Forget your preconceived ideas of a museum as being stuffy, dusty, and boring. Welcome to The Museum of Sex, widely known as MoSex Museum NYC. This lavish, provocative celebration of sex is one of its kind, prompting much-needed discussion of the evolution of human sexuality and the many joyous ways in which it illuminates our otherwise humdrum lives and connects us to others. Opening back in October 2002, the idea for MoSex Museum NYC was conceived by founder Daniel Gluck who identified a need not only to document the history of sexuality but to initiate ongoing sex-positive dialogue. Like all things worth doing, MoSex Museum NYC was controversial from the outset; indeed, its application to become a not-for-profit was rejected by the powers that be, who stated that Gluck's plans made a "mockey" of museums. However, Gluck was undeterred in his mission; and even more controversially, he set about acquiring funding from the porn industry for his brainchild. MoSex Museum NYC was born, quickly ushering a brash, vibrant, sexy new visitor experience, and even more rapidly earning a denouncement by The Catholic League of Religious and Civil Rights. But there's no such thing as bad publicity - and kinksters were soon battering down the doors. But the good news is that since 2002, MoSex Museum NYC has received little or no opposition from religious groups. This, of course, is hugely positive. Either they've realised that it's pointless trying to fight the natural expression of human sexuality and that the odds are heaped against them, or, better still, this points to a shift in public attitudes to sex and erotica. MoSex Museum NYC has continued to push the boundaries. Though educational, the museum has steadfastly demonstrated that unafraid afraid to be explicit. Its first exhibit explored how New York City was transformed by sex. Other intoxicating displays followed on the objectification of the American male body, pin-up photography, US Patent Office Sex Inventions, and Superfunland, a massive four-floor show looking at the decadent and underground history of carnival. Admission to MoSex Museum NYC is set at $17.50. Unsurprisingly, visitors must be aged 18 or older.

It offers paid dominatrix services in a clean, welcoming environment on Venice Boulevard, Los Angeles, inviting clients to make their wildest fantasies reality with a host of highly experienced ladies.

In which case, the Detention room beckons. Dominion LA accepts walk-ins, though the website advises that you make an appointment should you wish to see a particular lady. Prices range from $150 for half an hour to $440 for a two-hour session. If you're feeling particularly ***less, you can select two or three ladies to put you through your paces. There's also an option to hire a submissive lady. No *** and alcohol are permitted on the premises. Lady Hillary is the *** behind Dominion LA. This 'headmistress' extraordinaire boasts clients who have been seeing her for 20 years. And what better endorsement is there than that?

Threshold LA was established in 1982 as an organisation helping pansexual people explore BDSM in a safe and consensual way. Since then, it's been at the forefront of LA's kink community, holding community, educational, and members-only events for all kinksters, regardless of their background. All events at Threshold LA are for the 18+, and there's a diverse variety on offer, all aimed at empowering individuals in their kink and fetish choices. Events are held at the organisation's premises in North Hollywood and include explorations of female dominance, regular munches, and even a party aimed at the new generation of kinksters. Additionally, Threshold LA offers classes and other educational events. As a non-profit organisation, it operates a community outreach program, working with doctors, therapists, politicians, and the police to educate them on all aspects of a kink and BDSM lifestyle. In doing so, the aim is to challenge prejudice and engender a safer, non-judgmental environment. The Threshold LA website includes a fascinating history of the society. The organisation has consistently evolved over the years, and its premises now boasts a lounge, BDSM library, seven themed rooms, and a large play space. LED lighting and air conditioning make for a comfortable, welcoming environment in which like-minded people can mix and mingle, forming meaningful connections. You must be a member of Theshold LA, and the website explains how you can go about joining, and the many benefits that membership provides. At time of writing, the society was accepting new members, and membership orientations were held twice monthly. At these hour-long sessions (which are not play parties or kink demonstrations) prospective members can learn more about Threshold LA. Should you decided to join Threshold LA, membership gives you access to exclusive membership-only events and discounts on other events. The annual fee is $25. There is a clear, strict code of conduct for parties, and rules on consent and confidentiality apply. Alcohol is not permitted. And while masturbation and the use of toys is permitted, other forms of sexual activity are not allowed. Full details are given in the rules and etiquette section of the society's website.

