The countdown to all that is erotic, exhilarating and entertaining has begun. SA's premium Health, Sexuality and Lifestyle Expo, Sexpo, promises to serve up a mouth-watering array of spectacular stars, stimulating stage performances and a variety of diverse exhibitions that cater to any and all tastes at the Expo Centre Nasrec from 27 to 30 September.

Sexpo is the world’s largest event of its kind: A fun, exciting and safe experience which celebrates all aspects of sexuality in a refreshing and enjoyable way.

There is plenty to look forward to at this year's show. The hottest international and local talent will be putting on a series of steamy, sizzling, sensuous and sultry entertainment acts that will have you hot under the collar and begging for more. Get lost in “Flights of Fantasy” and celebrate the “Fairytale Fantasies” with Frog Productions’ mind-blowing stage acts. Ladies can relax in the Ladies’ Lounge, for eye-candy, cocktails, and perhaps even a sneaky lap-dance from the delectable dancers. Keep an eye out for all-male dance group, Pulse, who will be showing off their magic moves and magic wands. Men definitely don’t have to feel left out though, as Lolly’s Lounge will be hosting a traditional Gentleman’s Club, where gents can sip a drink and see a tantalising show.

Shimmy up that pole

Giving things a sporty slant is Vertical Vixen. This leading Johannesburg pole fitness and pole dance school shows women how to get in touch with their inner vixen, improving their confidence as they learn to wrap their bodies around the pole in amazing displays of strength and agility.

South Africa's reigning Pole Fitness Champion and Miss Pole Dance Queen will be performing a daring double pole act, showing off their athleticism and skill. And for the cherries on top, Sexpo will be hosting Riley Steele and Jessie Jane. These two gorgeous, all-American blonde bombshells are both award-winning adult film stars, and will be around to answer questions, take photographs and sign autographs.

Get hands-on

The line-up includes many interactive events, allowing you to get really hands-on. The ever-popular Australian artist Pricasso will be creating amazing artworks with his penis. Watch him at work or sit for your own, unique portrait. Body artists will be transforming SEXPO visitors into walking masterpieces, using their skin as a canvas. At the Playboy stand, meet Playmates, get photos taken with them, or even shoot your own Playboy cover - clothing optional.

Hilarious hypnotist Mark Anthony will be getting giggles and gasps as he hypnotises audience members in his not-to-be-missed HypNaughty show. If you think you have all the right moves, don’t let the professionals steal all the glory, but get up on stage and strut your stuff in the Strictly Amateur strip show. Or, why not tie the knot, Vegas-style? Sexpo even boasts a resident Reverend to officiate, for those who want their wedding day to be super spicy.

Get educated

When it comes to health and lifestyle, the Durex workshops have things covered. Hosted by the world-renowned Sexologist Elna McIntosh, these workshops will be a frank and informative look at sexuality and sexual well-being. These sessions promise to be fascinating and thought-provoking, whilst answering any questions you might have about any sex-related issues.

Sexpo will be hosted by the lovely Suzie Q, a former Penthouse Pet, and her partner, the dashing Toby J. These two will perform sizzling double trapeze and aerial acts, and keep you entertained and informed throughout the event.

So, whether you are simply a little curious, or are searching for that certain shade of grey, Sexpo is the only place to be between the 27th and 30th of September 2012 at the Expo Centre Nasrec. Tickets are available at Computicket.
