The Scene – The red lighting and leopard-print stiletto-heel chair near the ticket desk will make you want to glance around nervously, like peepshow-goers do in the movies. But don't worry about being recognized; you're here for educational purposes, right? The museum, which opened in October 2002 , strives to educate the public about "the history, evolution and cultural significance of human sexuality." – – The Collection – Expect to see naked people everywhere, but only in photos, of course. You'll find young couples, their college professors and their tourist…

Interesting place to visit
by Hugh531 at Citysearch
The exhibition is basically divided into two sections. The first being about the evolution of sex within the animal kingdom. This is interesting but certainly throws a wet towel on the idea of learning all about sex. The other section is about the evolution of sex amongst humans. There are lots of interesting exhibits and some amazing artifacts to check out. Overall its really worth a visit and a great place to take your partner.. but maybe not on a first date =p
- Pros: Learn all about sex

Fun and Informative
by mshalhoup at Citysearch
You get to learn about sex and you get to see naked people. Right when you walk in the front door, they make it quite apparent you're in a sex museum with the decor and dark interior. You definitely learn some cool stuff, from sex in the natural to its evolution as a whole. You get a good mix of contemporary sex - in media - and the historic role of sex from our ancestors.
- Pros: Sex
- Cons: None

LOVED IT
by MikeyDisco at Citysearch
I LOVED IT. It's a museum for fornication. I'm a guy. There were clothe-less women. I watched the full Paris Hilton fornication tape. I LOVED IT. Do you need more? Okay fine... I also learned about the mating habits of dolphins, bears, monkeys, and ants. It's a museum for fornication... HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE IT!!!!
- Pros: clothe-less women, fornication videos
- Cons: not enough hands-on exhibits
