA for all ladies. All weekend EXXXOTICA boasts an eclectic lineup of female and couples-friendly stage shows, seminars and exhibitors. The Hollywood Men male dance revue and Shane’s World Hottest College Dude contest provide the eye candy, while there are also educational seminars to stimulate the female mind: jessica drake’s Guide to Fellatio and Anal, burlesque dancing with the LaLas, the art of striptease with Miyoko Fujimori and more!

For a complete stage show schedule, including vintage burlesque dancing from The LaLa’s, Hell’s Belles and the Pretty Things Peep Show, as well as the Ms EXXXOTICA Contest and R&B singer Toy Connor, visit www.la.exxxoticaexpo.com/stageschedule.

There’s even a concert to open up the expo on Friday, featuring a band made up of three of the hottest male adult film stars.

A last minute addition to the expo is Cirque de Bella. After months of training, legendary adult performer Belladonna will unveil her sensual silk acrobatic routine. All three days Belladonna brings the dramatic flair of Vegas to the LA Convention Center. For more information, visit www.la.exxxoticaexpo.com/presenting-cirque-de-bella.

The over 30 hours of seminars taking place in EXXXOTICA’s two seminar areas more than doubling the number of topics presented in previous years of the show.

Highlights include humorous spoken word sessions with legendary adult stars Ron Jeremy, Savanna Samson and Evan Stone, Lesbian Sex 101, a look at racism in adult entertainment, fighting online piracy, the future of technology in adult entertainment, workshops on writing erotica, and erotic photography with Holly Randall, and more.
