    A very interesting and eclectic place to visit, demands an open mind! There are a couple of great exhibitions featured at the museum at the moment, and a bouncy castle of boobs!

    Not as risqué as it’s name would suggest. The exhibits are interesting, but half as much as the gift shop! Try and find a coupon for discounted admission.

    I could spend all day in here... I will be back. Worth the admission price and you absolutely should jump for joy for the extra $3. ;)

    Amazingly informative and super fun. Go back often as they constantly change their exhibitions and they're all orgasmic!

    Was expecting a bit more, but informative and interesting nonetheless. Might check out their online site for current exhibits before heading over. <$20 for admission. Worth visiting at least once!

    A super fun evening! Even though some of the attractions are closed due to COVID, it’s still worthwhile checking out. Lots of fun to be had!

    If you don't want to pay to visit the exhibits in the museum you can enjoy what the store has to offer for free. Very good books & also products to choose from.

    A bit short, but it was very fun. Highly recommend going with your lover/partner. Don't forget to get some goodies on your way out! ;)

    The museum itself only takes an hour to see everything and closes late, so it's a good museum to go to when all the others have closed

    Small but interesting exhibits. Worth the visit considering there are not many sex museums out there anyway :)
  • LaDawn P.
    Compared to other world class museums in the city, this shouldn’t be a destination. But it’s quirky, niche and interactive! I won’t return though.

    The R-rated museum presents the history and politics of sex with the motto, “You don’t think about Picasso seven times an hour.”

    You can find discounted tickets on Groupon. So don't worry about the comments complaining about the price. There are also student discounts.

    $20 for students but actually worth, lots of cool exhibits inside. Super thought provoking ideas on sex & sexuality.

    Never miss the cafe. Its in the basement. They serve good drinks plus you get $2 off by checking in. Bartender was very nice too. Will definitely be back.

    The burlesque exhibit is really good. Actually all of them are. It's a Museum you can actually have fun with your friends and so so interesting. Also, great store.

    The NSFW Female Gaze exhibit is worth a look, overall a very titillating and informative look at human and animal sexuality

    Fun place to spend a couple of hours. Enjoyed the exhibit of Linda Lovelace. Such a tragic end to her life.

    gift shop is awesome - the exhibits can be a bit overrated and don't rotate very often. worth going to once

    While the museum leaves a bit to be desired their shop is pretty awesome. If you are looking for a sexy gift for a friend or lover, check out their gift shop. It's awesome!

    Get in that bouncy castle and get childish. Hope you don't accidentally grope someone in the hall of mirrors!

    Save your $20 skip the mues go straight to the cafe or cocktail bar & don't get the beats me cocktail! More boring than mass! Very limited exhibits. Very prudish. No diversity. More nature than human.

    The key draw is the shop; the price of admission is a little steep for what you get. Speaking of steep, expect to climb stairs; this tiny place is not wheelchair accessible.

    Interesting exhibits! Definitely eye opening. I'd skip the bouncy boob castle, was an extra $3 and the boobs weren't even that bouncy 😔

    Sex ed at its best! Great for a date or a girls night out. I wasn't a fan of the food or drinks but the museum was good.

    Use the restroom before coming here...I went in to the lady's room and was soooo disgusted, that I walked right out. The museum itself, the shop, and bar are otherwise very nice! :)

    Sorry, it’s not a giant porn celebration. It’s actually an informative look into the history, evolution, and cultural aspects of human sexuality. That said, climax at the gift store.

    Going here once was enough. More hype than anything. The boob bounce is fun but limits you to about 5 min

    Call ahead to make sure the "Jump for Joy" breast moon-bounce is open. It seems to get closed for repairs on a regular basis.

    Make sure you check out the museum's Oralfix Cafe. Equal parts apothecary and soda shop, it's filled with "potions" containing aphrodisiac ingredients to help you get it on.

    If you’re looking for something interesting and quirky to do, come here. Don’t miss the OralFix aphrodisiac café, which serves up libido-revving treats and elixirs.

    I enjoyed the exhibits. Not the best place if you're trying to get someone in the mood (with all their STD/STI exhibits), lol. But, heyy it may work.
