(DALLAS, TX – JULY 29, 2015) Yesterday, the EXXXOTICA Expo made headlines in the Dallas area after an advocacy group expressed their concerns about the event.

The EXXXOTICA Expo, since its inception in 2006, has been an event for adults to have an open and ongoing dialogue about adult topics. We have produced 25 successful events that do just that, and Dallas, Texas will be no different.

“In the last decade we’ve produced 25 events in 6 cities, all without incident,” said J. Handy, Director of EXXXOTICA. “In every new location we face various misconceptions about what EXXXOTICA truly is.”

Handy continued, “Sex trafficking is a major concern in society and we are firmly on the side of those fighting it. We’ve worked diligently to make sure there are no unlawful activities at our events.”

Close to half a million consenting adults of virtually all ages and from all walks of life have experienced EXXXOTICA in areas including Chicago, Los Angeles, New Jersey/New York and South Florida.

“The fact is, we are upstanding corporate citizens who do not engage or allow unlawful behavior at our events. EXXXOTICA, which brings between $5-7 million to the local economy, is simply a net-positive for the City of Dallas,” added Handy.

Those with concerns about EXXXOTICA Dallas would be surprised to learn that over half of the show’s total attendance historically is made up of women and couples. EXXXOTICA’s opening day, billed as “Ladies Free Friday,” females have outnumbered males 2 to 1 at the show.

In the expo’s 10-year history, attendees have exercised their freedoms of expression, often with their spouses and significant others. Thousands of attendees are expected over the three days to have a chance to purchase products that interest them, meet their favorite stars from the adult entertainment world, enjoy stage shows and partake in seminars that have piqued their interest.

“As Americans we’re honored that this country protects our right to produce an event that’s enjoyed by so many. We can’t wait to see everyone at the show!” Handy concluded.

EXXXOTICA Dallas takes place August 7-9 at the Dallas Convention Center. For more info, please visit: http://exxxoticaexpo.com.
