With EXXXOTICA New Jersey set to open this weekend, October 4 – 6, at the NJ Convention and Exposition Center in Edison, organizers expect it to be raining women. For this, the 20th show overall for the nation’s largest event dedicated to love and sex, thousands of women are ready to make EXXXOTICA New Jersey their “girl’s night out” destination. Organizers of the show are anticipating attendance from women to virtually equal the number of men, thanks to more stage acts, seminars, exhibitors and stars geared towards the show’s ever-growing female attendee contingent. In addition, to help celebrate this monumental show, all women will be admitted half-price for just $20 to the show all weekend long.

For the last couple of years since the Fifty Shades phenomenon hit the mainstream, EXXXOTICA Expos in locations like Fort Lauderdale, Chicago and New Jersey have enjoyed and welcomed the rising number of women attending the show. The open willingness for women to express their sexuality and sensuality is more at the forefront than ever before. At the recent EXXXOTICA Chicago event, women almost equaled the number of male attendees, even holding the majority of the ratio at times. With EXXXOTICA New Jersey, historically the traveling expo’s strongest event, new records are expected to be set, not only for the total number of attendees with advance ticket sales up 12%, but for the number of women attending the show.

In 2011, EXXXOTICA began seeing an increase in its female attendance. For the first five years of the event the percentage of women hovered right around 20-25%. At the end of 2011, with the launch of the show’s female-friendly promotions, that number had risen to just over 35%. Then, the straw the broke the proverbial camel’s back. In early 2012, E.L. James’ book Fifty Shades of Grey made its way to the top of the best-seller lists. Boudoir photo and novelty parties became more commonplace in cities across the country, women openly viewing adult movies increased exponentially, and sales in general of adult entertainment materials picked up steam thanks to the purchasing habits of females everywhere.

To further accommodate and appeal to the growing female audience, EXXXOTICA added more female friendly seminars and stage acts to its schedule, as well as bringing in several male stars to sign at the show. Ticket promotions geared towards women were also introduced. By the end of 2012, and with three of the most successful EXXXOTICA events during the calendar year, female attendance had risen to 40-45%, and it continues to grow.

At EXXXOTICA Chicago this past summer, a record was set with the number of women attending Friday night for the show’s opening actually surpassing the number of men. In fact, overall attendance by women over the three days passed the mark for the previous 18 other shows in the history of EXXXOTICA. Now with the New Jersey event, which has been a stronger market historically, organizers are anticipating this to be the first EXXXOTICA that sees women outnumber men on the show floor, and with that comes preparation to make the ladies happy.

This increase in female attendance has had a ripple effect on many aspects of the show, but the most noticeable has been the drastic increase in the onsite sales for exhibitors and sponsors of EXXXOTICA.

Charles Craton, a veteran adult novelty retailer and longtime EXXXOTICA exhibitor agrees. “We’ve seen more and more women at every show we exhibit at. And let’s face it. If your significant other tells you she likes a certain product, you buy one in every color.”

But it’s not just the companies that are thriving, so are the adult stars on hand to meet and greet fans.

“The overall vibe of EXXXOTICA is unique because of so many women attending,” said award-winning adult film star Allie Haze. “It makes it so much more than just an adult convention. It’s like a party with 20,000 of your closest friends.”

Gianna Michaels, the popular adult Star and EXXXOTICA Fan Choice Award winner, agrees, adding, “I have lines all day of women and couples. It’s awesome to meet people who are open with their sexuality and not afraid of it.”

While many of the women are excited to meet their favorite female stars of adult like Haze and Michaels, they are even more thrilled to meet their male co-stars who are scheduled to attend such as Evan Stone, Ryan Driller, Seth Gamble, Brendon Miller, Manuel Ferrara and others. Even Ron Jeremy, the anti-sex symbol enjoys long lines of women waiting to meet him and get their pictures taken with the adult legend. Female friendly stars such as the legendary Jenna Jameson, jessica drake, Nina Hartley, Kayden Kross, Tori Black, Lexi Belle and more will have throngs of women waiting to meet them, and so will stars of the gossip world attending such as‚ ‘Teen Mom’ Farrah Abraham, Sydney Leathers and other special guests.

On the main stage, renowned male dance troupe MEN — The Show, will be performing each and every day, as well as other stage acts that women want to see. Seminars lead by a variety of experts on topics that women want also take place daily, and on the show floor there are even speed dating events taking place throughout the weekend for those single ladies who just might want to meet someone special. Exhibitors with products geared towards women are spread all over the massive convention. It all adds up to a full three days that would make any woman feel at home at EXXXOTICA.

“We continue to do everything we can to bring the best from the adult world to EXXXOTICA,” J. Handy, director of EXXXOTICA, said in closing. “Sex is not a dirty word, and we are proud to provide a forum for both men and women to celebrate sexy in a fun, comfortable and open environment.”
