Sex and the City - Adelaide and Tokyo Version

Sex sells they say and with a great deal of coverage of this film, I felt it important to bring this important news.

Adelaide has made it into the big time with the first ever Sexpo being held here.

Based on my experience in Japan I got the feeling that this sort of stuff would be more out in the open, but it seems that it is not the done thing to wander around Sex Exhibitions in Japan.

Japan recently had its first-ever adult expo at the Makuhari Messe convention center near Tokyo. In a press release the organizers of the "Adult Treasure Expo" vowed to "draw the adult industry out of the darkness and secrecy which has traditionally surrounded it, to the place of honor and value which it deserves.

Honor and Value indeed. Interesting stuff all the same if you are into exploring ways to make it better.
