Day 40 [cont]

I ventured from my cool hotel room to go and visit the Museum of Sex, on 5th Avenue and I'm very glad I did!  An amazing place.  Not just for the exhibits (which are amazing in themselves) but also for the people watching.  I really wanted to buy A something but there wasn't anything I could sneak home in my bag for her.  Still, I thought of her while looking at the steel dildos and glass rabbits.

The first thing you see at the MoS is a big, bright boutique style shop front.  It's all very light and could be any kind of exclusive 5th Avenue store.  After buying a ticket at the desk, you are ushered into the back area where it all becomes a lot darker.

The first floor has lots of video screens dotted around the walls with explanation cards (like in any museum) explaining what, why and when.  In the centre of the room are large tables with flat screen TVs in them showing constant porn.  The room is very dark and the other visitors (and there were quite a few) are all a bit shadowy.  This all goes a long way to keeping it all a bit seedy.

In the second room, I was reading one of the information boards which was explaining early gay porn when I heard a woman beside me say "My God!"  I looked down.  On the huge table in front of me was an extreme close up of a guy sucking a massive cock.  Slowly. 

I looked at the woman and smiled, saying it was very big.  I meant the screen rather than the cock but she thought I meant the latter and agreed, saying "I'd like to get me some of that!"  I laughed and she wandered off.

Most of the people were in groups and I noticed an older white woman with her hand firmly around the arm of a younger black guy.  They were clearly pleased with a lot of the exhibits.  There was also a fair few groups of just females.

The visitor is then ushered to the 3rd floor where there is a very bright display of animals engaging in all manner of sexual practices including lesbian monkeys, masturbating turtles and a three way antelope session.  All quite disconcerting.  Boards proclaim that monogamy is not the norm n the animal kingdom - I thought A would like that!

The 2nd floor has a lot of devices, including two life-like sex dolls.  They are behind glass but there are two holes cut at the appropriate places for the visitor to have a fondle.  I have to say that the cock felt real and very hard.  The woman felt like rubber and wasn't nearly as good.

Also in this section was a fantastic male chastity belt from the 1800s.  It looked more like a torture device and I really, really wanted to try it!

The final section is cartoons and comics.  In front of a screen showing Japanese Manga, a group of four girls were sat giggling as I walked by.  One of them pointed a camera at me and asked if I'd take their picture while they were watching the cartoon.  I stepped back and lined the shot up, asking if they were ready.  One said "Wait for a cock!  In a second...NOW!" and I took it for them.  They then went into another fit of the giggles.

So, what an unexpected surprise!  I recommend the New York Museum of Sex to anyone wanted a rather odd museum experience.
