The 2018 XBIZ Awards were held last night, January 18th, in Los Angeles, and – despite the tumultuous past few months in the industry – the adult entertainment community came together to honor each other’s hard work from the past year. The nights big winners, like newly crowned Male & Female Performers of the Year Romi Rain and Small Hands, kept gratitude and celebration on the forefronts of everyone’s minds.
