My Trip to the

Sexeum

So my birthday was this weekend, fulfilling the last piece of the February Triforce Weekend (Darwin/Lincoln Day, Ing Day, Valentine’s Day). For this weekend my special Lady (links to her blog and craft shop, go support her dang it), took me into NYC to see the Museum of Sex, bum bum buuuuuuum.

Surprising it is NOT just them taking all the porno stores Giuliani chased away and redressing them as a ‘museum” it was an actually entertaining and educational museum of the variety of sexy time stuff. So here we go with my blog picture tour recap.

First things first…

Pen Stations is

weeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrddddddddddddddddddddd

After looking for the subway (the subway system is a blight on a city that is otherwise a shinning example of civic engineering) we finally got unlost and made it to the museum.

If you can’t read the front let me blow (hehe) that up for ya

Good, lord this place is going to be special…

Anyway, the entrance doubles as a gift shop. There’s some good things, some odd things, and some things that must be destroyed with fire, more on that later. A lot of the stuff is classy and upscale, you know for sex toys, but you can (I’m told) get cheaper elsewhere. There are a lot of books there that I thought were cool or funny, but again nothing you really can’t get on Amazon or the like…so the only stuff of note is the nightmare fuel, which I’ll mercifully spare you…for now.

The museum is made up of 3-5 (depending how you count) galleries. From what I can gather two of those are sort of cycled out with new exhibits seasonally, while the rest are pernement artifact and art displays. The museum itself is really a mix between an art gallery and a historical museum.

The first gallery, which was a special, was a history of contraceptives (high focus on the condom). There’s a lot of actual, legit, entertaining trivia here.

WHO KNOWS WHAT EVIL LIES IN THE DICKS OF MEN!?

Proto-Condom

Apparently, Eastern European Jews played a big part in the condom.

Godd Lord he was the Dr. Strangelove of rubbers!

Comedy, Comics, and Condoms; the three gifts the Jews gave America.

Of course now knowing that, it makes THIS condom all the more WTF.

Yes, a condom box from Nazi Germany. Try to wrap your head around that one.

Moving on…

A series of condom educational commercials using sex muppets. The Frog does totally do his assistant. A Brown Grover also gets his penis chopped off (and sown back on)

QUICK TO THE CONDOMZEPLIN!

CONDOM WARS! This has to be made into a movie. Picture it, Women in corsets on Victorian building top fencing with weaponized over-sized dildos.

A Poster on the effects of masturbation. Apparently it causes lethargy, drooling and ...being Peter Lorre?

Aaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnd on that note, let’s end part 1.

I got to run and  I will do part 2 later tonight.  Next up the Paraphernalia room
