Bethenny Frankel has a new talk show and she recently dropped by The Pleasure Chest. She brought along a couple whose sex life has been stoked by 50 Shades of Grey. Our very own Sarah showed Bethenny and her friends the ropes. Items featured in this clip include the heart crop, our entangle ties, pleasure feathers, the kitty hood, and the jackboot paddle. If you need help making your 50 Shades fantasies a reality, pay us a visit!
For some folks, an ordinary cockring just won’t do. Meet the Oxballs Link, a silicone cockring that looks just like a steel chain. We sent Sex Specialist Manny home with the Link to test its mettle. Here’s his report…
The Oxballs Link is made from platinum grade silicone and can be used with water, silicone and oil-based lubricant. It measures 1 3/8″ in diameter and can stretch to well over 3″. The 7/8″ width makes it a pretty thick cockring. There’s also a slight heftiness to it, providing added stimulation on the penis. This cockring is designed to look like a chain with links on it, including slight imperfections and faux welds to give it a more realistic look.
"The longer I wear it, the more pliable and softer it becomes as the silicone retains body heat."
The Link has a unique design and it looks hot. It’s super stretchy, so I have no trouble slipping it on. It doesn’t squeeze hard– just enough to give me that tight feeling I’m looking for. The longer I wear it, the more pliable and softer it becomes as the silicone retains body heat
I’ve also tried wearing the Link without lube and was surprised that I was not irritated by the silicone rubbing on my skin. It actually stayed in place and didn’t move or slide around, like some other cockrings. It also makes a fabulous ballstretcher– I like the fact that since it’s more stretchy it’s easier to wrap around my balls without too much trouble. Another advantage is that The Link can be stacked along with other rings to add weight and make ball stretching more intense. I love my Link!
As we go through life, it’s normal to experience changes within our bodies and our sexual functioning. Many of us get stuck longing for times past, when our bodies were more free and responsive.
This Sunday at 4pm at our West Hollywood store, we offer a unique opportunity for those living with disability or chronic illness to explore solutions for achieving and maintaining a happy sex life.
The Pleasure Chest is pleased to welcome sex educator Megan Andelloux for Sexy Times with (dis)Abilities & Chronic Illnesses, a free workshop open to individuals, partners and couples.
In this class, she’ll examine the sexual challenges often faced when dealing with disability or illness, while gaining tools to enhance the changes our bodies have made. Through discussion and demonstration, we’ll learn how to create exciting new sexual possibilities and explore ways of being sexual despite the difficulties that may confront us. This session will touch on many issues, but will focus specifically on cancer, diabetes, pelvic pain, and problems of limited mobility. The workshop is totally free of charge and open to all adults.
Megan Andelloux is the founder and director of The Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health. She is certified as a sexuality educator through The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists and works as a board-certified sexologist through The American College of Sexologists. She has worked full-time in the field of sexuality education for more than fourteen years.

Finding the perfect position can be a challenge. The Liberator Slingshot is an adjustable sling designed for optimal positioning during penetrative sex. We asked our Web Department Supervisor Lillian to take aim and report back to us. Bullseye!
My boyfriend and I are creepily compatible in almost every way. PIV sex, however, has always been a challenge. I’m short and fat; he’s tall and thin. Neither of us is at all flexible and we both suffer from chronic pain due to work-related injuries. The challenge of us attempting to try out new positions is analogous to the Tin Man taking a Bikram yoga class. “Cowgirl” can work, but I often get carried away and break furniture.
I’m not going to say that the Liberator Slingshot solved all of our problems, but our battle with PIV positioning is finally over. Liberator’s microfiber material is soft and pleasant, but more importantly, it didn’t chafe once I started to sweat. It’s pretty self-explanatory: strap the Velcro and microfiber cuffs to your ankles and place the main cushion behind your neck. Grab the nylon straps with your hands and pull to shorten the leg straps, and voila! Your legs are in the air! Your partner can also use the leg straps to spread your legs wider.
"Ask my next door neighbor—there’s no way he missed my screaming testimonial."
It was great. Ask my next door neighbor—there’s no way he missed my screaming testimonial. You could even ask his dog, because I’m pretty sure my voice went to octaves that humans can’t hear. The Slingshot allows me to have amazing G-spotty sex without trying to contort myself into uncomfortable positions or having to use large, expensive pieces of sex furniture.
The only improvement I would make on it would be to add microfiber handles to the ends of the nylon straps. Holding the straps became difficult and a little bit painful as my hands got sweatier and I had to grip them tighter to keep them from slipping out of my grasp. Still, I’m pretty excited that I can indeed have super hot pleasurable PIV sex without first having to do years of yoga and Pilates.

For years the existence of the G-spot has been rejected while some have hailed it as the ultimate pleasure center; come find out what the buzz is about!
