How I became a Deviant Diarist for  Magazine:
It was while I was walking the fine line between being irreverent and irrelevant for the I.T. based Indie Magazine as a freelance journalist
that I did my first feature about the world of Adult Entertainment. I'd visited the
Erotica show in London and having effectively left the PC industry a few
months before I was a bit short of material... Thus a column I entitled Minority Report,
featured in the January 2003 issue of Indie, was born.
Afterwards, my editor asked a few questions, which I happily answered. Little did I know then that the publisher was gearing up to release a trade publication
for the Adult industry. And it is an industry. There's a lot more to it than mucky videos and the dingy sex shops of yore.
It's a business worth literally billions of pounds a year.
Fast forward to October 2003 when my editor asked if I would be going to Erotica again. I hadn't planned to, but I was invited along and tempted to the dark
side with a free trade pass. The deal was they wanted me to do a regular piece for Erotic Trade Only Magazine, starting with issue 6 - December 2003.
For the rest of the story, read on... (And maybe take a peek here.)
The annual ETO Show has become an important fixture on the UK's Adult Industry calendar.
Launched in 2005, the show returns each year to the NEC outside Birmingham in the midlands and features the cream of the British and Irish trade.
Being a trade-only event, just because you can read about it here, don't assume you can come along. Sorry.
