LOS ANGELES — The 2026 edition of XBIZ Expo wrapped up on Sunday afternoon on the mezzanine level of the Loews Hollywood Hotel, where prominent buyers and sellers celebrated a raft of new deals and promising connections.

Nearly every exhibitor returned for Day 3, including Aneros, COTR, Cousins Group, Crave, Full Circle/Miami Distro, House of Desire, Kiiroo, Lemorie, Like A Kitten, Orgie, SOS, SVibe, Swiss Navy and Tenga.

Showing off various offerings from Full Circle/Miami Distro was Expo newcomer Vanessa. She walked XBIZ through a range of toys, torsos, strokers, enhancements, lingerie, lubricants, cleaners and select THC products.

“We’ve got a little bit of everything,” Vanessa said. “And we’ve been around for about 40 years, so we’ve perfected everything too! Our honey THC packs are great because they stay in your system a little longer. We also carry kratom, so it just depends on your mood. And we have our Kitty Cat Sensual Enhancements and Love Bears Male Enhancements. If you use those, make sure you have sheets that can get messy, because they definitely will.”

Vanessa also touted a male enhancement supplement called Big Wood that features global meme sensation Big Barry on the packaging.

“He may be dead, but his dick will live on — and if he’s on the package, you know the product’s going to be good,” she joked, before showing off Savage Me’s line of life-size dolls, which are roughly 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weigh 100 pounds and retail for around $1,000.

“It’s right there in the name,” Vanessa laughed. “She’s going to fuck you whenever you want. Who doesn’t want that?” 

Vanessa shared that her favorite part of the Expo was reconnecting with companies that were featured at the Chicago retail store where she used to work.

“I spent 13 years working for Lover’s Lane, which has stores in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan,” she said. “I worked as a spokesmodel and did catalog work for them as well. I’m having fun here at the Expo because everyone’s chill and having a good time, and no one’s uptight — because we’re all having orgasms, and that releases endorphins. So it’s a happy industry, and I’m glad to be back — and talking about anal sex again. We’ve got some rotating butt plugs, by the way.”

On the opposite end of the show floor, industry veteran Michelle from Sliquid unveiled a rebrand of the company’s Balance massage oils.

“We’ve completely redone the aesthetic on it to present a more serene, calming, relaxing feeling and a more seamless, synergetic connection to med spas and the authentic spa experience,” Michelle explained. “We’re really trying to broaden our offerings with these types of products.” 

Discussing sourcing, she noted that Sliquid had luckily avoided being directly affected by President Trump’s tariffs. 

“All of our products and components are from within the U.S., from the caps, bottles and labels to the actual contents,” Michelle said. “So generally speaking, it’s not something we’ve had to deal with.”

Over at the House of Desire booth, sales manager Caitlin showcased the three-year-old Los Angeles-based brand’s hanging lingerie and accessories like pasties, rhinestones, chains and body jewelry.

“We release seven collections each quarter, and keep certain programs in stock year-round, like accessories and our panty program,” said Caitlin.

Given the fluctuating state of the economy, she observed, one overall trend she’s been seeing is increased aversion to risk.

“I’m sensing a lot of safe styles, and things we know will do well,” she said. “We may be a little less adventurous because no one knows what’s going to happen, and being price-conscious is a big topic of conversation right now.”

Elsewhere, Jesse from Dripana, which just launched a few months ago, showed off the company’s line of interactive sex torso toys, which come with “intelligent suction” and “smart lubrication.”

“We have three automated systems, including an automatic lubrication system,” Jesse explained. “You preload the lubricant at the top using an app called Interso, where you just tap a button and it sucks up the lube and stores it in her body. When you have sex using the Interso app, the lube will release internally, so you don’t have to stop and keep lubing up — and the faster you go with the sex toy, the more lubricant it’s going to release. It feels very natural.”

Dripana also offers an automatic moaning system.

“If you go faster, she’ll scream faster,” Jesse noted. “You can choose from different voices, or even personalize the voice with one of your own choosing. Finally, there’s an automatic squeezing system that allows you to feel the toy’s vagina tighten and squeeze internally.”

