ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—James Deen received the inaugural Cocksman of the Year award at the Exxxotica Fan Choice Awards on Saturday, April 20.

"I want to thank the fans – not just for voting, but for supporting me in what I do. It means a lot.” Deen was an especially huge draw on the adult expo’s Ladies Free Friday, where he met fans, signed autographs and posed for pictures at the HotMovies.com booth.  “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,” said show diirector 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.
