Looks like it went well then

I think more people would travel to London for the day or weekend than would to Manchester... That includes foreign visitors to the UK...

the theme of the report i think is unfair but on the whole i have to agree. IT WAS RUBBISH!!

I'm Glad i saved me bucks then!


Ive heard good and bad about the London event..ill try and get to that one this year to cast my own opinion...but is it really worth it for Studs to go to? Most of the Visitors willl be looking for the Girls anyway...not the guys !

Do guys have fan clubs??? Probably not

The problem is that outside cosmopolitan London there is no real culture of going to events, galleries and shows - apart from football and the odd naff pop concert. I regret to say that northerners are very provincial, comparatively unsophisticated, and hugely apathetic - mind you, that goes for southerners too, if my business associate reported the turnout at last year?s Brighton event correctly. In short, they?re not fuckin' interested. I've been to a few of these shows in the past and for the ones outside London the turnout has been dire. The best attended by a mile is the London Erotica event - I note that the crowd seemed to be youngish (20-35) and looked like they might go to a play on any other evening, or a gallery, or maybe a live music event. They looked, if not cultured, then open to culture.

I think the organisers are deluding themselves and reading into it whatever gets them through the night (a trait shared by many). All this ball-bag about the Mancunian's misuses, or visa-versa, not letting them go! Cobblers. There was simply no interest - and why should they're be? What attractions would there be that might rouse the northern constituency from it?s apathy - a few new production companies breathlessly showing screeners of their latest chav blockbusters - 'Mancunian Mingers 2' and 'Bolton Boilers Get Fired Up'? - Give me a break. No, it would need the presence of Jenna Jameson and Sylvia Saint themselves, and even then it would not be enough (though it would be a move in the right direction).

I'm afraid sex is old hat now, everybody?s done it, seen it and bought the t-shirt, and the more the new production companies ram their unrefined product down the public's throats, via their websites and ubiquitous DVD's, the more unpalatable it becomes. They've been they're own worst enemies - they thought they were being clever, dragging porn downmarket, making it banal, ordinary, and, er, 'real'. But if it is now banal and ordinary, then there?s little surprise that folks would not want to put themselves out to go to a show with this theme and then pay to get in. If you put yourself out to go to any kind of event you want to be uplifted, transported to fantasy land for an hour or so - be that by way of sitting in the driver's seat of a Ferrari at the motor show, feeling the tingle down your spine as Keith Richards opens Honky Tonk Women at a Rolling Stones gig, or seeing the divine Sylvia Saint restored to her old Europe glory at a proper sex show.

More preposterous than usual.

"More preposterous than usual."

Thanks mart.

I hope that doesn't mean yet another forum here.
