Ed Rothstein of the New York Times covers the “Kink: Geography of the Erotic Imagination,” exhibit at the Museum of Sex in New York City. The exhibit, inspired by Katherine Gates (author of Deviant Desires: Incredibly Strange Sex) roadmap of the erotic world, spans the far reaches of human desires. Sponsered by lube makers, Pjur and Medical Toys, the exhibit includes displays on latex (Courtesy of Demask), inflatable, bondage, gender and animal transformation, medical-play, sploshing and a plethora of other naughy fascinations from the erotic smorgasbord of the human mind.
“Handle masks and examine props and accessories, all the while learning about the larger narrative themes that bind all human eroticisms together, from the most “vanilla” to the most kinky. Bring your camera or cell phone and document your journey into this erotic wonderland.”
This is the most interactive exhibit the museum has displayed since it’s inception. It’s collection has grown exponentially since it’s opening five years ago, with a number of revolving exhibits showcasing the many facets of the world of sex. The museum also regularly features guest lecturers, film showings, performances and other events. Located in Chelsea, just a stone’s throw from many of New York City’s finest purveyors of pervary (Such as Purple Passion), be sure to check it out on your next visit to Manhattan.

It’s not in Chelsea.
It’s in Murray Hill, just off of 5th Avenue.
I always think of Murray Hill as east of Lexington. Six of one, half dozen of the other really, all depends on who you ask. Someone else might call it the Flatiron District.
