XBIZ Expo, self-described as “the premier business-to-business event exclusively for product manufacturers, retail buyers and the broader pleasure community” returns the beginning of next year (January 8-12 to be exact). But this year, the show for businesses that sell adult products, social interaction in this business space and a roll out of innovations all from will be presented slightly different.

Happening at LA’s Loews Hollywood Hotel, pleasure purveyors and those interested in same, will be able to showcase their wares per usual on the show’s floor, occupying booths or private suites which they pay well for. But equally, the adult novelty retailers and other folks in the business will also be able to interact virtually. This hybrid format ensures that everybody who is attending the XBIZ Expo—manufacturers, buyers, reviewers, press, etc.—can participate in the show.

Hybrid Is The Bridge

The COVID-19 lockdown surely helped grow our modern sociability paradigm of being less social with one another…in person. The anonymity and convenience of web purchasing (with the general public never have to even leave their house to buy a vibrator or anal toys!), makers and buyers both are ever more comfortable with hybrid interaction models. And to pleasure product sellers, those numbers about online sales don’t lie.

With over 50% of global adult product sales happening presently via an online retailer, global sex toy market sales expected to nearly triple in less the upcoming decade, and E-commerce accounting for two-thirds of sexual wellness devices appearing on the market, businesses people who come to an event like the XBIX Expo can’t help but see the logic in hybrid interaction. Add to this the score of the businesses that might want to attend the XBIZ Expo being from any of the four corners of the globe, it seems only natural for XBIZ to offer attendance in the best, and most modern way, they can.

More Than Just Its Selling ‘Floor’

The annual expo culminates with what XBIZ proudly declares is “the pleasure industry’s biggest night,” with the company’s roll out of their XMA awards. Outstanding achievements in pleasure production, best and brightest annual retailers and executives are highlighted at this end of the expo and surely something considered, debated and if one is a winner, bragged about months after the show.

All of this news and more, will come to be posted on the XBIZ Expo’s official website: https://xbizexpo.com/

  • A New Twist To An Old Game: The TENGA SPINNER SPN-003

    The TENGA SPINNER SPN-003 delivers a unique twist on male masturbation. Pretty much taking up the job of spinning the second you insert yourself into the long jelly-flexi tube, the all-new internal coil here adds immeasurable pleasure as you execute each stroke. You have to be fully invested (inserted all the way) to get the most out of this little machine's jerk-off assistance, but it will get you off in no time if you keep your thrusting steady and firm.

  • Co-starring with Lulu Chu's Main Squeeze

    Who wouldn't want to get up close and personal with a beautiful Chinese porn star? The Lulu Chu Main Squeeze stroker is a male masturbator rendered in that high-end line of jerk-off sleeves based on the pussy proportions of a famous adult star. With a textured interior, set in a hard-shell case, an oh-so-twistable airtight cap that adds wonderfully to the unit's suction, a side 'squeeze plate' feature so the user can add or decrease pressure as he sees fit, and the ability to disassemble for a quick clean up, you get a lot for the price of this toy. Co-starring with Lulu has never been better. And let's face it, this is as close as any of us is ever likely to get to fucking a porn star. Why not have at it with this well-made, soft and welcoming life-like vagina sleeve.

  • Gettin' A Hand...From The Handy

    Enter the world of state-of-the-art, motorized Scandinavian male masturbation with The Handy. From its big black box discreet packaging to the heavyweight apparatus that holds the cup-like ribbed sleeve that connects you to the unit via its 'TruGrip' band, really what doesn’t this jerk-offer do? Online you can hook up to the 'Handyverse' (QR Code included with the instructions) and synchronize the machine to video and VR headsets. In this mode, you can also have a partner manipulate your strokes and speed via remote control. Offline, it becomes a highly versatile masturbator with a bunch of speeds and vibration modes. And with no battery running the motor, you just plug the Handy in, then yourself, and away you go. While this might not be the easiest machine to fit on yourself, and it does tend to get a little heavy the longer you are in it, you pay for what you get here....one of the higher-end motorized male masturbators on the market today.

    Everything You Need to Know Before Buying Your First Vibrator

    Picking out your first vibrator can feel like a lot with so many options and buttons. But it’s also a really fun chance to get curious about what you like. There are tiny bullet vibes, buzzy wands that mean business, and suction toys that feel like a whole new universe. The trick is to start with what feels good to you. If you’re more into external vibes, great. Curious about internal sensations? Go for it. There’s no “right” pick here, just what works for your body and mood. And hey, you don’t need to nail it on the first try. Think of it as an adventure, not a final exam. Read a few reviews, stick with brands people trust, and let yourself enjoy the process. You’re absolutely allowed to have fun with this.
