MUSEUM OF SEX TO DEBUT IN NEW YORK --AS IT SHOULD, PLANNERS SAY
By Michael S. James
[Sept. 30 * Porno movies. Risqué comics and books. Tabloid-style sex
scandals. Openly gay culture. Mae West. You have New York to thank for all
of them * and probably for your perceptions of sex * say officials of the
Museum of Sex.]
The brand-new museum, located at Fifth Avenue and 27th Street in Manhattan,
is set to open Saturday with its inaugural exhibit, "NYC Sex: How New York
City Transformed Sex in America."
"It was called 'Sodom on the Hudson'; that was the name for New York City,"
says Daniel Gluck, the museum's director and founder. "The idea, 'Only in
New York,' is not a recent term or cliché. It is a fairly old one. And that
is because it seemed that almost anything was possible in New York * good
and bad, vice and achievement."
Gluck openly aspires for the Museum of Sex to be considered among the top
ranks of serious, world-class museums. Just as New York's Museum of Modern
Art is known as MoMa, Gluck and colleagues refer to their institution as
MoSex.
The museum's official mission "is to preserve and present the history,
evolution, and cultural significance of human sexuality," and those
connected to it boast the museum fills a niche as the only one of its type
in America.
"This is a serious endeavor, in the sense that it wants to inform and
educate as well as to entertain," says June M. Reinisch, a historian adviser
to the museum and director emeritus of The Kinsey Institute, a beneficiary
of the exhibit's proceeds.
"Sexuality is a very important part of individual human life and to
culture," she adds. "To not understand it is to be handicapped in your
understanding of human relations and culture."
PORN, BONDAGE, TRANSEXUALS
And where else to depict the sexual aspects of America's culture besides New
York? Museum officials say that as America's pre-eminent commercial,
cultural and media hub since the early 1800s, New York, more than any other
place, historically has pushed America's sexual envelope.
The exhibit makes its case with artifacts connected to New York * including
the explicit pornographic film, 'A Free Ride' (aka 'A Grass Sandwich'), made
between 1915 and 1919 and purportedly the earliest surviving "stag film."
One museum panel displays early homemade bondage implements. Another shows
news clippings and video footage of Christine Jorgensen, a World War II
veteran who became a sensation when she addressed the New York media as a
transsexual woman in the early 1950s.
There are erotic paintings and drawings, suggestive (but clothed) depictions
of 19th-century contortionists, male beefcake photos and 'Fighting on the
Grass', a black-and-white movie by Irving Claw showing silk-shredding women
ripping off each other's clothes in a passionate catfight. It's said Claw
stymied the censors by leaving the women's private parts strategically
covered.
Lesbian pulp novels with titles like 'Trap of Lesbos' and 'Warped Women' are
displayed on a panel next to an array of comics featuring Wonder Woman, who
the exhibit notes wore spiked heels and a cinched waist as she tied up her
enemies.
"All of this stuff comes from New York, was made in New York, was influenced
by New Yorkers, and that sort of theme carries through the entire
exhibition," Gluck says of the show, which is restricted to adults 18 or
older and costs $17 for admission.
MOSEX OR MOSMUT?
There have been signs of discontent over the museum, which withdrew its
application before the New York State Board of Regents to be recognized as a
nonprofit institution. A spokesman for the Board of Regents did not know the
reason for the withdrawal.
Even before it opened, MoSex drew fire from William Donohue, president of
the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. In a Sept. 16 statement,
he denounced the museum as "MoSmut" for celebrating "smut as sex." He
accused the museum of championing or associating with racists, pornographers
and individuals who "exhibit pathological characteristics."
Museum officials say they expected some negative reaction, but so far have
only heard of scattered opposition. They add that although some displays
show explicit pornography, others feature photos of fully clothed subjects
and point out the cultural significance of historical events or figures such
as birth-control advocate Margaret Sanger or Mae West, who was a sexy stage
star in New York before her movie fame.
"Calling it a Museum of Sex of course is wonderful, because it gives it that
punch," says Luc Sante, a historian adviser to the museum and author of 'Low
Life: Lures and Snares of Old New York'. "But to be really accurate would
probably mean to call it the Museum of Sexual Culture."
Not all sexual culture in New York involves "the greasy raincoat brigade"
that might be found lurking in dark corners of seedy strip clubs, Sante
says, though the size of the city allowed such niche sexual groups to avoid
eradication by anti-vice crusaders.
New York's cultural influence also has been spread subtly, he adds, such as
through whispers about sexual subcultures and practices following the highly
publicized murders of prostitute Helen Jewett, in 1836, and sexually
adventurous architect Stanford White, in 1906.
The crimes and subsequent trials were heavily covered by the media, and
rumors about White's bachelor-party-style escapades had "a major influence
on bourgeois men across the country," Sante says.
PORNOGRAPHY FOR THE MASSES
But, of course, New Yorkers also used plenty of explicit matter to trumpet
sex, such as New York-published "Tijuana Bibles," illegal comic books sold
on the black market during the first half of the 20th century. Reinisch
calls them "the first S pornography for the masses."
The comics relied on familiar names as much as on pornography, and visitors
to the museum can punch an interactive display to view featured titles such
as Laurel and Hardy in "Doing Things", and other unauthorized strips
featuring Joan Crawford, Joe Louis, Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers and Wonder
Woman.
"Before this, erotica was made for emperors and kings and for the nobility
and the aristocracy by great artists and fine craftsmen," Reinisch says. "It
wasn't until [the first Tijuana Bibles] in America S that there was erotica
available for the everyday man, John Q. Public."

Hi,
What the heck. My wife and I decided to stay put and ride this puppy out.
Lili may pack winds of over 100, but we're brave...and we have our jokes.
Here are a couple to tide you over if you're in Lili's path. Hopefully new
to you; if I've already sent #1 (it's all that low pressure entering the
city), read the next one):
#1
Inner Strength...
If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when,
through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can do all these things,
Then you are probably the family dog.

I will do anything...
A student comes to a young professor's office after school hours. At his
doorway, she glances down the hall to the left, then right, and closes his
door behind her. She then kneels pleadingly before him at his desk.
"I would do anything to pass this exam." She leans closer to him, flips
back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes.
"I mean..." she whispers, "... I would do... any-thing!"
He returns her gaze. "Anything?"
"Yes. Anything!"
His voice turns to a whisper. "Well... would you... study?"
---------------------
Gosh, my head is so clogged.
Love you guys!