Jesse revealed that Dripana is working on a system that would allow long-distance partners to have sex with each other from thousands of miles away using sex machines that move in sync with the user’s body.

In the booth next door, Robin from Lemorie displayed a new product: a body pillow with sex toys harnessed to it.

“You can either hang it up and use it, or lie down with it,” Robin explained. “Not only does the pillow vibrate, but it’s very easy to strap on the toys.”

Lemorie attended XBIZ Expo last year, and returned because of the community, Robin said.

CamToyz’s Daniel told XBIZ that he is especially excited about the company’s new Elixir liquids collection, which features vibrant, colorful packaging that draws the customer’s eye.

“Elixir has everything from pheromones to tightening gels, arousal gels, lubricants and liquid vibrators,” Daniel said. 

“We’re also known for our dolls and our dildos, which last forever,” he added. “They’re great products at a great price, and that is what defines the success of our brand.”

CamToyz sales associate Tony observed that shoppers have been moving away from luxury vibrators that cost $150 to $200. 

“They’re focused on more affordable products that still represent good quality,” Tony said. “Our vibrators typically retail for between $70 and $100, and they’re absolutely top-of-the-line products.”

Overall, he shared, the brand was having a very successful week at XBIZ Expo.

“This is probably the best show we’ve had so far,” he enthused. 

Other participants shared similar sentiments. 

House of Desire’s Caitlin told XBIZ, “It’s been great to get the wheels turning here.” 

Jesse from Dripana said that the new company had made some sales at XBIZ Expo.

“I’ve met a ton of fun people here, so it’s been great,” he enthused. “We have both a booth here and a suite, and all of our meetings have been at the suite, which I think works better because we can have more private conversations.” 

Robin from Lemorie reflected, “Everybody has been very kind and open to talking, and I’ve learned a lot more about this industry in the past year. I think it’s a good idea to promote our brand and get our name out there at this show.”

Michelle from Sliquid said she appreciates XBIZ Expo’s ability to unite the industry under one roof. 

“The Expo is always really impactful for me and my business,” she attested. “It allows me the opportunity to get that face-to-face time with buyers so I can continue to grow and expand by bringing in new clients.”

Michelle also shared that she was also excited about seeing her partner in crime, Sliquid VP of Marketing Erik Vasquez, co-host the retail edition of the 2026 XBIZ Honors later that evening.

“I’ve been working with him behind the scenes on all that, so this year brings a new element of excitement and intrigue for me personally, as well as the company,” she said. “This week has certainly been a success for the brand.”

LOS ANGELES — The 2026 edition of XBIZ Expo officially kicked off Friday morning on the mezzanine level of the Loews Hollywood Hotel, where prominent buyers and sellers mingled in the hopes of closing deals.

Following a lively happy hour on Thursday evening, the event welcomed a raft of brands, distributors and service providers catering to the pleasure industry. The list of exhibitors included CamToyz, Creative Conceptions, Cyberskin, Dr. Tush’s, Erectibles, Fantasy Time, Happy Minds, Honey Play Box, Lovense, My Shemen, Our Erotic Journey, Oxballs, Sliquid, SmartTract, Svakom, Viben, VVSex and XR Brands, among many others.

The Cyberskin team returned to XBIZ Expo eager to show off the 30-year-plus legacy brand’s recently rebranded wares featuring its patented skin technology.

Cyberskin rep Frank Tarulli explained, “We wanted to fine-tune and perfect the models we already had, and I think I can now say that we’ve developed a small, Michelin-star menu of powered male masturbators.” 

Tarulli walked XBIZ through the key features of some of those menu items.

“The Warrior’s has four different vibration modes and three different suction modes,” Tarulli said. “Then you have Titan. It has 10 different thrust modes and vibration modes, and the vibration stems from the shaft area. Wing is also designed to thrust and vibrate, but the vibration stems from the testicular area, which is also patented.”

Cyberskin also offers a model with sexual analytics, while the company’s GalaxyVoy comes with a heating and drying dock.

“There are other heating and drying bases with heating rods in the marketplace, but we incorporated a fan,” Tarulli noted. “Forced circulating air comes up through the rod, so you’ll get 100% heating and drying coverage inside the sleeve, which is better for cleanliness. 

