ADELAIDE WORLD RECORD – THE MOST FEMALE ORGASMS – It’s an issue that has confounded scientists, therapists and men for generations – but Adelaide is set to solve the mystery! Sex Machines Australia aims to establish a world record for the most number of (fully clothed, no sex required) female orgasms. Certainly, there’s no doubt Adelaide is a sexy place, and now it’s time for the rest of the world to find out why.

WORLD’S BIGGEST PORN STAR IN ADELAIDE– Leading international porn star Belladonna was recently crowned the ‘THE DIRTIEST GIRL IN PORN’ at the 2007 FAME awards. She will be joined at Adelaide Sexpo by another leading adult star, Bobbi Starr. They’re looking forward to meeting their fans in the flesh.

STRIP POKER TOURNAMENT – With the booming popularity of poker tournaments worldwide, it only stands to reason that Sexpo should host a major strip poker contest. On the hour, three male and three female visitors to Sexpo will play for a range of prizes. The person with their clothes on at the end of the game wins!

PRICASSO – Queensland-based Tim Patch has stunned the world with his ability to paint lifelike portraits using his penis as the brush, and this year he even entered the Archibald Prize with a self-portrait. Apart from his depictions of our leading politicians (“it takes one to paint one!”) he will be painting portraits of Sexpo patrons who want a truly unique keepsake of their visit.

EXHIBITORS – A LIFESTYLE EXPERIENCE – Sexpo is sexy and surprising. There are all the exhibitors you might expect to find – including the very best in lingerie, sex toys, glamour photography etc – and then there are plenty of things that surprise. Whether it’s skydiving, designer handbags, chilli sauces, jetskis, herbal aphrodisiacs, Egyptian linen (and much more), Sexpo is a true adult lifestyle experience.

AUSSIE SEXPO GOES GLOBAL – Sexpo is a unique Australian concept that has now gone international. South Africans are now enjoying the Sexpo experience, and more overseas venues (including Greece) are in the planning.

THE AMATEUR STRIP & ON-STAGE ENTERTAINMENT – There are regular stage performances at Sexpo and it’s a high-tech, big entertainment experience. From the hottest male and female performers, to the fun of the Amateur Strip challenge (that’s right, many brave locals will be stripping down in front of thousands – a must see experience!).

History of Sexpo

Since its debut in 1996, SEXPO has attracted nearly two million people and is now a well-established event around Australia. But it came about in a most unlikely fashion – through a near-fatal car accident.

As it was, motor mechanic David Ross suffered serious injuries and was forced to make a career change.

Using part of his insurance payout, he purchased a share in a brothel (as you do!). At age 25, David entered the newly legalised world of prostitution.

David sold out of the brothel within a year. He took a public relations course and was soon appointed PR consultant for Top of the Town, one of Melbourne largest legal brothels.

He later moved to Club X, a national adult store chain, to do their marketing.

His brief was to make adult bookstores more appealing and less intimidating to women. Why? Because women are the largest purchaser of adult merchandise. Men might buy DVDs and videos, but women buy sex toys, so it was vital to welcome them into the stores.

He believed that by providing a relaxed, non-threatening environment, potential customers –especially females – would feel more comfortable examining the products and asking questions.
His original concept was to hold a two-day "touch and feel" expo of adult toys, an event that, in his words, "would allow people to see how they could bring a spark back into their sex lives without being scared or embarrassed". Held at the Carlton Crest Hotel and featuring just 20 stands, the event drew a crowd of more than 8000 people!

The unexpectedly large response inspired David to stage the first formal Sexpo. He folded invitations, sealed envelopes and wrote every media release, radio and TV advertisement himself. Today he employs a team of advertising, marketing and PR consultants, and is the overseer of a major national and international event.

David’s motto is 'Lighten up! Sex is Fun'. He likes to think Sexpo has been instrumental in changing people's views towards sex by creating an environment in which people aren't afraid to ask questions.

Mums and dads, boyfriends and girlfriends and even 80-year-old couples can all be seen walking hand-in-hand around Sexpo …so it would appear that his concept is working!

Sexpo is not just an exhibition about sex. It is about health, sexuality, and adult lifestyles.
