We all love to feel good about ourselves. When feeling down, some people find a pick-me-up in playing sports, taking a bubble bath or indulging in a little cookie dough action. Whatever your poison, there is one activity that never fails to make anyone feel super sexy, blissful and beyond happy: sex.
Well, good sex anyway.

But what is “good sex”?
At some point we’ve all wondered whether we’re good in bed. No, nix that 8212; whether we’re awesome in bed.
Well, fear not. Help is nearby, at the 16th annual Salon de L’Amour et de la Seduction.
The sex exposition will be held in downtown Montreal at Place Bonaventure Jan. 22 to 24.
Don’t think the expo won’t have anything for you because you’re single/married/in a relationship 8212; Salon de L’Amour et de la Seduction doesn’t discriminate.

If you’re shy and thinking this isn’t for you, you’re wrong. “It’s not just about kinky sex,” said the show’s manager, Mikey Singer. “75 per cent is about regular, sexual information. It’s about making you feel confident and to have you be a better lover.”
The event includes seminars, fashion shows, burlesque dancers, and vendors offering everything from dildos and sexy candy, to body casting, henna, hair extensions and teeth whitening solutions.
“It’s very informative and fun,” said Montreal’s very own Sex Educatrix, Lady Viktoria, who will be hosting a series of presentations on of the event’s stages. “I am available to answer any questions. The community dungeon [stage] was created to appeal to an audience that is looking for some beginner, intermediate and some advanced forms of play. Interactive play is encouraged from an educational context.”

Lady Viktoria recommended reading about kinky play or attending seminars like hers before engaging in the lifestyle. It’s better to do it right and safely, she said, than to get hurt and not enjoy yourself.
Singer said he wants Concordia University students to know the expo is “about finding out how to help your significant other. It makes you look like an all-star. You won’t be uncomfortable because there’s going to be over 500 people there with you. No one’s judging and everyone’s doing and listening to the same things you are.”
Le Salon de L’Amour et de la Seduction attracts an audience like no other. So grab a group of friends and head to Place Bonaventure. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn and you’ll have sex like a god.

The Main Stage

This area will feature three shows: Guilty Pleasures Fashion Show, Monde Ose Cabaret and Mr. Erotika Male Revue.
The Guilty Pleasures Fashion Show: will present “the best of Coquette lingerie. It will have a fetish portion which will be the Polymorphe line and Priape,” said Singer. “Priape is the premier gay men latex and leather line.”
The Mr. Erotika Male Revue: “It’s less act, more strip.” explained Singer. “You get more meat for your dollar.” According to their website, “Mr. Exotika Male Review is a group of dancers and entertainers with perfectly chiseled bodies.” Only one word could describe that: delicious.

The Monde Ose Cabaret: will include acts from Canada’s number one international burlesque and aerial performer, Roxi Dlite. She will be joined by fetish pinup model and new-age burlesque performer, MiMi Cherry, as well as Jessy Entertainment and Maiko Starr. They will be performing a show called Runaway Bride. “It’s about a bride who questions if she’s really excited about her wedding. She’s surrounded by temptation and jealousy,” said Frank Mondeose, manager of the main stage and founder of Monde Ose.
