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.
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.
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.
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! Xoxox Vanessa
