Mid October brings to mind several things like the changing colors of the leaves, the crisp fall air, Chrismas decorations in the stores two months early; however, what it reminds us of is that it’s time to get on a plane to Berlin for the
Venus show. On the plane as we’re writing this, we feel that we’re beginning to recover from our exhausting trip and much to our surprise, we realize that there might be such a thing as too many breasts. All right, not really, but there were a hell of a lot of them as far as the eye could see. No, the Venus show is not only about breasts, but it sure makes it easier to take with only a few hours sleep per night and lots of German beer in your system!
The Venus show is the largest adult-themed convention in the world, dwarfing even the
AVN-AEE show in Las Vegas. Once again,
HotMovies.com was a major sponsor of the event, and took us along to document the four-day extravaganza. Held in Fairground under the radio tower, there were room after room of the latest and most unusual
sex toys, new and
vintage porn releases, US and European porn stars, exotic dancers who performed for the massive crowd, jewelry, clothing, shoes, and lots and lots of good German beer! Additionally, one entire room was dedicated as a business to business area where only traders and exhibitors were permitted to enter to strike up new deals.
Unlike any adult convention that we’ve ever attended, the Venus events show no modesty when it comes to nudity and sexuality… according to US attorney
J.D. Obenberger, there is not even a German word that easily translates to the English word “shame.” For many of the thousands of fans, the highlight of the Venus show was having the ability to essentially create their own pornography. Many vendors employed scantily-clad girls to entice the crowd to their booths by performing sexually explicit striptease shows, girl-girl shows, and solo masturbation that sometimes included full penetration with a dildo or vibrator. While photographing the performances, we often found ourselves surrounded by packs of sexually aroused, frenzied men six-rows deep that were frantically jostling for position, camera or cell phone in hand, to capture a shot for their own personal archives. It did not matter to many that most of what they shot was the backs of the heads of the men in front of them.
Some of the major European and American studios were present, such as
Marc Dorcel and
Paradise Films GmbH. Of the porn stars present, we were happy to see two of our former Sybian Rides 4 Cash girls, (watch their Sybian rides for free with this link!)
Puma Swede and
Ava Devine, as well as
Tera Patrick,
Daisy Rock,
Jessica Drake,
Katsumi, Shay Jordan, Tyra Missoux,
Jesse Jane,
Summer Haze, and
Keana Moiré. By the way, for those who haven’t seen Jesse Jane since her Dr. 90210 appearance, I’m happy to report that her new boobs, while not real, are spectacular! European DILF (Daddy I’d like to fuck) sensation, J.P. Love was happily escorted by at least two hot girls at all times. Incidentally, we’d like to mention that it took little coaxing to convince Puma Swede to strip down to her panties and have a go at the mechanical bull. She pulled a spectator from the crowd to straddle the bull behind her. After being bucked off, the nearly-nude Swedish Amazon triumphantly tackled and wrestled the lucky guy to the ground.
Though many were not for sale at the show, there were lots of new sex toys making their debut to the EU market. Coming all the way from Japan, a new masturbation device for men that resembled a Kitchenaid crossed with a woman’s hand was being demonstrated. There were hundreds of colorful
dildos and
vibrators of various shapes and sizes, and some less obvious sex toys such as the
vibrating rubber duckies. A simulated computer world was also being demonstrated, similar to Second-Life or the Sims, where the characters could perform a variety of sexual and BDSM acts with other players.
There was not a large fetish presence, but scattered throughout the venue were a few manufacturers of leather whips, hoods, and other fetish wear. We even spied a latex vacuum bed at one of the very few latex-themed booths. Among the fetish performers, we were happy to see
Domina Irene Boss and bondage model
Jewell Marceau who were marketing their fetish videos in the Business to Business section.
We've just wrapped up photographing at the 2007 Fantasy Fest in Key West, and are heading home. I'll be spending the next couple of days editing all of the photos from four days of shooting, so look for a very large photo gallery from Fantasy Fest later this week!
After a long day of editing, the first photos from the 
This year was the second year that we packed up our latex and flew to London for some kinky, lubed-up fun. We got very lucky and the entire weekend greeted us with nearly perfect weather! Within an hour of getting to our hotel on Friday morning, we hailed a taxi and made our way to the 
The next day we hopped another taxi to ExCeL London for the 
Fortuitously, we were able to see a short fashion show that featured Strictly Sensuous Cloaks & Capes and Good Time Girls. One of the seemingly more popular items for sale was shoes and boots. Foot fetishists were likely in bliss watching an endless stream of ladies try on sexy stilettos, towering boots, and toe-baring strappy sandals.
