YNOT – AVN’s Adult Entertainment Expo will add a new component to its 15th-annual outing. “The Lair,” a fetish lifestyle exposition, will provide fans and trade attendees alike an up-close-and-personal introduction to BDSM with talent, displays and demonstrations Jan. 17-19.

Located inside the Fan Fest part of AEE, The Lair’s primary emphasis will be on education and interactive experiences. According to organizer Mistress C, The Lair will engulf participants in a world where they can explore a plethora of fetish interests within dedicated play spaces. Participating companies will offer accessories, toys and novelties popular with lifestyle participants.

“The idea behind facilitating the play spaces within adult fan shows is to educate [and] build both tolerance and respect for unique sexual expressions,” said Mistress C., a dominatrix and event planner also affectionately known as the Dungeon Lady because of her extensive involvement in producing the Dungeon Experience. “It is my dream to build bridges so we can play safely together.

“The Lair is a dream come true,” she added. “I look forward to showing the love that only a Domina can give.”

One of the largest adult trade shows in the world, AEE combines business-to-business transactions, networking, knowledge-sharing, talent appearances and special presentations for the public. The event showcases a comprehensive collection of adult talent, exhibitors and products, attracting buyers and fans worldwide.

The 15th annual event will take place Jan. 16-19, 2013, at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Attendees can expect to encounter adult stars from around the world, a robust trade seminar program, stage shows, musical performances and a first look at new technologies.
