SugarInstant Celebrates 15 Years

LOS ANGELES — SugarInstant has announced its celebration of 15 years in business.

According to the company, the site started out in 2001 as SugarDVD.com, renting adult DVDs by mail.

As the company grew it added new DVD sales, pay-per-view, and unlimited streaming, which is now available on Roku, PS4, Xbox, Google TV, mobile and more. This year it launched live shows, added exclusive VR content,and made its site completely responsive across all devices.

“We have always looked ahead and asked ourselves, ‘what will our customers want in the future?” explains SugarInstant CEO Jax Smith. “[We are] now focused on bringing content to life.”

SugarInstant began exploring opportunities in virtual reality in 2014, and after much experimentation, posted its first VR movie this year.

“It’s exciting to think about the possibilities VR could bring to adult,” says SugarInstant Business Development Manager Natasha.
