Pleasures of the Flesh is the second album by Exodus, released in 1987 (see 1987 in music). This is the first Exodus album to feature Steve Souza on vocals. It was remastered and re-issued by Century Media in 1998 in Europe only.

The album was to originally feature cover art with an illustration of the band depicted as cannibals preparing and eating their meal. However the cover was replaced with a photo of the band members leaning on a bar prior to release. The original cover was promoted by the record company in music magazines just prior to its release with the headline of "Metal's Heaviest Meal". The original cover was also available as a limited edition picture disc LP. There are several demos of songs from the album with their former singer Paul Baloff circulating on the internet.
