I wasn’t expecting to return to Venus Berlin after a one-year absence, but I decided to take advantage of its warmer placement this year in September and the cheap plane tickets that I found. Several of my pornorazzi colleagues based in the United States felt the same like ComeShootMe, 718Burke, and Javy Mac.
The show was smaller than the post-pandemic 2023 show, but there was a strong American/Canadian presence with companies such as Chaturbate Adult Time, and Sex Like Real joining Brazzers and its sister company Pornhub.
I was really pleased to find out that Demi Hawks had made the trip across the pond and ended up unofficially roadieing for her since the German crowd could be quite overwhelming. Gawkers would just camp out and block the booth when there was an expectation of nudity. I didn’t venture too far from the booth unless it was to rejoin friends that I made over the years at the show.
Because of that, I didn’t photograph many German performers unless I already knew them.
