Sex on Display

Don't you wish you knew what was in this viewfinder? ;)

This weekend was my cousin Emijaa's 25th birthday celebration weekend and one of the things she wanted to do to celebrate was to visit the Museum of Sex in NYC. I have to say it was definitely an experience! The exhibits were very interesting ;). My favorite was actually the permanent collection on the third floor. It featured lots of tasteful nudist art, period items from burlesque shows, and lots of toys and contraptions you might see in a sequel of Saw or a vintage Marilyn Manson Video...think "Beautiful People". I encourage you to visit if you've never been, but you do need to be prepared before you go! To get the most out of your experience I recommend visiting with your girls or alone with your significant other. The overt displays of sexuality and porn at every turn might make it a little uncomfortable to get the most out of this environment in a group setting. My suggestion...a great threshold date spot. You know what the threshold is...its the point when IT is inevitable..ITs GONNA happen or IT probably just did...;). If your relationship is about to near that pivotal point...see what you're working with together by visiting this museum...its alot easier to talk about sex in an environment like this with a partner who's not so open about it, and it definitely gives those mounting sexual tensions the push they need to put them over the edge. Its also a great "dating-out-of-the-box spot" so visit with your longtime hubby or beau for some extra spice! Don't forget to check out the gift shop for some interesting reads and prepare to be shocked and maybe even a little weirded out by some of the exhibits. There are definitely some "colorful" things going on throughout the entire Sex Lives of Animals exhibit, and the Action: Sex and the Moving Image exhibit will take you on a VERY visually informative evolution about the revolution of sex and pornography. (You'll even see a few cameos by Paris, Colin, Pam and Tommy.) Just remember look but don't touch...the museum's staff is strict about touching the exhibits.....even if you REALLY want to ;)

The Museum is open Monday through Sunday and open late on Saturday. Visit this link to see what you're getting into before you go....but def go!LOVE
