Catch up with June 1993 Pet Sam Philips, whose sex tips prove this Pet is man’s best friend.

Pinning Down Sam Phillips

At 46, I’ve been compared to cheese and wine, not to mention been accused of both finding the fountain of youth and making a deal with you-know-who. Older guys want to marry me, young guys want to bang me, and most nights I sleep alone, albeit cuddling with my cat.

Let me introduce myself and give you the short version of the Sam Phillips story:

For many years, I was famous for not wearing clothes. In fact, if you’re old enough, you may recognize me from these very pages; I graced them as a Penthouse Pet with a centerfold and magazine cover in June 1993, and was featured in Penthouse magazines in 14 countries. Now, almost two decades later, I’m known for what I say rather than what I look like naked. I’ve become a radio and television host and executive producer with my own 26-episode series on MavTV called The Single Life with Sam Phillips, a behind-the-scenes look at my radio show of the same name. The topics are sex, dating, and relationships — my areas of expertise. But we’ll get to that in a minute. Currently, I’m a partner in an internet radio station, Hot Talk L.A., where I house the uncensored pod cast of my TV show. During 14 years in broadcasting, I’ve hosted and produced 26 different programs on everything from bankruptcy to loan modifications, from hair restoration to Lasik eye surgery.

I graduated valedictorian from the school of hard knocks. I was on the streets of Brooklyn as a teen and dropped out of high school in tenth grade. I quickly fell into modeling; one highlight was landing the Jordache jeans campaign for the company’s sponsorship of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, where my billboards were outside every event entrance during the Games. My editorial and beauty layouts graced the pages of top fashion magazines internationally. I was also on covers of catalogs; on hangtags for clothes and packaging for stockings; in ads for designers, department stores, hair-care products, nail polish, and more. I walked runways around the world and had several commercials under my belt by the age of 18.

After traveling the globe (London, Paris, Italy, Japan) throughout my teens, in my twenties I settled in Los Angeles to become an actress. After starring in the horror film Phantasm II, I got a boob job and did a slew of B movies, which led to my pictorial with Penthouse and my own late-night cable series on Showtime Networks called Hot Springs Hotel. I was a reporter for Sexcetera on the Playboy Channel, I produced and cast the Busty Cops franchise, I co-hosted the nationally syndicated daytime talk show Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus with Dr. Drew Pinsky and other notables, and I hosted Xtreme Fakeovers on the PAX network. That’s right, even the Christians hired me. My past “Sam Phillips, Nudie Model” sins were absolved!

I’m known for saying outrageous things on air: I’ve banged more than 500 guys. I love putting out on the first date. One should sleep with as many people as possible before settling down. That’s advice I both live by and dispense to others.

I like to compare the opposite sex to a buffet. I envision all these different platters laid out, and I’m walking around them holding a plate. You need to sample every dish so you know what you like: which ones you want seconds of; what’s going to be your main course, your appetizer, your dessert. Until you fuck a variety of people, you can’t know the type that will make you happiest. And if you don’t experiment when you’re young and get it out of your system, you’ll do it when you’re older. Hence the term “midlife crisis.” That’s why I encourage all my male listeners to explore their own “inner whores” before they end up screwing up a future relationship by hiring one on the side.

I’ve become quite the sexpert, if I may say so, and I only do because that’s what others have said — on Howard Stern’s radio show! If you want to be able to tell your crew, “She gives the best blowjob I’ve ever gotten,” then please share the following pointers with your girl.

[The Sam Phillips List for Fabulous Fellatio:]

  1. First, the key to deep-throating is the breathing. Tell her to imagine that a tongue depressor is pushing down toward the back of her throat; as she probably knows, she can still take in a breath over it. It’s the same theory with cocksucking. She inhales and holds it, opens her jaw wide, and plunges your dick deep inside, sliding it along her tongue. Then she closes her lips around your shaft (or the base or balls, wherever she can get to) and bobs her head three times. On the fourth, she pulls back and breathes around your cock, then repeats, and repeats, and repeats. Once she gets more comfortable with taking you deep, she should also be more comfortable with you setting the pace.
  2. Second, a woman can practice on vegetables in private to get her gag reflex under control. Tell her to pick up produce in a variety of sizes, shapes, and widths-cucumbers, carrots, zucchini, and celery all work well, but she can even start with a long string bean so she’s prepared for anything. She should work on keeping contact between her lips and the veggie, and on using her tongue to trace patterns on the bottom and along the sides.
  3. My last piece of advice: She should lubricate her mouth before giving head. If she takes a sip of something first to wet her whistle, it makes for a more pleasant face-fucking experience for both of you.

Although that article appeared in Penthouse a decade ago now, we can assure you that Sam remains as wacky as ever and still rules the roost with Pets around here, as she brightens the lives of all of us that get to interact with her. Your best place for that interation of course would be SamsPajamaParty on Instagram. Of course at this point Sam has risen to the lofty position of Photo Editor for Penthouse Magaine itself, so we practice a lot of genuflecting when she wanders by. … Speaking of wandering by, once Sam saw her article about to go up in Legacy, she provided us an update which we’ve happily included here.

And Now … The Sam Phillips Addendum, circa 2022

This article is what brought me back into the Penthouse fold a decade ago. I was writing sex advice columns for websites at the time and figured why not pitch one to Penthouse. The column was called Pet Confidential, where I’d profile past Pets and where they were now, starting with a piece on myself of course … lol.

So much has changed in my life since I wrote this article and I have to take a minute to explain why this is special to me. As you can read, I’ve lived many lives, but out of everything I’ve achieved the one accomplishment that means the most is my (still on-going 29-year) association with Penthouse. 

To go from being a Penthouse Pet, to writing an article in the magazine years later that led to my own column, that eventually led to overseeing all Penthouse Pets, that led to managing Penthouse productions, that led to my current role as Penthouse Magazine photo editor is a trajectory that I never anticipated when I took off all my clothes for my June 1993 layout.

If I could give advice to my 27-year-old self (the age that I shot for Penthouse) I’d say, keep doing what you’re doing, you are on the right path, and you will be rewarded for your hard work. I am very proud of you, and ANYTHING is possible with passion, and Penthouse.

For those of you that missed Sam Phillips in yet another place where she absolutely shines (without even being naked), you can find The Single Life podcast history if you know where to look. Full disclosure, it was an audio program only, so for all we know Sam could have been completely nude the whole time. … Life will never, ever be never boring around Sam Phillips.
