What is EXXXOTICA?
What Happens at EXXXOTICA
EXXXOTICA is a three day, adults only event where entertainment, education, and sexual expression come together in one place. People attend for all kinds of reasons. Some plan a date night or a bachelor or bachelorette party. Some come with friends. Others just want to see it for themselves. No two visits feel exactly the same.
The show floor features more than 150 exhibitors & sponsors offering products, services, and advice to help you explore and enhance your love life. You can attend educational seminars, learn new ideas and techniques, and talk directly with brands and educators in an open, approachable setting.
EXXXOTICA brings together over hundreds of top stars, creators, and influencers for meet and greets, photos, and fan interaction throughout the weekend. Live performances happen daily on our entertainment stage, including burlesque, male revues, specialty acts, and the crowning of Ms. EXXXOTICA.
Guests who are curious about kink and fetish can visit the EXXXOTICA Dungeon Experience & All-Access, where live BDSM demonstrations and guided learning take place in a respectful, structured environment. Couples and open minded attendees can also explore the CouplesX Lifestyle Experience, created for people interested in meeting other like minded adults.
What to Expect on Your First Visit
What makes EXXXOTICA unique is that you set your own comfort level. You can watch, learn, shop, participate, or simply take it all in. The atmosphere is welcoming, sex positive, and judgment free, whether you are brand new or already experienced.
