I went there about 5 years ago with a friend from out of town and my wife (believe it or not). It was mildly titillating and had a lot of factoids and art projects regarding sex. Its worth seeing once if you are a tourist. It has a gift shop downstairs that is one step up from a XXX porn store. You'd get more history of sex in NYC by hiring an old streetwalker or 42nd Street peep booth gal from the 70's/80's or an old burlesque girl and interviewing her/them.
I've been to every NYC museum while in town , but I'm wondering how's the Museum of Sex ?
Is it worth a visit?

Meh. It's okay, but nothing special unless they're running a particular exhibition, which can be interesting. You will learn more about human sexuality by walking a block east to Le Trapeze. Or better yet, taking a cab to Checkmates, where there are fewer uggos.
..but a great part of town. Go to Eisenberg's and get an eggcream. Sip it in Madison Sq Park.
The actual museum is not all that exciting. But it's a cool location with a neat gift shop.....but best of all is the tourist who slowly drift into the main room.
I think it's important to know this is not a seedy place with painted windows. In fact a very prestigious address on 5th Ave near the Empire State Building.
Yes...it is worth the visit.
Thank you everyone for your input.
I will go just because I like going thru the gift shop and looks like I can buy something useful there!

Both the museum and lecture by a supposed former porn star were interesting, but it was what happened afterward that was most memorable...
What happened afterwards?

Well, we went back to my hotel room, and ordered room service for dinner. After that, it was play time...
Ahh that sounds like a great time
