Some people go to the MET while in NYC; Julie and I went to the Museum of Sex. It's a fairly interesting museum, though I will say watching "historical porn" surrounded by strangers is a bit unusual. The basic message of the museum is that for an activity so crucial to our existence and practiced by nearly all of us, we sure don't celebrate or talk much about sex. The animal sex section was eye opening. Did you know that lions give each other oral sex? Or that there are documented cases of mallard duck necrophilia. Monkeys masturbate! The bottom photo is a set piece from a short film by Michael Sullivan called "The Sex Lives of Robots". In the film Sullivan creates a post-apocaliptic world where robots figure out ways to sexually reproduce.
