Ecchi Expo was truly special. I was not sure what to expect and went in with measured expectations. When I left, I made new friends and could not wait to return. We are often tricked into feeling ashamed of our sexual desires. This leads us to have very unhealthy views on sex. This is why I went to Ecchi Expo. It was a place where we could be both safe and free.
You might be wondering why I wanted to go to an adult-only anime convention. Over the years I have met plenty of sex-positive people in the cosplay community. They are perfectly normal people who happen to be comfortable with their desires and fetishes. I wanted to learn how to be more comfortable with myself and thought this would be a good opportunity to do so. I did some research, watched some videos, and made some plans. Ecchi Expo just happened to be the easiest one for me to check out that year.
You might expect an adult-only anime con to be wild and out of control. At Ecchi Expo, the truth is there is a huge focus on safety. You cannot enter the event for the first time without sitting through a brief presentation on the rules. Most are common sense like asking for permission before taking photos or touching anyone. They also offer armbands for people who do not want to be photographed.
While there I met some amazing people. I was able to meet failninjaninja who was one of my inspirations for coming. It was so surreal when I got to take photos for him. I also got the honor of working with both Moon Bunny and Luna Falls. The latter of which you will not see here. You will need to check her Only Fans for that!
It is amazing how friendly and safe Ecchi Expo is. It was a wonderful place to meet like-minded people and enjoy a more adult-oriented event. Both I and my friend were amazed by the number of people we met and got to work with. Even if it means hopping on a plane and flying across the country I cannot wait to return!
