(HOLLYWOOD, CA) The 2025 X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO – xrco.com/) Awards lit up Hollywood on Sunday, May 25th, with a spectacular celebration of excellence in adult entertainment.

“The XRCO Awards continue to be a true celebration of our industry,” said XRCO’s Alexander “Monstar” Raymond. “We were thrilled to see so many familiar faces, rising stars, and an electric atmosphere that proves the adult industry’s passion and creativity are stronger than ever.”
“It was a fantastic night,” noted XRCO Chairman Dirty Bob. “We had classic legends like Christy Canyon, Domonique Simone, Lexington Steele, Misty Rain, and Tiffany Million as well as up-and-comers. Our hosts and trophy presenters did an amazing job; they kept the crowd energized and engaged. It was an unforgettable event. And now we start counting down to XRCO 2026!”
