As if D&D with pornstars wasn’t nerdy enough, check out Tron-a-Sutra. Made with a RED camera, After Effects, a Mac, and a “couple crappy bicycle helmets,” this futuristic spin on the Kama Sutra is all kinds of awesome. Via Violet Blue.

Monday, August 30th, 2010Bill O’ Reilly is into Doin’ “it” Live!
Thursday, August 26th, 2010
Pugnacious pundit and noted loofah enthusiast Bill O’ Reilly fancies himself an anti-porn crusader and defender of traditional values. This morning, however, the Boston Phoenix published a column revealing that while a grad student at Boston University in 1974, O’ Reilly penned a lengthy, and very sympathetic interview with Gerard Damiano. The legendary director of Deep Throat was in Boston to promote the release of his second feature Devil in Miss Jones and O’ Reilly took Damiano out to lunch, to talk about the porn business, Linda Lovelace and Hollywood.
This is not the first time that O’ Reilly’s fixation on porn has gotten attention. His 1998 novel Those Who Trespass contains some steamy dialogue, including this line: “Say baby, put down that pipe and get my pipe up.” You can even hear the author read his steamy prose in these audiobook clips generously hosted by the Village Voice. We look forward to the Fox News host excoriating his youthful self for being a smut peddler on the next episode of The Factor. (Well, actually we don’t.) Instead we imagine things look a little more like this around O’ Reilly’s studio today.
Porn stars play D&D!
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Get ready for a total nerdgasm. Online gaming magazine The Escapist has launched a new webseries called I Hit it With My Axe. The show documents an ongoing game of Dungeons & Dragons between a group of porn stars, strippers and their punk rock dungeon master. That’s a lot of charisma points. The players include Kimberly Kane, Mandy Morbid and Satine Phoenix. If you’ve ever wanted to see Sasha Grey roll a 20 sided die, this is the show for you. Via Videogum.
Pornography Fridays
Friday, June 11th, 2010I chose to title this new feature, “Pornography Fridays,” because it has such a nice ring to it. Don’t you think?
Anyway, one Friday a month I’m going to write about an adult movie, either in-stock at The Pleasure Chest, upcoming, or newsworthy.
Last week we were all hit hard by the death of Rue McClanahan, an icon for so many reasons, but her later work in The Golden Girls was inspiring to women, older women, and sex positive people of all walks of life. Today the terms MILF, GILF, and cougar are pretty much household words, for better or worse, but Rue’s Golden Girls character Blanche Devereaux was a woman who loved sex unapologetically, and hearing an older woman talk about her sex life that way on tv was certainly ahead of its time.
Golden Girls: An All MILF XXX Parody was actually released in May, not timely with Rue McClanahans death (thankfully – that would have been somewhat awkward), and we’ll be getting it in our stores soon. I’m not super excited about the “turn a lesbian to cock” angle, but the trailer actually looks like the film could be quite humorous and entertaining.
Lastly, let’s look at a great moment from the actual show, where the Girls watch porn.
This show was just so, so special! RIP Rue, Bea, and Estelle.
This is how one customer in LA likes to start their weekend…
Friday, April 16th, 2010How about you? 
Come to The Pleasure Chest this weekend!
WTF Nonsexual Product of the Day
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010A new pearly-white nail polish by a brand called BLEACHBLACK is cleverly named “Jizz.” Personally, I appreciate the explicitness level, as well as the room for jizz-on-your-hands comedy.
Speaking of which, if you’re in LA, join us tonight for our Suck it, Lick it, Love it workshop from 8-10 pm. It’s totally free of cost, and our Sex Specialists will be serving up some sweet sex tips for better blow-jobs, hand-jobs, and cunnilingus.

Pubes are back!
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010I’ve been saying this for months, and these Finnish fashionista-made underpants prove it. Now if only the art duo Tärähtäneet Ämmät could find a way to mass-produce these so we could carry them. Oh well, until then ladies, we’ll just have to relax, kick up our feet, and grow our own.

