This past weekend, I attended and conducted a couple of seminars at the Fraser Valley Taboo Sex Show which was located in Abbotsford, BC, Canada. For those who knows about Abbotsford, BC, it is the 'bible belt' section of British Columbia, Canada. Even though Abbotsford claims to be very religious - it is also considered the gang and murder capital of Canada. So this area has different opinions and viewpoints!!!
So this past weekend on my hour drive to the Fraser Valley to the Tradex location which is next to the Abbotsford airport, I was surprised by the religious protesters outside the gates, claiming that God will judge me for my sexual acts!!! I love protesters - good and free media!!!
So the show itself, honestly the 'vibe' at the Taboo Sex Shows are always the same. Bargain basement products and supplies. On the show floor you get your variety of different Toy Stores, but they are all trying to under-cut each other's pricing. And now there are lots of Smoke, Pipe, Piercing etc and etc, which all are under the category about Sex.
But seriously when the original Everything to Do with Sex Show first came to Vancouver at the Plaza of Nations in 2002, the atmosphere was about learning and showcasing products. The price of the booth back then was very reasonable so as a business owner you didn't have to "sell all your product" to make the base price of the show. I know the cost of the Abbotsford Taboo Sex Show 10 x 10 foot booth is over $1000.00 before carpet, hydro, lights etc. So maybe that is why all the booths are fighting over the customers and causing the pricing wars???
So did I see any new toys or products at the Taboo Show. No, nothing too exciting, I didn't even see the 'last year items" like the new Ride'em from Doc Johnson, or the Soraya from Lelo, or the new lubricants from Jo Lube or Gun Oil Hybrid from Empowered Products. And from Fun Factory they had all the older re-chargeable vibrators from the old Delights and Sinnfluts. I did not see the new YOOOO, Biminis or even the new Duke from Fun Factory. So as for products - if you want to get a discount on older items, this is the place to go.
Now as for my seminars, I had such a great time with the attendees. My seminar was really mellow and basic, focusing on Couples and Positions called 'Thinking outside the Box". A simple seminar on re-discovering the basic positions to help improve your orgasms, energy and blood flow and realizing that good sex is all about having your body in comfortable angles. The attendees of my seminars were great, they asked lots of questions and I hoped some of my comments and suggestions helped them realize that the discovery and energy of sex is always a learning quest!!!
So if anyone attended the Taboo Sex Show last weekend in Abbotsford and attended my seminars and wanted to email me direct for questions, products or more about my seminars please contact me at laska@sexedwithatwist.com
