On the corner of 5th Ave. and 27th Street, what appears to be just a bookstore from the exterior, once inside, reveals a back stair that leads to a 3-level display that explores the history of human sexual intercourse and how it has been depicted in TV, film, and even cartoons over the years, with one entire floor devoted to that of animals. Did you know that the blow hole of a porpoise could double as a vagina? And you couldn't have guessed that Bambi was into threesomes. A visit may reveal to you that the sexual appetites of all sexual beings are not too different. Let's just say it was eye opening to watch a turtle get his rocks off on a rock. No, this is not for the demure. It is all out there close up and personal, every position on display and in motion, from homo, hetero and solo sex all the way down to sex between dragonflies. And, if watching sex scenes and pornography of all types, as well as viewing and reading about the tools and tricks that will lead to the ultimate in pleasure doesn't get you hot, visit the OralFix bar in the basement that serves up all sorts of aphrodisiacs in a space that is conducive to "getting to know one another better." The Museum of Sex gets the thumbs up just for pure edusexual value. Go and enjoy. But please, as instructed as you enter, "do not touch, lick, stroke or mount the exhibits". The Flywire 22
