Tera Patrick, Nautica Thorn to Host Sexo Expo

Teravision owner Tera Patrick and starlet Nautica Thorn are heading to Puerto Rico, as celebrity hostesses for the U.S. Commonwealth's adult convention, Sexo Expo, Feb. 2 – 4. The two-day event, which started in 2006, broke many taboos in Puerto Rico by giving the public the opportunity to learn and consume products and services of a sexual nature in a safe and upscale environment.

Thorn, who has Puerto Rican roots, told AVN.com that she's extremely excited about the trip. "I've never been to Puerto Rico before, but I think I might still have some family there. My mom has been trying to plan a family trip out there, but [in terms of this trip] I'm going down there to party."

Thorn, who recently started Nautica Thorn Productions, went on to say that, aside from the expo, she's excited about trying some authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. "My parents make Puerto Rican food, and I'm curious to find out if it tastes the same [as the authentic stuff]."

Tamara Rivera, chairman of Sexo Expo, said, "We had an estimated attendance of 10,000 people last year. This year, with our aggressive advertising campaign and the appearance of the adult industry's top star, Tera Patrick, we expect to double last year's attendance. In addition, having the immensely popular, and half Puerto Rican princess of porn, Nautica Thorn, makes this year's show double trouble. Since we announced the two starlets would be appearing, our phones have not stopped ringing, and ticket sales are up over 200 percent."

"We want to show our attendees how fun and natural sex really is and how they can satisfy their partners or themselves in new and responsible ways," Rivera continued. "We felt that Tera and Nautica with their huge mainstream crossover appeal, were the perfect liaisons to bridge the gap between human sexuality and celebrity porn star mania."

"I just love breaking new ground and being looked at as an ambassador of sex," said Patrick. "Latin people are so passionate about sex, and ever since I did a girl/girl scene with the fiery Carmen Luvana in Genesis magazine, I have always been extremely curious about Puerto Rico.

"I am honored to be asked to host such an amazing and exciting event for people who are so hungry for our American XXX sex," Patrick added. "Nautica is one of my best friends and I am so glad we are going to be at this event together."

Fans of Patrick and Thorn will be able to purchase autographed DVD's, posters, calendars, photos, and take pictures with the starlets at the expo. The two starlets will also go on three radio stations during their visit, as well as the country's version of the "Tonight Show."

Attendees of Sexo Expo 2007 will find an exhibition area with companies offering their products and services. In addition, other events will be taking place such as seminars on sexuality and relationships with specialists, an aphrodisiac bar, a fashion show showing a variety of sexy outfits and body art, a Champagne Room hosted by Divas International Entertainers, a belly dancing show, strippers of both sexes for ladies and gentlemen, a "Girl's Night Out" sex toy show and orientation, and free HIV, Syphilis and Chlamydia tests. There will also be plenty of giveaways and contests.
