Mommy Is Coming
Friday At LA Transgender Film Festival

Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

The Pleasure Chest is proud to co-sponsor the Los Angeles Trangender Film Festival’s opening night screening of Cheryl Dunye’s Mommy is Coming at the Echo Park Film Center this Friday night.

Set in Berlin’s lesbian porn world, Mommy is Coming is a sexy screwball comedy starring Lil Harlow, Jiz Lee and the Pleasure Chest’s own Papi Coxx. The screening starts at 8pm and will be preceded by two shorts. Tickets are only $10, or free to anyone under 21. But, since this screening is for adults only, you gotta be 18.

Friday night’s screening is the official kickoff of the Los Angeles Transgender Film Festival. Now in its fourth year, the LATFF showcases work by trans and genderqueer filmmakers. The festival runs through the weekend with shorts and features screening at three locations. Check out their complete schedule here.

See you at the festival!

This Sunday is Fisting Day!

Friday, October 19th, 2012

Join us this Sunday, October 21st in solemn observance of Fisting Day!

What’s Fisting Day, you ask? It’s a global event created by queer porn icons Jiz Lee and Courtney Trouble to promote acceptance of vaginal and anal fisting. As they explain on the official Tumblr:

“Fisting Day began not only as a celebration, but a call for awareness – this sex act is banned and censored in most forms of adult entertainment, and that fear is reflected outside of the sex industry as well. We believe that sex-positive education, exposure, information, and discussion is an easy cure for this fist-phobia!”

We totally support this worthy goal, and want to lend a helping hand. To support Fisting Day, we’ll be offering 20% off your entire purchase on Sunday, October 21st.

If you’re coming into one our retail stores, simply mention “Fisting Day” to get 20% off your purchase. If ordering online, type fistingday into the coupon # box during checkout.

Need some pointers? Here’s our handy guide.

A Hand in the Bush is the ultimate, um, “handbook” on the fine art of vaginal fisting. It’s filled with practical information on how to get started. And it’s been approved by three fisting-friendly physicians.

The Oxballs Fist Plug is super realistic and made of soft, body-safe silicone. It’s got a nice wide base that’ll keep it snug in your butt.

When only a famous fist will do, try Belladonna’s Bitch Fist. This unique dildo is made from an exact replica of porn star Belladonna’s forearm and fist.

Whether you’re a first timer or an old hand, it’s a good rule of the thumb to use plenty of lube. And J-Lube is hands down the best lube for anal fisting. Simply mix a little bit of water with the J-Lube powder for a slippery good time. One bottle lasts a long, long, time.

If you plan on playing safe, we strongly recommend a pair of gloves. Unless you’re into medical play (and there’s nothing wrong with that), we recommend these fashionable black latex gloves.

If you want to watch vaginal fisting, we highly recommend the Crash Pad series, especially the kinky installment called “Rope Burn.”

Speaking of Crash Pad, they’ve got a great tutorial on their blog. Check out “Vaginal Fisting Basics”.
