Promising to help visitors improve their sex lives, an adults-only sexual "theme park" opened on Wednesday in London: Amora-The Academy of Sex and Relationships. Stereotypical Britons may be all stiff upper lips and cucumber sandwiches rather than sexually open, passionate lovers, but this visitor attraction promises to get them out of their shells. "We consciously differentiate ourselves from a museum: we are about sex today and tomorrow, not in the past," Amora's founder and chairman Johan Rizki told AFP. "The Amsterdam sex museum is sleazy; New York's is rather boring," added the Frenchman, New Yorker and Harvard Business School graduate.
The organisers are convinced that this exhibition will help many people who will leave with useful advice on how to enrich their sex life. Amora spokesperson said that the exhibition avoided pornography and sleaziness, yahoo news reports. Thus, the English will satisfy their curiosity and get answers to all of their sexual dilemmas that have been puzzling them.
Visitors discover seven zones blending knowledge with entertainment, covering aspects of sexual relationships including the chemistry of dating, erogenous zones, fantasies, techniques and sexual health. "My idea was to create somewhere for talking about sex, but in a very fun, interesting, up-to-date way," said Rizki.
"No-one before has ever brought love into a physical space where it is accessible to people. We have sex therapists where people can go and ask questions and there are workshops and academics host debates," said Rizki, touting the venue as "the most emotive visitor attraction in London."
Several cities around the world - including Paris, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and Barcelona - have erotic museums. Typically, they exhibit everything from pornography to high-minded paintings exploring local sexual attitudes and culture.Labels: academy, amora, london, park, sex
