Jonas Does Portland (New Jersey) : Taking Exotic To Exxxotica 2018
by Jonas Barnes
I can honestly say that working with Exotic has been great—I love you guys and I love writing for you. And, now, I’m happy to bring yet another awesome layer to the table. As it turns out, one of the biggest conventions in the adult entertainment industry is happening the first week of November, in New Jersey, and would you have guessed that this motherfucker got a press pass? So, for three days straight, I’ll be representing Exotic at Exxxotica! Now, what exactly is Exxxotica, you ask? That’s what we’re here to talk about.
Exxxotica is coming to Edison, NJ, from November 2nd through the 4th. The convention covers all aspects of the adult entertainment industry—from mainstream film, to camming, to dancing, to sex toys—it’s all over the fucking map, in the best way possible. I’ve seen the convention from the outside perspective, thanks to friends that were booked on it, and from everything I’ve seen, it looks like one hell of a good time. I’m happy to rep Exotic on the floor, but I want to get into what we’ll be seeing this year.
Let’s start off with the main stage, showcasing the Team TexAss Twerk Contest, sponsored by Chaterbate. I’m gonna repeat that—a fucking twerk contest! If you don’t think I’m gonna have a full report on that ass clapping glory, you’re insane. There’s also going to be an Ariel Silk Contest and a Pole Championship Contest on top of that, along with feature performances from adult film legend Tera Patrick. But, don’t think they forgot about the ladies, because they’re also rocking the Men Of Risqué Dance Troupe. It’s gonna be rounded out with hip hop performances, DJ features and more. The main stage looks to be on fire this year.
One of the other badass things about Exxxotica, is that they teach, along with providing entertainment. All weekend long, they’ll be showcasing seminars for convention attendees. I wanna cover a few that I’m personally looking forward to. I do photography on the side. So, of course I’m looking forward to "Let’s Take Dirty Pictures," an Erotic Photography Seminar. How about "Spank Someone Happy?" You’re goddamn right, I’m into spanking! Don’t overlook the celebration of G-Spot stimulation, called "Squirtshop." I have a special love in my heart for squirting and you should too. Then, there’s probably the most Portland seminar of the whole weekend, "Crystal Sex: Using Crystals For Masturbation." I don’t think aligning your chakras has ever sounded more fun. On top of all that, there’s at least 20 more seminars. covering everything from BDSM to Sex Positive Parenting to Sexual Health and everything in between.
What would an adult entertainment expo be without the stars? Exxxotica is PACKED with stars this year and I can’t wait. Shine your fucking beautiful eyes on this scheduled lineup of stars: Brandi Love, Honey Gold, Phoenix Marie, Abella Danger, Christy Canyon, Alexis Texas, Asia Anderson, Tori Black, Tera Patrick, Darcie Dolce, Katie Morgan, Jill Kassidy, Kagney Lynn Karter, Lisa Ann, Monique Alexander, Evan Stone, Adriana Chechik, Vicki Chase, April O’Neil, Tanya Tate, Jayden Cole, Mia Malkova, Jynx Maze, Penny Pax, Dakota Skye, Bethany Benz, Luna Star, Zoe Clark, Lenna Lux, Emily Addison, Veronica Vaughn, Zelda Morrison, Casey Carter, Goddess Lilith, Olivia Leigh, Tiffany Watson, Jade Kush, Sara Jay, Cee Jay Strokes, Kimberly Chi, Tia Cyrus, Ramona Flour and Kimmie Kaboom. The lineup is absolutely insane. It’s a fantastic mix of legends & current stars. That group of appearances alone is worth the price of admission to me.
One thing that makes Exxxotica stand out, is the access that fans get to the stars. The free-roaming setup gives fans full access to meeting the stars of the industry, but there’s so much more than that. For some, the real party starts when the convention closes each night. After each day’s festivities, Exxxotica attendees are invited to come out to the after parties. Are you shitting me? Is there really a night of dancing and drinking with pornstars three nights in a row? I swear to fuck, if I weren’t sober, I’d be dead after that weekend. I honestly have no idea how anyone survives the weekend every year, but I’ll be fisted if I’m not going to try my hardest.
To wrap this up, I want to tell you guys all something—you’re the reason I’m doing this weekend of coverage. This is all your fault and everything that happens falls on your shoulders. That sounds like a threat, but I promise it’s a good thing. See, all the fun I’m going to have that weekend and the interviews I’m going to do and the pictures I’m going to take and the videos I’m going to film are all for you. So, stay tuned to the Exotic Facebook page (Facebook.com/XoticMag) for updates. I’ll be going live and letting you all into Exxxotica right along with me.
