Soph Teden

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!

The Corcoran Group

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 .

Julia Colosimo

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. ;)

Chelsea Lew

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

Majd S.

The 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.

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!

Christina Louise

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!

AKW

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.

all u can see

Gibran Abreu

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! ;)

David Ma

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

Time Out New York

A 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 .

Small but interesting exhibits . Worth the visit considering there are not many sex museums out there anyway :)

Compass

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

LaDawn Penigar-Mitchell

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.

NYC-ARTS

Highlighting material and artifacts from different continents, cultures, times periods and media, the museum 's permanent collection features over 15,000 artifacts . Make sure you check it out! Read more

Aran Rodríguez

Museum is very interesting. One of a kind! The exhibitions were very informative. Museum store is awesome!

JYOTI SINGH

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

Tim Deng

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

Demi Brown

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.

Tany Monteiro

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.

justa gypsy

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

Bailey

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

Stina P.

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

Aileen O'Brien

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.

Dean Wheeler

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

Yolanda Shoshana

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!

Sweta Mohapatra

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 .

Evi

A great museum for the history of sex with an amazing shop

Mariana D'Andrea

10% discount with your check in!

Asli S

Interesting 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.

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.

Leibnitz Pirozzi

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! :)

DailyCandy

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 .

Dana Parker

Visual overload, best gift shop . Their permanent collection is full of the most interesting items

Shannon Anderson

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

Mark Anduss

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.

Time Out New York

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.

Zhue Estrada

Best place ever, I think is more funny than MoMa. LOL

Carola Wüst

Maybe interesting for prude Americans - normal for Europeans. Must-see is the museum shop: no need for paying admission ...

Booie

You 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

Amy Cummings

The boobie bounce house is a must.

Flyboii JIG

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.

MarieClaire

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 .

Time Out New York

Explore 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

Elizabeth Lee

Interesting museum to check out. You can even see linda lovelace in deep throat here.

Erik Cintron
