Do we need a sex museum?

On Oct. 5, the Museum of Sex opened in New York City. Sponsored by private funds (reportedly not from the misnamed “adult entertainment industry”), MoSex, as the museum is called, has a rather narrow view of what constitutes sex. Missing from its first exhibit, NYC Sex: How New York City Transformed Sex in America, is any hint of heterosexuality. Instead the focus is on lesbian comic book characters and homosexual sado-masochism. As journalist Jay Shaw noted, “It should be called the Museum of Deviated Sex.”
