### The 18th Year of EXXXOTICA Returns to Edison, New Jersey If you're anywhere near the Garden State this October, you might want to clear your calendar. EXXXOTICA—the nation's largest adult event dedicated to love and sex—is coming back to the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison from October 23-25. And this year? It's shaping up to be the biggest one yet. Tickets are on sale now, and if the early buzz is any indication, you don't want to wait until the last minute. Ticket and exhibitor sales are both trending at historic paces, which makes sense given this is the 18th anniversary of the event in New Jersey. ### A Star-Studded Lineup That Keeps Growing Here's where things get really interesting. The lineup of superstars, legends, influencers, and creators is absolutely stacked—and it's still growing. Fan favorites like Jenna Jameson, Lisa Ann, Maitland Ward, Phoenix Marie, Brandi Love, Alexis Texas, and Blake Blossom are all scheduled to appear. That's just scratching the surface. Other names on the list include Gianna Michaels, Vicki Chase, Lauren Phillips, Brett Rossi, Jenna Haze, Piper Perri, Joanna Angel, Tanya Tate, Sara Jay, and dozens more. More than 300 creators and performers are expected to attend, with new commitments coming in daily. Many of these stars will be at the EXXXOTICA Spotlight, sponsored by LoyalFans, as well as with other sponsors like Brett Musette Group, Glam Management, Paysite.com, Stripchat, and STD Hero. The show floor spans over 100,000 square feet, so there's plenty of room to explore. ### Entertainment That Goes Way Beyond the Stage If you're wondering what actually happens at EXXXOTICA, the answer is: a lot. The EXXXOTICA Entertainment Stage, sponsored by Chaturbate, will host more than 50 shows throughout the weekend. We're talking award-winning performers, aerialists, dancers, fashion shows, competitions, and interactive contests. One highlight you won't want to miss is the Dare to Please Burlesque Showcase, produced by Dare Taylor and Miss Spent Youth, featuring six performers from across the U.S. Award-winning feature entertainer Vampiress will also perform daily. And fan favorites like Ms. EXXXOTICA (sponsored by LoyalFans), the Pole Championships (sponsored by Brett Musette Group), and the Team Texass Twerk Competition hosted by Alexis Texas always get the crowd going. ### Education, Community, and Real Conversations Here's something that might surprise you: EXXXOTICA isn't just about entertainment. The Seminar Series, sponsored by ProDx, offers more than 40 discussions, demonstrations, and classes led by experts, therapists, doctors, and industry professionals. Topics range from improving your love life to sexual health to getting started in adult businesses. On Saturday, there are several Ask Me Anything (AMA) panels where you can ask performers anything. There's a panel on LGBTQ+ inclusivity and advocacy featuring top names like Siouxsie Q, plus an AMA with top BBW creators. The biggest buzz? The MILF AMA with Brandi Love, Phoenix Marie, Tanya Tate, Sara Jay, and Lady LorReign. ### Why This Year Feels Different At EXXXOTICA, there's always something for everyone. But this year feels particularly special. The 18th anniversary, the record-breaking sales, the massive lineup—it all points to an event that's grown into something much bigger than just a trade show. It's a place where fans connect with their favorite stars, where education meets entertainment, and where the adult community comes together. Whether you're a longtime attendee or curious first-timer, this is the year to check it out. So if you're in the Edison area from October 23-25, grab your tickets sooner rather than later. Trust me—you won't want to miss what they have in store.
