Sex & Torture in Prague

On our way home from the Prague Underground Tour we ventured into the Sex Machines Museum situated just off Old Town.  The Museum purports to be an "...exposition of mechanical erotic appliances."  Apparently there are sex museums all over Europe, but this one is unique because it focuses on the apparatus people create to try to enhance their sexual pleasure.

It was 250 crowns each (around $10.00 AUS) for admission which was a bit rich, but we paid it anyway. We saw some..erm..mechanical erotic appliances dating back to the 1500's. Some of the things in this museum are quite simply wrong and should not exist - but you absolutely have to go and see them if you're ever in Prague.

The first room had a bra with openings, a love seat and a man's robe with a convenient opening.  The next room actually had a 1925 Spanish porn movie on - it wasn't gratuitous porn, just very very funny.

Other rooms had various old-school methods of contraception, various pouches, walking sticks, belts, mechanical devices, chairs and even wall-mount signs describing various positions.  One display showed piercings that looked like they really could hurt!  I could not believe we were allowed to take pictures! We took very little anyway.  It was an experience to say the very least.
