"The brand has been around for 20 years. It comes from Australia."
Sexpo™ is the world’s largest sexual health and lifestyle exhibition brand.
After huge success in countries like Australia and South Africa, it was time that this amazing exhibition came to the UK.
Sexpo UK hit London in November 2015 and was held at Olympia in Kensington.
DESIblitz went to the show to find out more about this new show and exhibition in the UK.
The event was organised by Nina Saini, who herself has worked in the adult industry for over 10 years.
“The brand has been around for 20 years. It comes from Australia.” Nina told DESIblitz.
The show has welcomed over 2.5 million visitors worldwide and the UK was not going to be any different.
We asked Nina Saini about the attitude towards a sexual exhibition such as Sexpo UK from Asians.
“Within the Asian community, I think it’s still a little taboo to talk about sex.”
She herself has full family support in what she does and stated she does not hide what she does.
Filled with an atmosphere of open-minded visitors, Sexpo UK had lots to offer for everyone’s taste and discovery. Different types of brands and companies took part in the Sexpo UK experience.
But she feels attitudes towards relationships and even sex are changing.
The UK is a new consumer market for such an exhibition and there was plenty of interest from the public in the exhibitors and entertaining shows taking place.
Latest trends in lingerie, sexual clothing, sex toys, creative and artistic sexual ventures were all on display.
Appearances from many stars from the UK adult industry excited visitors and they happily obliged to sign autographs and having selfies taken.
A huge number of exhibitors came to enlighten visitors about different types of sexuality.
A novel exhibitor was Pricasso, an artist with a difference, proudly painting artwork of people with his penis.
We met up with US TV reality star Farrah Abraham who was attending to promote her new sext toy range teaming up with Topco Sales.
Farrah was ecstatic and was keen to see her Asian fans and overwhelmingly thankful for all the support she has had.
Talking of her female toy range she told DESIblitz:
“We have the new Women’s novelty line. So, get that for your wife or girlfriend.”

His view on differences in attitudes towards sex between South Asia and Europe stem from education and openness in families. He said:
“Generally, Asian communities are more traditional or can be, and they don’t often discuss sex growing up with families.”
Whereas his friends from Europe have much more open sex education early in life.
