The Museum of Sex invites you to participate in its national project, Mapping Sex in America. Record your personal sex history and become a part of this ongoing archive chronicling Americans' stories of sexual practice and the evolution of America's sexual customs.

Mapping Sex in America takes our private stories and allows us to share them in an environment that encourages our contemplation. What are our boundaries? Prejudices? What turns us on and what offends us? What are the implications in terms of sex education, crime prevention, and disease control?

From the mundane to the passionate to the scandalous and everything in between, these stories have the capacity to captivate us, heal us, and educate us; but perhaps most importantly they connect us in a colorful world heretofore shrouded by the conventions of discretion.

Mapping Sex in America takes its inspiration from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) of the 1930s, through which oral-history interviews with everyday Americans across the country were recorded; StoryCorps, a national project whose aim is to record peoples' stories in sound; and Alfred Kinsey, whose lifetime ambition was to thoroughly and thoughtfully document the sexual histories of anyone willing to share their sexual past.

To record your personal history, click on your state and follow the instructions. We want to ensure that your story can be enjoyed for generations to come so your interview will also be added to the Mapping Sex in America Archive.
