The Sex Museum

My friends and I ventured around the touristy section of Dam square and ended up going into the Sex Museum, I mean, why not? I have to say that if I was running the show, the museum would be much more well organized.

There were many random rooms filled with explicit images, though none of them made clear sense as to why they were placed where they were. They did have a room filled with images that many would consider very perverse or deviant forms of sexuality. You were cautioned before going in, but really, it wasn't anything I hadn't seen before. I am studying sexuality and such, but still, I don't think many would be all too shocked.

The exhibit I found most interesting were the photos taken from the early 20's. It is interesting to see pornographic images taken in black and white and slightly amusing to see the outfits on the people in the images as well. I think that many are used to seeing pornographic images of the now and not the then. In fact, most think pornography is a relatively new phenomenon. These pictures clearly disproved that. They also portrayed lesbian and gay scenes, "back then," as well.

If you are planning on going to the Sex Museum, be forewarned, there are life sized, naked, unattractive models that pop out at you from the corner...