Peeka-Bu!
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010I was extremely amused dismayed yesterday upon reading this story about a woman in Florida who caused a two-vehicle accident last week while attempting to drive while shaving her bikini line! Sometimes multi-tasking goes terribly terribly wrong, and while I’m all for grooming on the go, I draw the line at applying mascara on a city bus in stop-n-go traffic.
If only our friend the mobile muff-scaper had a Peeka-bu Intimate Grooming Mirror (in our stores now and coming soon online). Had that been the case, she could have taken care of business in any gas station or rest stop bathroom. Peeka-bu is ergonomically designed and made of eco-friendly plastic. Its powerful suction cup grips securely to any smooth, non-porous surface, like shower doors, mirrors, and even the inside of the toilet lid. It has a 1x magnifying mirror and flexible neck, perfect for hard -t0-see places like your bikini or mankini area, and is also great for shaving in the shower.
The Pleasure Chest will donate 15% of sales this Saturday to Haiti relief
Friday, January 15th, 2010In response to the devastation in Haiti, 15% of sales nationwide in our Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York stores on Saturday, January 16th, 2010 will be donated to the organization Partners in Health.
We chose Partners in Health because they provide community-based health programs, including AIDS treatment and prevention, in Haiti and throughout the world. Haiti was the location of their pilot program, and they have been doing work there since 1998, so Partners in Health workers are rooted in the communities and their work there is incredibly crucial at this time.
Since 1971 Pleasure Chest has been dedicated to serving our communities, and at this time we wish to join the global community in giving what we can to aid the people of Haiti.

The Sexual Resolutions
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009According to the US Government website, these are some of the most common New Year’s Resolutions:
- Lose Weight/Get Fit
- Save Money
- Get a Better Education
- Reduce Stress Overall/at Work
- Take a Trip
I’m sure this list sounds familiar and somewhat tiresome, whether you’ve made them yourself or have a lot of resolution-inclined friends and family. Well, this year you can join me in your own version of my sexual resolutions, and feel free to declare them. At the dinner table. When company is over.
- Get Fit Losing weight is fine and all, but studies show that if you just say “I will lose weight” without any fitness goals, you’re less likely to succeed. Instead of imposing size ideals on yourself, why not say “I will do 30 squats a night… on a penis or dildo”? Personally, I’m going to start each day at the office with 3 reps of 25 PC muscle exercises, which are beneficial for all genders and fitness levels.
- Save Money This is definitely one of my personal goals for the year, but one of my favorite parts about sex is that it’s free (usually) and enhancing one’s sex life doesn’t have to be expensive. One of my favorite toys I purchased this year is Pandora by Vibratex. It has vibration speeds and patterns to suit almost anyone and can be used as a g-spot toy, p-spot toy, an anal toy great for beginners, and worn anally during sex. Even better, since it’s silicone, it can be safely used vaginally, anally, and shared when properly cleaned.
- Get a Better Education This one’s easy-peasy. Well, if “peasy” were a word, which it isn’t (see, learning already). At The Pleasure Chest, we have tons of how-to books and DVDs, and a ridiculously knowledgeable staff. We’re also having workshops all winter long, and most of them are free. I’ll be challenging myself to think outside, well, my own box by attending the Blow-job Mini Workshop with Midori here in Los Angeles on January 11th from 7-8 pm.
- Reduce Stress Overall/at Work Stress sucks. It’s sneaky and quiet, then suddenly unbearable. I find that deep breathing, regular exercise, light massage, and hardcore fucking do the trick. What? It’s true. But seriously, it’s important to mind your stress level, because it’s pretty much impossible to have good sex when you’re all wound up about bills or how the hell the kids on “The Hills” have their own show and you don’t. Breathing seems oh-so-basic, but it’s surprising how calming and refreshing true deep breaths can be. For me, regular exercise means a brisk walk, but you can go to your fancy gym if you must, and nothing beats a sensual massage to relax and get in the mood. As for reducing stress at work, I have 4 words for you: extended wear butt plug.
- Take a Trip Yes! Let’s all go have sex in exotic locales! Okay, so I really want to do it in St. Barts, but what we can afford is Las Vegas. It’s cool though, because I love Vegas, and en route car sex is way hotter and slightly less uncomfortable than airplane bathroom sex. So I hear. The point is, whether it’s Cancun or your coffee table, sexual adventure is totally attainable in 2010.
Well, that’s all from me this year. Everyone here at the Chest is looking forward to next year and all the excitement, sexual and otherwise, it will surely bring. Happy New Year to you and yours!
