The erotic museum in Amsterdam
1)AMSTERDAM
"Sex is the most natural thing in the world." Of course! This is the slogan of Venus Temple , a museum that attracts half a million tourists each year (let the renovated Rijksmuseum tremble) . Some amazing data that can be understood by the mythical of this place (it is the oldest museum dedicated to sex in the world), because of its location, in the middle of the Red Light District; for its hours (open until 11:30 p.m.) and for how well set up it is . After all, it occupies an exemplary house from the 17th century with showcases and exhibitors not only loaded with explicit figures and drawings. The Venus Temple can boast of recount like no other the history of sex over the centuries with relics like a fragment of a Delft porcelain tile or Greco-Roman vessels that leave little room for imagination.
2)PRAGUE
The **Prague Sex Machine Museum** (known as SMM) is a hotshot lady in the tourist hotspot. It is just 50 meters from the Old Town Square, in view of many end-of-year excursions to the misfortune of nuns with guitar and tutors . And it is that the hormones are revolutionized when contemplating how the human being is capable of managing to create gadgets for his own and foreign pleasure such as electric female masturbation machines, iron corsets or chastity belts (if they exist!) . Then there is the expected gallery of erotic images or the cinema, where the best scenes of today, yesterday and always are shown at all hours.
3) NEW YORK
The ** MoSex ** is like the MoMA but a little more spicy. It is the most complete space of all those exposed here since It wasn't easy to open a place like on Fifth Avenue . The arguments that were put forward in favor was his interest in showing the evolution of sexual behavior. little less than an anthropological museum focused on the most intimate human behaviors . It is not a collection that looks for the simple and the stimulating for its own sake. And he proves it by devoting entire sections to bondage, homosexuality or the reason for erotic photography. **And then there's that shop (much more than just a pretty sex shop) ** and the bar, where the menu is funny without being sleazy, explicit or repulsive.

4) LAS VEGAS
How could there not be a museum with these characteristics in the city of sin? The striking thing is that it is not in the middle of the Strip. It has a pompous name: ' Erotic Heritage Museum ' and his goal is not to encourage the public to end up in some topless club. Rather, it is an exhibition of the history of eroticism in a country so prone to double standards and also an attempt to naturalize what for many Americans continues to be a taboo. In practice it means dozens of Playboy and Hustler covers, raunchy paintings or erotic movie posters.
5) LOVE LAND
When it comes to sex, the Koreans are just as buzzed as the Japanese (or more). In the middle of Jeju Island, in the north of the country, there is this park not suitable for minors where those over 19 can take some somewhat peculiar walks. throughout this enclosure 140 sculptures of explicit sex follow one another that they find a voluminous explanation for certain postures of the kamasutra as well as other figures of gigantic sexual organs. The Koreans have a blast giggling as they play with some interactive sculptures and watch their spouses throw the odd hint. Although the site is amusing, the Chinese government did not like this concept so much since in 2009 it ordered to demolish a replica that was being built in Chongqing.
6)BERLIN
The Beate Uhse Erotic Museum of the German capital has the honor of being considered the largest erotic museum on the planet. Its founder, Beate Uhse, has the honor of having been one of the first female war pilots in the world and, in turn, to create the concept of sex-shop . In 1996 she decided to show her private collection in a large space in the heart of the Charlottenburg district where European and Asian erotic art and where some of the oldest pornographic films in history are shown.
7) PARIS
Showing how fine they are in the French metropolis, their 'red' museum was called the of eroticism . And it is that this place in Montmartre, through which 10 million annual visitors pass, is quite close to the traditional and didactic concept of a museum, although this does not mean that there are explicit sculptures and images with two diamonds. But it does not seek to alter, but to enrich. His collection captures the multicultural Parisian essence with objects from all origins . Its eagerness to collect all artistic expression obsessed with sex is especially striking, which makes it a quite respectable and solemn place. One ends up looking at phalluses and vaginas like someone looking at an impressionist landscape...
