Fetish enthusiasts of all stripes will be able to explore the kinkier side of sex at the Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) with the return of The Lair, a stimulating dungeon playground, which promises a supremely authentic BDSM experience for both dedicated fetishists and tourists.

The Lair will occupy the upper level of The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas during AEE, which is held in conjunction with the AVN Novelty Expo (ANE) and will take place Jan. 21-24, 2015. To register for the show, visit AVNShow.com.

For 2015, The Lair promises to be larger than ever, showcasing more performers, live demonstrations and interactive displays that will shock and awe fans. The fetish playground presents several educational exhibitions, and attendees will have the opportunity to purchase kinky trappings and accoutrements from BDSM exhibitors. For more information, visit Fan.AdultEntertainmentExpo.com/thelair.

This year, AEE is proud to announce that online BDSM leader Kink.com will be sponsoring The Lair.

“We are excited to work to help enhance The Lair this year at AEE,” Kink.com’s Matt Slusarenko said. “What better place to demystify alternative sexualities than at the world’s largest adult show.”

The Lair is the place to be if you have been curious about the BDSM lifestyle. The Lair is lined with fetish practitioners of all stripes, often standing next to leather benches or wooden cross-beams or welded-iron contraptions with hooks and eyelets and everything else needed to introduce adult movie fans to what may be, to them, an unknown variety of sex-play.

Drawing both the curious and the committed to the upper level of The Joint, this corner of AEE offers demonstrations and training on ropes, flogging, suspension, and other forms of play that went beyond vanilla into other shades of grey.

With an emphasis on education and interactive experiences, The Lair will bring to life the many aspects of the fetish and BDSM communities, with help from the biggest names and companies in the world. The Lair also will afford companies an opportunity to sell their BDSM-specific accessories, toys and novelties.

Also special to 2015, Kink.com will have directors and performers appearing at The Lair for featured signings. In addition, Slusarenko says, Kink.com will be bringing sets and fetish equipment from its famed location at the San Francisco Armory for fans to view and experience.

“It’s important to make spaces for all communities present not only at AEE but also in the marketplace,” Slusarenko said. “We are always happy to represent all the communities that we will continue to serve at Kink.com and be as accessible as we are sexy.”

AVN also is excited to announce that famed dominatrix Mistress Cyan will be managing The Lair at AEE. Mistress Cyan is the head mistress of Sanctuary Studios LAX, the largest dungeon in Los Angeles.

“I’m very excited to be working with AVN on this show,” said Mistress Cyan. “I believe AVN and I share the same vision as to what we want The Lair to represent in 2015, and that is an interactive experience that all the attendees will remember. We are going to give them the opportunity to see, learn and experience what BDSM and fetish is all about!”

AEE provides an exciting and unique experience for members and fans of the adult entertainment industry.
