I've seen ads on the internet and in magazines for various cushions, chairs, recliners, etc., supposedly designed so that one of the partners sits, lies, reclines, or otherwise positions his or her body to enhance the pleasure of one or both partners.
It seems like porn would be an obvious place to use such items, but I can't recall ever seeing one in a porn flick, either as a product-placement ad gambit or in incidental use. Seems like a natural fit to me; if I saw something being used and thought it might be fun to try, I'd at least check it out. Any ideas on why we don't see any such product placement in porn?
As an aside, I once read of a neat trick I always wanted to try: Get a chaise lounge, the kind with the plastic bands that form the surface; duct tape the bands together in the appropriate spot to create an opening in the chaise; have the guy lie face down on the chaise with his dick sticking through the hole; and have the woman administer a blowjob from underneath. Never seen anything like it in porn, so I thought I'd put it out there.

Seriously- it kind of amazes me that sex toy and sex furniture companies haven't paired up with pornographers. There have been many times when I've watched something and been interested in purchasing what I've seen therein (often rather frustrating when you can't figure out the name of the toy, too!).
I could only think this would be a great thing for both parties involved.

The monster dildos used in the DenniO/AmazingTy/NaughtyAlysha/etc DVDs are available from DenniO.com. I've seen a couple of the DVD's where this fact is pointed out, especially when newly-available products are featured in the DVD.

Be thankful for now.
Do you seriously need or desire advertising in every part of what you see or hear? For me, the less the better. It would effect camera angles, and have a generally invasive presence in movies (can't cover up or obscure products/logos etc).
In truth though there is some of this that thankfully plays at lower levels, I've seen many end credits where the lingerie/dildos etc. are credited to a particular company or supplier.
Unfortunately, it'll no doubt permeate into every aspect - It kinda does make sense from the viewpoint of advertisers. This thread may give people ideas on how to further ruin things with advertising.

I think you'll find that as far as high end sex furniture goes it's the wish to make sound financial decisions that may be stopping "product placement" - said furniture is expensive, I don't imagine that the furniture company could expect to see much, if any return from such a placement.

Lots of Elegant Angel releases have a "Thanks to Doc Johnson" in the credits.

For some reason the scene from Wayne's World is coming into my head the one regarding advertising when the camera zooms to his Nike trainers(i think they were Nike)then he sips a can of coke..seems like ages since i seen that movie was it Wayne or Garth lol.Would it work in porn,i think the advertising would take over and spoil the movie why not just list the companys website at the end of the movie with all the sex toys used in this movie can be found here.

I could see how that would get annoying. I guess I was thinking on something more like a little short after or before the scene with the stars saying "We just used/are going to be using the Orgasmatron 6.0 in our scene! I love it because it's blah blah blah/You could tell how much it made me squirt yada yada yada. Thank you to our sponsors for letting us use these great products, and if you want your own, go to www.genericwebsite.com."
Very short, very quick, but still effective.
And does it have to be a traditional "We'll pay you to put our product in your porn" set-up, or could it be more like "Hey, we're going to use some products you guys make, would you like to get in on it?" Maybe something like porn companies getting a tiny cut for every sale made with, say, a code mentioned in the porn?

In mainstream movies, the characters use props or wardrobe or automobiles which are provided by big name companies.
But in porn, the viewers are fixated on fucking naked bodies.
No clothes, just fucking.
The only "props" used are dildos or beds or lingerie.
The videos can plug the websites during breaks, but that's probably it.

If you are looking to buy sex furniture you know where to look. Same with toys, I think that Doc Johnson provides free sex toys (Purely my opinion) just because they have so many of them and HBO does the whole Doc Johnson thing once in a while. Always entertaining to see a pussy get cast from your favorite porn star on HBO. I have heard that even Wal Mart is selling personal massagers now.

It's not exactly product placement since the companies (probably) aren't in on it, but I'd bet the Sybian and some other sex machines have received quite a boost in attention and sales because they're so prominent in internet solo porn, and they're usually mentioned by name.
