soliciting sex, with an offering of sugar cane."
The Museum of Sex.
i have been feening to visit this place for the last 3 years. and finally, after years of procrastinating, i got my butt up and went. and i was completely blown away. ;). like i've said before... museums and exhibitions are very happy places for me. and when you add sexuality, erotics, knowledge, lust, and aphrodisiacs to the mix, it's the perfect concoction!! the museum had two temporary exhibitions (apart from their regular, permanent exhibitions). the temp. exhibitions were ACTION: Sex and the moving image... and "The sex lives of ANIMALS". fucking fantastic. literally.
ACTION: Sex and the Moving Image, was a showcase of the pornography from early 1900's to present time. three roomfuls, taking you from black and white 'silent film' porn to ancient sex toys... from vintage porn stars, to todays dominatrixes.
there was also a condom exhibition. showcasing the earliest forms of condoms, and condom inspired artwork/ sculptures. also showcasing different forms of protection throughout history.
but my absolute favorite exhibition was The Sex Lives of ANIMALS. thanks to this exhibition, i now look at animals and their sex lives... in a WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE.... ohhh maaan!!! animals have absolutely no shame in their fucking game. literally.
the museum also has an aphrodisiac cafe appropriately named "Oral Fix". could this place GET any better?!?!? a cozy, inviting cafe, located in the lower level of the museum. serving "potions" that stimulate sexual libido, potency, lust, and attraction. apart from potions, they also offer pastries, snacks, regular drinks, and "make your own potion" drinks... all stimulating sexuality. i of course, HAD TO have a taste...!
this place was fucking superb. literally ;) if you live in NYC... or will be visiting NYC...
this place is a must. i am definitely going again soon.
i took a billion pictures... keeping my viewers in mind <3...
so hold on to your undies and check em out...!!
