- funky flavorAugust 24, 2016There are lots of unteresting stuff to see here. Come with a *friend * it will give you a lot of history and interesting facts about the evolution of sex as well as a lot of interesting ideas.
- Soph TedenOctober 4, 2014A 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!
- The Corcoran GroupDecember 12, 2011Not 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.
- Julia ColosimoDecember 27, 2017I 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. ;)
- Chelsea LewFebruary 20, 2015Amazingly informative and super fun. Go back often as they constantly change their exhibitions and they're all orgasmic!
- Majd S.January 10, 2015The place is pretty educational, has lots of fun things to look at and learn ..definitely worth visiting and don't forget to buy a souvenir or two before you leave
- Stephanie S.March 13, 2014Was 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!
- Christina LouiseSeptember 16, 2020A 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!
- AKWMay 18, 2012If 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.
- Gibran AbreuJuly 1, 2015A 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! ;)
- David MaDecember 24, 2014The 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
- Time Out New YorkJune 28, 2013A full three-page transcript of Facebook messages between then-Representative Anthony Weiner and blackjack dealer Lisa Weiss is on display in the “Universe of Desire” exhibition. Read more
- MetroFocusJanuary 18, 2012Foursquare users receive $2 off any drink at the OralFix Bar upon their first check-in. Check out other discounts for museums in the NYC area on MetroFocus. Read more
- Daron YondemJanuary 17, 2015Small but interesting exhibits. Worth the visit considering there are not many sex museums out there anyway :)
- LaDawn Penigar-MitchellApril 23, 2023Compared 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.
- CompassMay 9, 2014The R-rated museum presents the history and politics of sex with the motto, “You don’t think about Picasso seven times an hour.”
- Aran RodríguezOctober 16, 2019Museum is very interesting. One of a kind! The exhibitions were very informative. Museum store is awesome!
- JYOTI SINGHJuly 26, 2016You can find discounted tickets on Groupon. So don't worry about the comments complaining about the price. There are also student discounts.
- Tim DengAugust 18, 2018$20 for students but actually worth, lots of cool exhibits inside. Super thought provoking ideas on sex & sexuality.
- Demi BrownMarch 8, 2013Never 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.
- Tany MonteiroMarch 28, 2011The 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.
- BaileyJune 24, 2017The NSFW Female Gaze exhibit is worth a look, overall a very titillating and informative look at human and animal sexuality
- justa gypsyMarch 1, 2015Fun place to spend a couple of hours. Enjoyed the exhibit of Linda Lovelace. Such a tragic end to her life.
- Stina P.June 10, 2016gift shop is awesome - the exhibits can be a bit overrated and don't rotate very often. worth going to once
- Yolanda ShoshanaSeptember 11, 2011While 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!
- Dean WheelerJune 5, 2015Get in that bouncy castle and get childish. Hope you don't accidentally grope someone in the hall of mirrors!
- Aileen O'BrienAugust 2, 2014Save 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.
- Sweta MohapatraJune 11, 2015The 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.
- Asli SMay 2, 2017Interesting exhibits! Definitely eye opening. I'd skip the bouncy boob castle, was an extra $3 and the boobs weren't even that bouncy 😔
- Lovely G.August 12, 2014Sex 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.
- Leibnitz PirozziNovember 20, 2011Use 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! :)
- DailyCandyFebruary 26, 2014Sorry, 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.
- Dana ParkerJanuary 29, 2015Visual overload, best gift shop. Their permanent collection is full of the most interesting items
- Shannon AndersonAugust 7, 2017Going here once was enough. More hype than anything. The boob bounce is fun but limits you to about 5 min
- Mark AndussAugust 10, 2014Call ahead to make sure the "Jump for Joy" breast moon-bounce is open. It seems to get closed for repairs on a regular basis.
- Time Out New YorkSeptember 10, 2010Make 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.
- Time Out New YorkFebruary 1, 2012Explore this institution’s collection of titillating photographs, films and all manner of erotic ephemera. Stop by the souvenir shop and pick up a copy of Adult Mad Libs to play with your date. Read more
- BooieApril 9, 2015You can buy the best sex toys but the museum itself is not as impressive as I hope it would be considering its a museum in New York
- Carola WüstAugust 14, 2014Maybe interesting for prude Americans - normal for Europeans. Must-see is the museum shop: no need for paying admission ...
- MarieClaireNovember 12, 2010If 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.
- Flyboii JIGFebruary 12, 2011I 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.
- veronique @ zaptravel.com .August 30, 2013The mission of the Museum of Sex is to preserve and present the history, evolution and cultural significance of human sexuality.
- Elizabeth LeeOctober 17, 2016Interesting museum to check out. You can even see linda lovelace in deep throat here.
- Erik CintronOctober 5, 2010Awesome museum 4 floors and the 4th floor changes from time to time. Defintely have to go with ur girl and ur defintely buying something from the gift shop
