London will be getting a bit sexier from October 1 to 3. That's when the Everything To Do With Sex Show hits the Progress Building at the Western Fair.

The show began 11 years ago in Toronto, and had its first show in London in 2008. "We try to make it bigger every year," said Mikey Singer, show manager. The exhibition now travels across Canada, and will make stops in Hamilton, Halifax, Quebec City and Montreal.

Singer stresses the show is not sleazy; it's about sex education that goes deeper than what you learned in school. "It's a fun show, it's not a porno show . . . Our show provides an open forum to ask questions and get knowledgeable answers."

Among the speakers at the show is London's own Kelly Garland, former owner of the Libido sex shop on Talbot Street. She has been a sex educator for over 10 years, and will be giving talks about anal sex and the GSpot. Other speakers will talk about oral sex, lap dancing for beginners, arousal and orgasm. The forums are meant to cover questions "you just can't ask anyone else," said Singer.

For the more adventurous, the show includes a Dungeon stage with its own series of talks, including discussions about bondage, sensory deprivation and the unique subculture of the BDSM community.

The show also features plenty of entertainment, including burlesque performer Roxi Dlite, "The Drinkin', Smokin', Strippin' Machine," according to her Twitter bio (@Roxi_Dlite).

"We provide education and entertainment, as well as a forum for people to shop for everything that their heart desires," Singer said. "Everything that makes you look and feel better, you'll find at our event."

Over 30 exhibitors were featured in the 2009 show, and this year is looking promising as well. One of this year's exhibitors is Love Shop, which Singer described as being very female-oriented.

The event also features a fashion show with three Canadian designers: Coquette International lingerie and costumes, Betty Beben clubwear and Sinate Creations will show "wraps that can change into a million different dresses," said Singer. "It's worth it to come to the show just for that!"

There's no nudity, but the show is 19+. Tickets are $15 at the door. Advance tickets are available online for $13.75, and a weekend pass sells for $21.25. For more information, visit london.everythingtodowithsex.com
