I know, I know, you’re sitting there going “What the hell does porn have to do with Hip Hop?” Right? Maybe some of you don’t care what it has to do with Hip Hop and just want to see some chicks. I’m sure there’s some people out there appalled that a Hip Hop website would admittedly indulge in the preposterous world of porn. Well kids, the dirty little secret has gone mainstream and the fact of the matter is that damn near everyone watches porn. Front if you want to. But you’ve watched it too.

Which leads us to “What You Won't See @ Porn Convention.” I usually give you a behind the scenes recount of all the things that BET and these various other award shows keep off the air. But considering that the porn convention itself is something that you’ll NEVER see on television, the good ol’ bad guys at HHDX has decided to furnish our wonderful readers with some pictures and an editorial discussion some of the wild shit we saw at this interesting convention.

Day 1
“All of these wonderful toys!”

With the Animal to my Hawk (photographer David Goodson) by my side, the Road Warriors began our quest for all of porn’s wonderful glory (we’d be joined later in the week by Anthony Springer Jr, aka Droz aka the 3rd Road Warrior). It was almost shocking that HipHopDX even got credentialed for an event that many consider to be a taboo subject in many journalism circles.

But we’re HipHopDX.com!

We know that sex is just another part of Hip Hop culture. It may not be the 5th element (breakdance, emcee, graffiti, djing and P-O-R-N) but it does have a place in our culture. Especially considering that there’s so many rappers that are into porn and porn stars that are into rapping. But more on that later. Let’s begin our epic journey for the golden hooters…

It seemed to be a relatively tame day as the Consumer Electronics Show was in full swing about 200 feet from where the AEE (Adult Entertainment Expo) was being held. It was interesting to see the geeks attempt to merge with the freaks. Some of the geeks kept their nose to the grindstone and got their nerd on while most stared in adoration as the plastic jiggle chicks sashayed into the Sands Expo Center. Some were bold enough to try and simply walk into the AEE with their CES badge. What an ass they made of themselves by security just waiting to tell these giddy people “No” and crush their pornographic dreams. As for us? We were smart enough to have badges for BOTH events. So I could get a good look at Metal Gear Solid 4 and then flip over to see some buttcheeks. Ahhhhh...the life of an editor.

As porn’s finest began to spill into the Sands Expo Center, much of the attention hovered about the Trade Show – which is where sex toys reign supreme. To say that what we witnessed was wild would be an understatement. With 3 foot tall penis fountains, button downs that are plastered with porn chicks caught in the act and lifelike dolls that you can have your way with, this trade show was eye opening to say the least.

The interesting thing about the Porn Convention is that there are booths that have absolutely nothing to do with porn - such as a teeth whitening booth.

I guess porn queens have to keep those teeth pearly white and man juice doesn’t quite do the trick. So for a few bucks you could sit and get your teeth done. Elsewhere where booths for 3D porn (yes…it literally jumps out at you), iPod vibrators (when the bass hits, joy for the women!) and t-shirts for the Pu-Tang Clan (now that’s something to fuck with).

Some ladies suckered me into a gulp of Deep Throat Energy Drink…

Everyone was quite receptive to DX being in the building as vendors exchanged cards with us and delivered their spiel on why DX’s readers would be interested in purchasing a 3 foot penis fountain or why the Ipod dildo is perfect for that B-Girl in your life.

Wow. But we'll stick to the idea that our readers like porn.

After being numb to the pictures and sounds of sex that have surrounded us for the past few hours, the Road Warriors decide that the first day of “work” is done. As we exit the convention center with bags of porn (research is what we call it), we forget that once we reentered civilization, it’s not considered normal to carry a see thru bag filled with porn DVDs and calendars. You know how we figured that out? When we set foot into the adjacent casino and wondered why all these old folks were staring at us like we just urinated on their slot machines. The faces of disgust reminded us that porn is still a dirty little secret that everyone has.
We mashed out and remembered to put our “gifts” in a bag you can’t see thru. Continued on page 2 »
