Sexpo 2016: celebrating 10 years – now bigger and better than ever!
Sexpo, Africa’s largest human sensuality and lifestyle expo,
and one of South Africa’s favourite annual exhibitions, is back –
and
it’s bigger and better
than ever. Its 2016 incarnation sees a new date, new venue and the introduction
of some new touches.
Sean Newman, managing director, Sexpo “It’s our tenth
anniversary, so we’re really excited about this year’s Sexpo, which has
been remixed, revamped and reimagined to continue to appeal to an ever-growing
and seemingly insatiable market, as well as attract new visitors.”
“Some key changes
have been effected,” says Newman, “all of them
designed to meet current and future needs, as well as address previous input
from visitors over the years. So, to start, we have a new venue. Our new home,
Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec, allows the entire exhibition to take place
under one roof.”
“We’re also introducing a limited access ladies-only area, a safe space
where women can shop and explore their sensuality –
complete
with wine bar – away from peering eyes and male input. But, we
haven’t forgotten the guys, either – we’re also introducing
the Ultimate Man Cave this year, a space that’s dedicated to
select male-interest lifestyle products; it also features a bar stocked with
the finest Kraft beers on offer.”
“We are delighted to welcome Sexpo back to the Johannesburg Expo Centre
in October,” says JEC Chief Executive Officer, Craig Newman. “It’s a significant
year for a number of reasons. The JEC has been home to Sexpo for a number of
years and we have built a successful relationship with the show organisers so
we are excited to host it again. Also, the Sexpo celebrates its 10th
anniversary in 2016.”
Newman says that show fanatics can expect a bigger and better event
this year, with a more sophisticated approach. “The show will be
classier while still delivering the same fun and excitement that fans have come
to expect,” he says. “Of course, the Expo
Centre is the perfect venue to deliver a memorable performance, as we provide
ample parking space, easy access to and from the venue and multi-purpose
exhibition halls, satisfying every possible show requirement. It’s an event not to
be missed!”
This year’s Sexpo also sees the return of the legendary adult entertainment
lounges including Teazers, Teaze-Hers, Phantasm LGBTI Lounge, Pulse Boys
Lounge, Coyotes Angels Club and Theatre Erotic. Other highlights include the
BDSM Play Area, informative seminars hosted in the Spartan Workshop, extreme
body painting by Airvolution and Pricasso, described as “the world’s most famous
penile artist.”
Of course the show would not be complete without local and
international stars appearing at the expo. These include Frog productions and
their extravaganza shows, the world famous Amateur Strip, Suzie Q Australia’s aerial and pole
queen as well as international porn stars Jessica Drake, Vicki Chase, Tanya
Tate and Bonnie Rotten.
But it’s not all sensual fun and high-spirited games –
education
and health also form an integral part of the Sexpo mix.
Says Sean Newman, “Sexpo is about exploring the full spectrum of the
sensual side of life, rather than pure sexuality –
catering
to all interests and tastes. Sexpo is a destination lifestyle exhibition that
provides a safe space for everyone regardless of race, age or sexuality, or
whether you’re daring or shy. There’s something for everyone to explore and enjoy.”
