It's no coincidence that the worlds biggest consumer electronics show and the worlds biggest porn convention happen at exactly the same time this weekend in Sin City!In fact, the Adult Entertainment Expo was actually a part of the Consumer Electronics Show until 1999 when the tech guys got nervous about the Sony display being set up next to Ballgags-R-Us. Plus, the company that owns the AEE brand realized they could sell more tickets if they didn't have to tone it down to fit into the mainstream event...but kept the same dates to maintain positive synergy.
It is doubtful that many of the adult performers & producers make a visit over to the CES booths to see the latest tech. But you can bet the Geek Squad charters non-stop full size Grey Line buses over to the AEE in hopes of getting a smile, hug and autograph from Jesse Jane & her busty friends.
In reality, porn has always been a driving force in the adoption of emerging consumer technology. Think VHS, DVD, Blue Ray, streaming video, and yes...the whole damn Internet. Heck, to a nerd developer still living in Mom's basement...porn is as close to a date as they'll get! So they do all they can to enhance that relationship.
In the end, we all know high tech is sexy...and both are on full display on the Strip this weekend.
