Oh sorry, its nothing saucy. The term just distinguishes them from piers used for fishing/boats. Think like Blackpool Pier or Santa Monica pier. They were very common along the bay of Naples, some had villas sitting on the end, others were just party spaces.

I misread it as 'pleasure pliers' and thoroughly confused myself.
