WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU’RE FEELING THE LOVE DEEP<br />
IN YOUR HEART BUT NOT EXPRESSING IT IN BED?<br />
THE PLEASURE CHEST<br />

Larry Flynt’s Hustler Hollywood, still<br />
open on the corner of Sunset and Hilldale<br />
but moving at some point, is an<br />
open and airy emporium that includes<br />
a cafe when you’re ready to take a<br />
break from exploring the vibrators<br />
and lubricants and adult videos that<br />
might take your relationship into previously<br />
unexplored territory.<br />
The Pleasure Chest, on Santa Monica<br />
Boulevard near Genesee, is stocked<br />
with a similar array of products. Perhaps<br />
you and your partner spend some<br />
time in bed in your hotel reading aloud<br />
from “The Little Black Book of Kama<br />
Sutra,” which Pleasure Chest offers for<br />
$9.95. Hustler and Pleasure Chest both<br />
offer a variety of toys for adults to play<br />
with, some covered in glittering gold.<br />
If this staycation is to entertain a boyfriend<br />
or girlfriend visiting from far<br />
away, you might consider trying out<br />
Pleasure Chest’s “We Vibe Sync,” a<br />
couples vibrator that can be activated<br />
from anywhere in the world (with<br />
a Wi-Fi connection). As one user noted:<br />
“Great for long distance relationships I<br />
got this for my girlfriend. She lives in<br />
New York, I’m in Chicago. It took our<br />
Skype game to the next level ... I can<br />
control her orgasms from thousands of<br />
miles away. Pretty dope.”<br />
Just remember, hard as it is to do, turn<br />
that cell phone off for the duration of<br />
your stay. Why pursue virtual relationships,<br />
no matter how briefly stimulating,<br />
when the one you love is in<br />
bed beside you?
