Fancy a ride inside a giant penis? Want to fake an orgasm in front of 4,000 people? How about entering a stripping comp? You can do all this at the Brisbane Sexpo this week; plus, if you’ve dreamt of a career in compèring, this is your chance to put it on the line – Sexpo is looking for someone to host next year’s show.

Ofcourse the hottest part of Sexpo is always the RedHotPie.com.au Sex Sessions stand, where you can hear sexperts giving you the good oil on all things sex and relationships, as well as snapping free pics with the stunning RedHotPie party girls and guys in front of the ever-busy RHP Paparazzi wall.

Sexpo director David Ross came up with the idea for an adult event that mingled sex and entertainment back in 1995, and he promises that this year’s Sexpo is brand spanking new.

And apart from the obvious universal appeal of the Fake an Orgasm and Amateur Strip events, there’s a chance to see how good UK reality TV star James Tindale looks in real life – as well as his Geordie Shore co-star Sophie Kasaei. The pair are heading to Brisbane for Sexpo, giving the public a chance to get a photo and meet the sexually charged twosome in person.

Adult store merchandise will be on exhibit and for sale, and you can pick up showbags – if you can’t decide what to get, there’s a mystery bag. There’s fetish clothing and footwear and a hair and make-up station where punters can glam up.

“We’ve got a $150,000 stage and then we spend another fifty grand on talent going on the stage, that’s everything from Bad Boys Australia to female troupes and audience participation,” Ross says.

“The amateur strip show on Friday and Saturday night is something no one should miss. It’s rare that we don’t get half a dozen males and females up, usually more, and it’s a site to behold. The audience love it and for the people it’s their five minutes of glory because they’ve got an audience of up to 4,000 and they’re on a fantastic stage.” Ross says there’s a form to enter the strip show on the website, but admits many people make a spur of the moment decision to Magic Mike it.

The Shafter is a giant penis you can get inside for – ahem – a ride. “It used to be a fairground rocket,” Ross says. “People come out laughing; and I have heard that people get a bit amorous in there as well – it’s all dark!” After that, there’s the Fake an Orgasm event: “Couples get up on stage, all kinds of couples and sexualities – friends, lovers – and they’re encouraged to fake an orgasm. People have an absolute laugh.”

Brisbane’s reputation for being a tad prudish means up until now there’s been no nudity on stage. “However, we have negotiated, and this is the first time in Brisbane’s history that we’re allowed full nudity on stage,” Ross reveals. The event is governed by an adult entertainment license, with strict controls on who can enter, so leave the kids at home.

“It’s great to walk into a room and look around at 4,000 people and think, well I’m not the only one who is interested in finding out about my sexuality,” Ross says. “You see people of all ages and persuasions; I’ve seen Muslims walking around with headwear on, and older people – it’s a melting pot of all kinds, and it’s a bit of fun.

Sexpo may change someone’s life this year: the compère search could offer a great start to anyone who thinks they have the gift of the gab. “We’re looking for submissions from people who have some experience in emceeing and compèring, and we’ll have our professionals to walk them through,” Ross says. “We’ll fly these people to our Melbourne show later in the year and the winner will be the major compère in the Brisbane show next year.”

Those interested in BDSM can wander through the Fetish & BDSM zone run by The Salon, where there will be Shibari demonstrations by Lucero. And one last thing: Pricasso will be there too, just in case you would like your portrait painted by this… er… seminal artist.
