Exxxotica New Jersey 2026 Write-up And Gallery

Exxxotica returned to the New Jersey Convention & Exposition Center on October 23-25, 2026, for its 18th annual show in the Edison, NJ venue.

You may be thinking to yourself “You know, Nerd Caliber turned into a hardcore sex website so gradually, I didn’t even notice.” OK, you probably didn’t think that, but I can’t help but take this opportunity to insert my twist on a quote from The Simpsons. While this event does fall a bit outside of the realm of the “nerd culture” conventions we typically cover, cosplay is always the name of the game here at Nerd Caliber, and there were plenty of guests in costume at the show, which is at least in part due to the fact that the show was held near Halloween, which is the case for the New Jersey show just about every year. The type of outfits you’ll see in our photo gallery from the event are what you might see at a Halloween party. A sexy Halloween party.

Billed as “the nation’s largest adult event dedicated to love and sex,” Exxxotica hold shows in several cities across the United States each year. The 2026 convention schedule included four cities; Chicago in April, Minneapolis in June, Edison in October, and Miami coming up in December.

The opportunity to meet popular adult performers and content creators is perhaps the biggest draw of Exxxotica, and the organizers boasted a lineup of more than 300 such guests at the New Jersey show this year, including Gianna Michaels, Phoenix Marie, Piper Perri, Abigaiil Morris, Blake Blossom, Lisa Ann, Misty Stone, Alexis Texas, Alex Coal, Natasha Nice, Sara Jay, Vicki Chase, Blahgigi, Jada Stevens, and hundreds more.

Exxxotica also featured over 60 stage performances and competitions on the entertainment stage throughout the three-day event. Stage entertainment included burlesque and erotic dance performances, a fashion show, a pole dancing competition, the “Texass Twerk Contest” hosted by Alexis Texas, and much more. The Ms. Exxxotica competition is perhaps the most anticipated event at each show. The organizers describe the two-night competition as “a thrilling blend of eroticism, elegance and raw sex appeal” in which contestants compete for a cash prize.

Exxxotica’s Seminar Series, sponsored by ProDx, included a variety of panels aimed to both entertain and educate attendees. Adult industry legends including Micky Lynn and Lisa Ann shared tales from their storied careers. Several AMA panels were held throughout the weekend, covering topics including MILFs in adult entertainment, sexy BBWs, LGBTQ advocacy and FemDom. Other panels were aimed toward people getting started in the adult industry, with topics such as how to successfully run a LoyalFans page, how to properly file taxes on revenue earned, and more.

More than 200 exhibitors and sponsored filled the 100,000 plus square foot show floor, showcasing a wide variety merchandise for attendees to peruse including adult toys and novelties, artwork, clothing, edibles, and much more. There were also a number of booths selling tasty treats such as cookies, fudge, and lollipops molded into, well, shapes that would only be appropriate for a convention of Exxxotica’s nature.

The “Dungeon Experience” at the show invited attendees to join in the fun and explore their kinks and fetishes. In this area, attendees could find experts in Shibari suspension, fire play, and flogging, among other unique activities. Panels were also held in this area to educate attendees on how they could enjoy some of these activities in a safe manner.

Exxxotica also offers a “Ladies Free Friday” promotion at each of their shows, welcoming all identifying women to register for a free general admission ticket to the show on the first night of the event.

The show organizers have not yet announced the show’s 2027 tour dates, but it is very likely that Exxxotica will return to Edison in late October or early November next year. Exxxotica will hold its final show of this year on December 4-6, 2026, at the Miami Airport Convention Center.