Snctm LA has been called the word's most exclusive private members sex and fetish club and has received widespread media attention for its elite soirees held at a multi-million dollar mansion in Beverly Hills, California. Indeed, rumour has it that even Hollywood stars have been in attendance Snctm LA's target group is primarily men (women can attend for free) - but this is not a place for mere mortals. No Riff Raff or day-trippers are permitted. You have to become a member, and the website makes it abundantly clear that the application process is rigorous. Not only must you answer questions about your fantasies, but you're required to submit photographs. Yes, prospective Snctm LA members are vetted for their "aesthetic appeal." Make of that what you will. If your online application is approved, you're invited for a Skype or in-person interview. Daunting, to say the least. And then, of course - should you get that far - there's the membership fee, which ranges from $10,000 to a staggering $1,000,000. One thing's certain, you need an ego as big as your wallet even to consider joining. According to Snctm LA founder, Damon Lawner, members come from "all walks of life" - but the one thing they have in common is "success." Well, certainly rich. So what do these kinky, successful people get for their (very) big bucks? At Snctm LA's monthly masquerade and pool parties (known to us mere mortals as orgies), beautiful A-listers are invited to indulge their wildest fantasies in the most luxurious surroundings one could imagine. Think champagne, butlers, and assorted velvet d***ry. Swinging, partner swapping, rabbit masks, voyeurism - it's a veritable buffet of kink. Guest numbers are limited, and women significantly outnumber men. But the golden rule at Snctm LA is that everything is consensual. Snctm LA requires all men to wear tuxedos (no pierced nipples on display here, lads), and women are attired in the most sumptuous garter belts and stilettos. And as with the film Eyes Wide Shut, everyone wears a mask. Depending on what your idea of kink is, this is hot, or it's just tame and predictable.

Hubba Hubba Boston has been selling cutting edge clothing since 1979. Since then, it has also become known as Boston's kinkiest boutique store. This treasure trove of saucy delights gives you the tools and inspiration to make a lasting impression - both in and out of the boudoir, or, indeed, the dungeon! Hubba Hubba Boston is not concerned with the 'ordinary' or the 'normal.' It consistently rejects such terms. This shop is all about making an impact. It's about being quirky and unforgettable. And outrageously, fabulously kinky. The store is rooted in punk and rock fashions. Punk is an attitude; it's the exponent of a 'Do It Yourself' ethos. It's about tearing up the rules and boundaries and creating your own fashions - not just in what you wear but in the way you live your life. Punk pays no heed to what is deemed 'acceptable.' And it steadfastly challenges tedious and inhibiting conventions such as class and patriarchy. In other words, it does all the things that a bold kink and fetish lifestyle should do. Consequently, daring kinksters will find their natural home in Hubba Hubba Boston. So what can you expect to find in the store? First and foremost, it is known for its staggering array of corsets - the largest selection in the area. There's also a vast collection of hosiery and lingerie to choose from, meaning there is absolutely no excuse to become predictable in your bedroom attire. As well as all the sexy clothing, Hubba Hubba Boston offers a superb range of vibrators and other sex toys and BDSM equipment to take your shenanigans to an altogether different level. Whether you're looking for tools for impact play, sensation play, chastity, pegging, or even a bit of electrostimulation, you will find it here. Better yet, many of these products are handmade locally, meaning you're supporting the fetish community. The shop was founded 40 years ago by Susan Phelps, and is now owned by MJ Pullins and Reign Fure. But the friendly, welcoming - and unapologetically kinky - atmosphere that marked it out when it first started trading is still there in abundance.

Good Vibrations has over 40 years of experience selling high-quality sex toys and other sex-related productions. During this time, it has also built a formidable reputation for providing sexual health information. As part of this, it offers a diverse and stimulating range of regular workshops and sex and fetish educational events at its stores across the United States, including its Good Vibrations Boston store. As well as selling every type of sex toy one could imagine, Good Vibrations Boston is firmly committed to sexual empowerment. The store has steadfastly celebrated sex-positivity over the years - and continues to do so. It embraces all genders and sexual orientations and is centred on providing support for anyone who wants to enhance their sexual experiences. Recognising that sexual stigma is a destructive ***, Good Vibrations Boston provides a safe, non-judgmental environment in which kinksters can meet and explore their fantasies. Sex-positive people from all backgrounds and ages can learn more about their bodies at Good Vibrations Boston workshops. It must be noted that these are not play parties. The workshops and events are for purely educational purposes only. That said, they are always fun and friendly. Previous workshops have covered many topics. These range from BDSM basics to cannabis in sex, oral sex tips, regular ladies' nights, spanking workshops, tarot cards and sex, women's sexual arousal, and even tours of well-known sex museums. Many of these workshops are free. The workshops are open to all. Some have more of an emphasis on women and sexuality. But there are also events aimed at all genders, and celebrations of trans identity. Before the establishment of Good Vibrations four decades ago, sex shops were often considered dark and seedy. They were all too frequently associated with shame. The company boldly transformed the idea of what a sex shop should look like. Consequently, the Good Vibrations Boston store is bright, clean, joyful places, offering an eclectic range of sex toys, books, and films. The workshops offer a great space in which to re-connect with not only your body but with a broader kink community.

