SugarInstant (formerly called SugarDVD) is an online adult movie streaming service. At one time, it was the largest renter of adult DVDs online.[1][2][3] Initially, SugarInstant's services were limited to flat-rate membership-based DVD-by-mail, but since its creation in 2002, the company has developed websites in several different areas of the adult industry.[4][5] The company is based in Santa Ana, CA with multiple shipping centers across the United States.[6]
Services
SugarInstant offers a subscription-based streaming service, pay-per-view porn videos, and adult DVDs.[7] Its video on demand options are available on Roku OS, PlayStation, Google TV, iPad/iPhone, Android, Xbox, PC and Mac OS.[8] In 2017, Sugar launched a new redesigned website powered by Adult Empire.[9] Now watch on the SugarInstant Roku channel which includes a free 5/day trial.[10]
Celebrity endorsements
In 2006, Tori Spelling said that she was a fan of SugarDVD, saying, "My husband Dean McDermott and I also belong to this service that's like a porn Netflix called SugarDVD.com. The Netflix DVDs come in a red package and the SugarDVDs come in a blue one, so we're like, "Oooh! A Netflix arrived!" or "Oooh! A porn arrived!".[11][12]
Verne Troyer sex tape
In July 2008 a clip featuring Verne Troyer and his former girlfriend Ranae Shrider in various sex acts, was leaked to the press without Troyer's consent.[13][14] SugarDVD's alleged involvement with the Verne Troyer sex tape scandal resulted in a $20-million lawsuit, in which SugarDVD and TMZ are named defendants.[15]
Awards
SugarDVD is the winner of the 2008 AVN award for Best Retail Site.[16] SugarDVD is the winner of the 2009 Best Adult DVD Rental award for best online porn DVD movie rental service.
