Let's recap: In contrast to the AVN Awards, which are sponsored by a prominent adult industry publication, are held in a fancy ballroom in Las Vegas every January, and stick to a relatively straight Oscars-like category structure, the XRCO Awards are decided on by "writers from a wide range of adult publications and Internet sites", are held in a club in LA anytime between late spring and midsummer, and include such categories as "Teen Cream Dream", "Orgasmic Analist", and "Superslut"—as well as one in which Seymore Butts, Jenna Jameson, Paris Hilton, Ron Jeremy, and Howard Stern will vie for the title of 2004's "Mainstream's Adult Media Favorite". Just in case you were having problems keeping all those initials straight or something.
