Where can you find vibrators, lube, hundreds of porno movies, leather, latex, and lots of sexy porn starlets ? The answer to that question, at least for a few days in October, was at the 10 th Venus.Berlin trade show. Powerhouses in the adult entertainment industry flocked to the city of Berlin for a few days of networking, parties, voyeurism , sex, and lots of German beer, all under the Berlin radio tower. This giant venue hosted 320 exhibitors from over 30 countries and 6,000 traders from over 50 countries. It is estimated that over 20,000 consumers attended this giant marketplace over just a few days! We were thrilled to be attending on behalf of HotMovies.com, one of the main sponsors of this enormous event. Oh, and not to toot our own horn or anything, but HotMovies.com was honored to win the EroticLINE Award for Best VOD Portal this year. Michael Diamond happily accepted the award on behalf of Hotmovies.

The first day was strictly a B2B affair, but the public was permitted entrance for three days. There was quite a lot to see in the numerous halls, and we are pretty sure that we saw quite a lot of it. Inflagranti Film Berlin, Girlfriends Films, Magma Film, Shots Video, Marc Dorcel, and Adam & Eve Pictures were just a few of the studios who were represented. Most of the porn starlets were European, but there were some gorgeous ladies we did recognize. Sophia Rossi, Jana Bach, Betty Bi, Sophia Gucci, Tyra Misoux, and Mandy Bright were just a few of the lovely ladies on the scene. The only male star that we noticed was Lexington Steele, but we were almost totally blinded by all the gorgeous girls who were wearing next-to-nothing! Most of you reading this will be more impressed with the hot chicks anyway!!

At many of the booths, there were a bevy of European beauties who were ready to please the fans. Several booths featured dancers using stripper poles to highlight their talents, while other booths actually had live sex shows taking place! This kind of thing is not approved of in the United States at adult industry trade shows, but at this venue, it was strictly anything goes! This also meant that there were some very hard core scenes being shown at some of the booths. We can't tell you what they were, but we can tell you that they are strictly verboten in the USA !

As if all of the vendors and their models were not enough to keep us busy, there was also a stage show that ran throughout each day. Shows were simple and effective: hot young girls removing their clothing as they gyrated and strutted across the stage. Some of the performers used props like cigarettes, stripper poles, dildos, and even some surprised audience members! Now, most of the stage performers were women; however, there was at least one sexy man that we saw who happened to be dressed as a sailor . This show, however, seemed to be focused on what men want: sexy women.

Unfortunately, we speak no German, so we were not able to interview any of the hot European starlets. Thank goodness that these ladies understand the universal gesture for, “May I take your photograph?” There are plenty of photos of these hot ladies for you to view. While you browse the photos, if you see a star that you recognize, you can let us know her name so that we will know who she is next year in Berlin