Boston Unbuttoned is a free blog with the goal of helping people find sex-positive events and Boston, Massachusetts - and surrounding areas. This is a much-needed, well-presented web resource for both experienced kinksters and those just starting out and looking to meet and mingle with like-minded people. Boston Unbuttoned has a clear mission. Its goal is to promote consensual, sex-positive pursuits. Crucially, it recognises the diversity of our communities and is committed to helping people forge meaningful connections. Above all, Boston Unbuttoned stands for a bold, unapologetic, inclusive celebration of all the wonderful, varied forms of sexual expression out there. The goal is to inspire people to explore their sexuality to its full potential in a safe, supportive environment - and it shows you just how you can go about this in Boston. The blog notes that erotic culture in Boston can be tough to find and access. While the city is a vibrant, cosmopolitan centre, the sensual delights on offer are initially not as evident as in west coast cities like Seattle and that bastion of sexual freedom San Francisco. However, Boston Unbuttoned assures its readers that an erotic community most certainly does exist in Boston. It's just more challenging to find it. What's the reason for this, it muses. Perhaps it has something to do with Boston's Puritan heritage. But both residents and visitors need not ***. Plenty is going on in Boston for the sexual libertine. Sex-positive events are listed on Boston Unbuttoned's calendar. There's also a separate page listing 'Boston-Area Lush Life Events'. Here you can find links to meetups and links to other websites, such as Poly Boston, for the polyamorous. Boston Unbuttoned also lists classes and kink/sex education within the area. This includes Sex Education Institutes in nearby states, live workshops, and a link to the Kink Academy, which is a superb resource for online sex education videos. Additionally, you'll find a page on local fetish gear providers and links to resources that will help your spiritual and personal growth. Visit this lovingly curated blog, and you won't remain buttoned up for long.

The name of this blog - The Pervocracy - should alone be enough to entice kinksters. This is a fascinating feminist sexblog aimed at the BDSM community, and all articles are refreshingly sex-positive. So who is the power behind The Pervocracy? This is a personal blog charting the experiences of Cliff Pervocracy. The author says that "he" prefers the "he-type" pronouns, so we shall use those here. Cliff describes himself as 27-year-old living in the Boston area. His gender is "complicated, but some variety of transmasculine". Cliff's day job, according to the blurb, is working in a hospital emergency room. But his true identity is that of an "all-round completely horny slut". Again, it's refreshing to see this kind of honesty - and immediately makes one want to read more. What else do we learn about Cliff? Well, he is in a polyamorous relationship, and his boyfriend Rowdy (whom we're told has an appendage like a "coke can" - well, hello there!) is a recurring character on the site.. Rowdy has also written guest blogs. Additionally, you can expect to meet a regular cast of five other intriguing characters - Artemis, Sprite, Tommy, Alan, and Benny. Cliff has had associations with all of these men and women in his never boring, always kinky celebration of polyamory. Unfortunately, The pervocracy hasn't been updated since July 2018 (the date of the last post). However, it still represents a candid, informative resource on sexuality and kink - offering some great advice, always laced with wicked humour. His sexual shenanigans are a joy to read. Previous posts include some very witty commentary on the widely critically panned Fifty Shades of Grey, and a very engaging 30-day kink diary, which is well worth reading. Moreover, you can expect to find much-needed critiques of online sexism and media representation of the kink/BDSM lifestyle. It's also well worth checking out The Pervocracy for its list of online kink resources in the Boston area. And better still, Cliff provides four worksheets on kink, sex, and relationships that he's used in talks over the years.
