James Deen Named ‘Cocksman of the Year’ at FANNY Awards

Popular Star Earns EXXXOTICA’s Inaugural Fan-Vote Honor for Male Performer of the Year!

Adult Entertainment superstar James Deen received the inaugural “Cocksman of the Year” award at the EXXOTICA Fan Choice Awards on Saturday, April 20. Known colloquially as “The FANNYS,” the fan-chosen awards were a highlight of the weekend-long love and sex expo in Atlantic City.

“This is an honor, to be the first to win this award,” Deen says. “I want to thank the fans – not just for voting, but for supporting me in what I do. It means a lot.”

Dubbed the “permanent crush of all straight ladydom” by popular female-oriented site Jezebel.com, Deen was an especially huge draw on the adult expo’s Ladies Free Friday. Deen met fans, signing autographs and posing for pictures all three days of the show at the HotMovies.com booth.

The adult industry’s premier fan event, EXXXOTICA made its debut in Atlantic City a decade after the iconic East Coast Video Show had its last meeting in 2003. The three-day show hosted thousands of fans for a weekend of personal appearances, live shows and seminars.

“We were happy to host James’ first ever EXXXOTICA appearance and present him with the first ever Cocksman of the Year award at The Fannys,” states EXXXOTICA Director J. Handy. “He certainly helped make for an unforgettable night.”

James Deen has been an active adult performer since 2004 and has appeared in more than 3000 adult productions. He recently earned several awards at the 2013 AVN Awards and XBIZ Awards, including Male Performer of the Year at both shows.

Deen is featured in the upcoming mainstream film from Paul Schrader and Bret Easton Ellis, “The Canyons,” with Lindsay Lohan. He is also producing a new mainstream steampunk production, “Cowboys and Engines,” which is being funded through Kickstarter, and continues to work as an adult performer and director.

About James Deen: As soon as James Deen turned 18, he knew he was destined to have sex with girls on camera. In his early years in the porn industry, peers warned him his skinny body type and boyish looks were not fit for porn, but within a few years Deen excelled to become the top performer in the industry. He is the youngest male to ever earn Male Performer of the Year honors at the AVN, XBIZ, and XRCO awards shows. Deen’s honest passion for all kinds of sex, both on and off camera, is displayed in the array of movies to his credit (over 3000). Whether filming hardcore BDSM or straight gonzo and feature adult films, James is always the most captivating male on screen. In addition to his XXX achievements, he was noted as one of the top 100 Jews in Heeb magazine in 2009, and has been featured on CNBC’s special “Porn: Business of Pleasure,” ABC’s “Nightline,” Good Magazine, The Goodmen Project, GQ Magazine, Rolling Stone, E! Entertainment, TMZ, and many other mainstream media outlets. Though his career has only begun, James Deen appreciates every ounce of the successes he has, exclaiming, “Seriously — I am the luckiest boy alive.” For more information, visit www.JamesDeenBlog.com or www.Twitter.com/JamesDeen.
