Our day at the Mosex (Sex Museum)

After a delicious lunch at Cinema (located on 70th and 2nd, highly recommended) we trekked to the Museum of Sex. When you enter the museum, you are in the "gift shop." The layout was very complicated; the first exhibit was on the first floor on one side of the gift shop, then you have to go back through the lobby to the other side and upstairs to see the second exhibit.

We started off with Sex in the media..an awkward exhibit to say the least. We continued on to exhibits such as History of Condoms, History of STD's, and finally Sex Lives of Animals. We will refrain from discussing details however we would definitely say visit for yourself if you are interested. We actually did learn a lot from this museum and were a little bit shocked and amused by many of the things we saw. One exhibit had models of naked people that you could touch (we didn't), and in the animal section, there were enormous sculptures of dolphins and antelopes mating. We also saw a baby blanket made entirely of metal condom wrappers. Very interesting stuff..

I don't think either of us found the museum to be worth the $15 price tag, but it was still a memorable experience to visit. Unfortunately all the people that said they were going to come with us that day ditched, so we were on our own :(. We almost couldn't get a cab afterwards but we ended up finding one and making our train. Please see us for pictures as we don't want to be too explicit.

Love, J and K.
