SAN FRANCISCO, CA (October 23, 2007) – The 28th annual Exotic Erotic Ball and Expo, the internationally acclaimed Celebration of Flesh, Fetish, and Fantasy, and – according to E! Entertainment TV – “The World’s #1 Wildest and Sexiest Party,” has announced that Social Kink will sponsor the Ball’s legendary Fetish Stage. The festivities occur at the Cow Palace in San Francisco on Halloween Weekend, commencing Friday afternoon, October 26, with the Exotic Erotic Expo, and concluding Saturday night, October 27, with the Exotic Erotic Ball. “The Ball”, which is being produced in association with XFANZ, has been titillating San Francisco audiences with arousing adult amusement for over a quarter-century, and is widely considered the #1 adult-themed party event in the world. The “Expo” is a two-day event which begins Friday at Noon, features its own entertainment lineup, in addition to over 100 exhibits showcasing the latest in exotic fashion, erotic art, adult products, games, websites, and novelties, and is being sponsored by XBiz.com.
Social Kink is a new social networking site especially made for and by the fetish community.

The best of fetish entertainment and education is now comes together in one central location, www.socialkink.com, featuring uncensored profiles, networking opportunities, relevant news, industry blogs, featured interviews, site exclusives, music, matchmaking, local events calendar, profile verification, and their “kinktionary,” a collaborative encyclopedia of all things kink-related built on wiki technology. Social Kink brings together everyone from the curious to the well-established lifestyle player for networking, entertainment, exposure, and education while promoting Safe, Sane and Consensual exploration. Pro-Dommes, Stars, Models, Photographers, Performers, Bands, Directors, and Groups can meet and mingle with other like-minded people all over the world as Social Kink unites the fetish community on a global scale.
Over it’s 28-year history, the Exotic Erotic Ball presented the wildest and most outrageous talent on it’s Main, Burlesque, Expo and Bling stages, while the Fetish stage has always been a fun, interactive space where attendees, of all experience levels, could adlib ‘play’ with their partners and other more experienced BDSM performers, Pro Dommes, Slaves and Masters.
According to The Ball’s founder, Perry Mann, “This year the Fetish Stage takes on an entirely new dimension as experienced ‘players’ from Social Kink will ‘whip’ into shape this stage area with high-quality productions, featuring the latest in fetish performances, demonstrations and activities. We couldn’t be happier with this, most appropriate, alliance.”
Other Presenting Sponsors of the Exotic Erotic Ball are CLIPS4SALE.COM, EROS.COM, and SEXSEARCH.COM.
“We have ideal sponsors,” says Ball Producer Howard Mauskopf. “Part of that is because we are a purely independent event. We don’t publish anything, and to the extent we’re part of any industry, it is really the entertainment industry. As such, we are able to go into the marketplace, select companies for whom we believe we can offer real opportunities, and then propose ways to exploit their brands in a manner they’re not likely to find elsewhere. This also enhances our event. We feel we share a kinship with Social Kink, Eros and SexSearch in that like us, they deliver real-life adult experiences to a wide range of consumers. Attendees at our event will actually be able to meet available Sexsearch.com ladies in the flesh, and become temporary Sexsearch.com members for free. Eros.com will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary at our event, and they will be inviting fetish celebs, Pro Dommes, and other adult entertainers to the show to mingle with guests – we’re pretty excited about that. Clips4Sale.com is different – they deliver an experience that is a virtual one, but they sure bring an incredible reality to the process – those are clips of real people doing real things, and in some cases, doing real nasty things. We just find their stuff incredibly hot, so we’re building a free theatre at the Expo and showing their hottest clips all weekend long.”
Through its unique combination of mixing live mainstream musical, burlesque, and circus performances with political irreverence, humorous hijinks, and the outright bizarre – the Exotic Erotic Ball has delighted and regaled over half a million attendees and participants over its highly acclaimed history. The entertainment is of a seemingly limitless variety – headline concerts, top DJs, erotic performers, exotic dancers, and wild sideshows fill a large arena, an even larger exposition hall and several smaller themed rooms, covering six acres in all.