“We also have another model designed to spin and thrust,” he added. “It’s kind of like a washing machine on the inside.”

While Cyberskin ideally hopes to connect with bigger distributors, Tarulli said, the company remains versatile.

“Very large chain stores would be nice,” he admitted. “But we really like having our boots on the ground and working with stores ourselves. Right now, we’re just trying to get our name out there more and prove we can handle a range of different things.”

A range of different things was exactly what Rob Phaneuf, director of sales and marketing at XR Brands, came to XBIZ Expo to talk about. The company has launched more than 120 new releases since August and September.

“It’s just one big game of show-and-tell!” Phaneuf enthused.

XR Brands has been participating in XBIZ Expo for the past several years. For Phaneuf, the event represents a place where customers can experience his products literally outside the box, in a relaxed environment where they can reach out and touch them.

That includes the company’s new Breed Master breeding stand, which comes with a fully adjustable sex machine and a dual penetrator. The whole apparatus retails for roughly $1,200 — typical for a piece of furniture that is expected to last.

“Bang is another one of our most popular lines,” Phaneuf said. “It’s our affordable luxury line. Everything is really competitively priced because the products are all rechargeable and they have super-strong motors, so you’re getting more bang for your buck.

“Jock is our newest line,’ he continued. “We acquired the brand when XR Brands purchased Curve Novelties last year. Jock was always a big mainstay at Curve, so we’ve broken it down to three different lines in three different categories, all under the Jock umbrella.”

Phaneuf also lit up when talking about the company’s Creature line, which boasts everything from lubricants to cock sleeves. 

“You don’t have to just fantasize about being with the creature anymore,” he declared with pride.

Not far from the XR Brands booth was Dr. Tush’s, where owner Rob Christ discussed the company’s aftercare products for anal sex and impact play — plus a recent addition.

“In 2025, gooning was named the kink of the year,” Christ said. “In response to that, we had a number of customers ask us for an aftercare product for gooning, so we launched Afterbate, which is hitting the market this week.

In addition, Christ said, the company has developed “Curated Collections.” 

“These feature multiple products in one premium, high-level package,” he explained. “Because people like variety — different shapes, sizes and materials.”

For Christ, the best part of XBIZ Expo is building relationships.

“It’s odd to be in a community where so many people compete with similar products, yet they all get along well together,” he marveled. “Not only do people want to work with us, but I find this the easiest industry in which to work with other people.”

Around the corner, vegan-friendly wellness brand My Shemen was making its XBIZ Expo debut, offering intimacy oils and body care products. Brand rep Eugenia pitched the line’s benefits.

“Once you’re 35, everyone knows someone dealing with various ailments or managing a chronic medical issue such as vaginal dryness,” she said. “It could be medication-induced or cancer-related, or it could be menopause, perimenopause or even postpartum. 

“I’m going through menopause, and there are all these things that happen to your body that nobody ever really talks about,” Eugenia shared. “All of a sudden, you’re not having sex anymore because you don’t like the smell, or the feeling or the texture. This product helps combat all of that by adding a little slip and slide using ingredients like coconut oil and hemp seed oil, which are absorbed by the body, and are said to help with elasticity and moisture.

“So it doesn’t just improve things in the moment,” she added. “It actually helps moisturize you in the future.”

Eugenia also touted the brand’s all-natural ingredients.

“There are no synthetic fragrances,” she affirmed. “It comes from cardamom oil, peppermint oil, hemp seed oil and coconut. Imagine perfume in a bottle, but for your vagina.”

The company also offers a natural extender for men. It uses peppermint oil to create a subtle icy feeling that not only helps them last longer, but can intensify the experience. 

Around noon, attendees took a break for lunch, allowing everyone time to relax and connect. Those without meetings on the books headed across the hall to the Laurel/Runyon Ballroom to check out the informative panel “From Storefront to Digital: The Future of Adult Retail.” After the panel discussion, guests returned to the show floor.

There, Mikey from VVSex was proudly introducing the company’s line of sexual enhancement gummies: blue raspberry for him, and watermelon sugar for her. The brand also offers Dripz mints, which activate the salivary glands and come in three distinct flavors: Sweet Mint, Super Fruity and Sexy Citrus.

