The 2012 AVN Awards, presented on Saturday at the conclusion of the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, are best known as the "Oscars of porn," honoring the best in adult films and adult entertainment. But they also coincide with the annual Adult Novelty Expo, and a number of awards categories recognize the best in sex toys, lingerie, pleasure products, and adult retail.
