NYC Sex

NYC Sex: How New York City Transformed Sex in America investigates the sexual subcultures of the city’s past and present, and explores the means by which they have influenced the development of modern attitudes about sex and sexuality.

Delving into the histories of prostitution, burlesque, birth control, obscenity, fetish and more, the inaugural exhibition of the Museum of Sex, NYC Sex, includes never-before exhibited selections from public and private collections, including materials once confiscated and classified as obscene. These primary sources of social history — letters, photographs, films and newspapers — reveal how it has been possible in New York, more than in any other American city, to form communities around sex and sexuality.