“I’m still learning the sex industry, but my partner Bryce was the owner of Boner Bears, and we’re kicking off the new year with a new brand,” said Mikey. “People are going crazy for the gummies already, and they’re loving the mints, too. They’re really good if you’re a smoker and you get cottonmouth, or if you’re someone who takes prescription pills.”

Of course, VVSex isn’t the only male enhancement product on the market. Elsewhere on the show floor, rep Sylvie touted a new line: Erectibles. 

“It’s vegan and all natural — no drugs or any funny business,” Sylvie said, adding that she has equal faith in the company’s marketing director, Jamael, who previously launched The Male Rose. 

“He’s great at making products go viral,” she said. “He’s why Erectibles is going to be the biggest brand in the male enhancements market.”

On the topic of “biggest,” Oxballs sales associate Kevin noted that his company’s line of cock slings and colorful cock rings added a greater range of sizes this year. 

“Some cock rings are hard, but ours are super soft and stretchy,” said Kevin, touting the range of options for ensuring a perfect fit.

XBIZ Expo newcomer SmartTract’s booth drew attention thanks in part to the bright green tubing used in the brand’s signature device, which company rep Leo described as “the first and only vacuum erection device that is completely automatic and fully technology-driven.”

There are a lot of manual pumps out there, Leo noted, but SmartTract saw an opportunity in a neglected market and brought in electronics and engineering.

“Now we see it used by people who have problems like erectile dysfunction, as well as a large community of men who simply want to enhance their penis,” he explained.

Leo and partners Jacob, Vishnu and Nakulan said they came to XBIZ Expo to elevate awareness of their new brand, and scale their outreach in order to increase sales.

“We already have Amazon and eBay, plus our direct website, but we’re looking for partners — distributors and retailers — who can directly take more sales for us,” said Leo.

Back at XBIZ Expo and manning the Nalpac/Entrenue booth for the second straight year were reps Kelsey and Carly.

“Obviously, there are a lot of distributors at this show, so we were excited to come back,” said Kelsey. “This year, we’re really focused on some items that are exclusive to us, including Doc Johnson’s new Rhino line of enhancements, which has been getting a lot of great feedback from customers. There are chocolates and honeys and pills, and a lot of different ways to participate in this product line.

“We also have the Adam & Eve line, which is an in-store only brand,” she added. “They’re a pillar of our industry and they’ve been around forever, but they recently came out with a line of products that are exclusive to us — just for our brick-and-mortar stores, so we don’t have to compete with their behemoth online business. We can’t always match the discounts you can find online, so we need unique product lines with really beautiful products.

“As a distributor, we sell to everyone, but the brick-and-mortars like having something really unique to them,” Kelsey explained. “People see it in-store and have to buy it there, because they can’t buy it online when they get home.”

The mood on Day 1 of the 2026 XBIZ Expo was understandably much more jovial than last year’s event, which took place as multiple fires laid siege to parts of Los Angeles. The lighter tone highlighted the gathering’s social role in providing the community with a place to congregate and network with fellow industry professionals.

The day ended with a happy hour sponsored by the Sexual Wellness Professional Alliance, where guests sipped fancy cocktails and shared good vibes in celebration of the new year ahead — and in anticipation of Day 2 on Saturday.

LAS VEGAS — Celestina Blooms stars alongside Enzo East in the latest scene from Dirty Cinema’s site Sluts Around Town.

Titled “Moving Day Problems Get Solved by Step-Siblings’ Horny Deal,” the scene opens with Blooms and East arguing over who gets the best room in their new house.

“Enzo throws Celestina onto the bed, and she proposes they share the room because she needs new content, and he needs someone to stream with,” the synopsis reveals. “Before Enzo realizes what he’s gotten himself into, he agrees. Celestina pulls off his pants and gives him a BJ.”

Studio honcho Peter King enthused about the scene.

“Stepsiblings love to fight over stupid shit like who gets what room,” he said. “Sharing the room is a compromise, and obviously, content is king in this case. Our members are enjoying the scene, and maybe we’ll bring them back for a part two with gaming.”

The scene is streaming on SlutsAroundTown.
