India's first sex museum opens in Mumbai

City authorities in Mumbai, have opened a sex museum to raise understanding about sex and related issues.

This is the city's - and probably India's - first such museum. The organisers say it is needed because sex is not talked about as openly in India as it is in the West and is often considered as a taboo subject.
They believe it could help spread awareness about AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

The museum's exhibits include fibreglass models of men, women and their genitalia. There are explanations of how a baby is conceived and born. And there are models explaining how to use condoms and illustrations on menstruation, AIDS and STDs.

Well we are not too surprised. After all we are the land of Kama Sutra and we have a rich heritage of erotic art - high time we put it to good use. Read more.
