As anyone who has ever met me knows, I am a highly-stylized, erotic person. That is why next Thursday’s event at Hollywood’s Erotic Museum sounds like it will be fun.
The Museum will be featuring two debuts and one booksigning that night. SEX ED 102: Progressive Sex Theory from the Free-Love Era displays educational material from the 60’s and 70’s, a time, the literature says, when classrooms dared to stray from strictly-biological depictions of “the act” and its consequences.
I never took sex ed at all. I had to find out where my prostate was the hard way. Most people I know who took it said that the purpose seemed to be the demystification of sex so that they wouldn’t really want to do it.
“{SEX ED 102] acknowledges the pleasure aspects of sex often emphasizing foreplay and other activities that have become part of the sexual experience for many people.”
Foreplay? What are you talking about?
THE FOLK SHOW: For the People, By the People is an exhibition of erotic folk art (like the pictured BDSM puppet). It would be interesting if the folk art was really folk art rather than postmodern art done in the style of folk art. But who cares? As I always say, “How can you go wrong when you’ve got Bondage Puppets?”
Finally, Wired.com’s Regina Lynn will be signing her new book, The Sexual Revolution 2.0. I don’t think there is any mention in there about a certain publicist’s recent threats on my life, but I’m sure the Museum has an exhibit on spurned love and repressed homosexuality coming up.
The opening reception for both exhibits and Lynn’s booksigning is from 7-11 p.m. on August 4. The exhibits run until November. Admission is $12.95.
