Is the AVN just an awards ceremony now?

Dugmor was showing at Internext some robots there that seemed 70% lifelike so there is improvement made and much much more to be made in the future. Compared to other modes that foreigners create - America seems to be way behind in realism.

As far as the awards go - over the years people are always happy to get one - brag about it - show it off on their website - but in the end and behind closed doors - it really didn't help greatly in increasing sales. Which is what it's all about and as soon as the year is out your award becomes obsolete as the next companies moves in.

Kindly of like Oscars - many awards are giving - some we don't know who the hell they are and why they are on the stage but there they are - and other awards rarely want us to pick them to work with - it truly comes down to the people you work with and cost.

So - ya - networking - bragging etc. but not much in substance because at the end of the day deals are made based on referrals and who you know and trust not awards. Not to mention the past few years we've seen awards given that are paid for in one way or another (which we all knew)

From what I’ve seen, AVN has definitely shifted more toward being an awards and networking event, rather than the cutting-edge tech showcase it used to be. While in the past there were real breakthroughs revealed there—like early sex robots or innovative interactive toys—most of the recent focus seems to be on celebrity performers, content awards, and business networking.

For those interested in exploring adult experiences in a more personal or interactive way, local options can provide a very different kind of hands-on insight into the adult industry. Here you can actually meet providers and explore services that combine companionship, play, and more intimate experiences, rather than just reading about products or tech demos.

If you’re curious about the practical side of adult entertainment and sex work, it can be eye-opening to see how services evolve in real life, beyond the tech hype.

The award shows probably used to be solid when things like a double blowjob or shaved pussy was a big deal in society, now everyone has seen it all so the awards are going to be niche or fickle.

"Best cumshot in a scene where the actor is wearing denim jeans". cool stuff, where does one cash out that award?

First time I went to AVN it was in a room at the Sands during CES. Way more consumer foot traffic, but less the central thing.

Do you think the award show scene in Boogie Nights is fairly accurate for the time?

I met with a couple guys at the circle bar, and left

We've shot some cfnm shots with cumshots over my denim jeans

By the end of the 90s AVN had collapsed into being irrelevant when Fishbein owned it. But for some unknown reason the industry continued to lose its brains over the awards and probably what kept the magazine alive for so long. Today those awards are now equally irrelevant.

Anyone who believes an award will benefit them can just buy one from a trophy maker and it'll fool 99% of the people.

I used to pack those in boxes for years, dropped one by accident, the boss looked over it, and said it was fine.
