This is more than just a little bit tacky. Walking around with a load of people feeling silicon models to discover erogenous zones?

If you want to learn how to be a 'fantastic lover' buy a book, for crying out loud, and keep it in the bedroom.

Sex theme park to open in London

A £7m sex theme park, which has no rides, is to open in London's West End later this year.

Visitors to Amora - The Academy of Sex and Relationships at the Trocadero in Piccadilly, will pass through seven zones including Pleasure and Orgasm.

The 10,500sq-ft exhibit is designed to "separate fact from myth and educate everyone into being better lovers".

You have to be aged 18 and over to get in and tickets will cost £15 for the attraction which opens on 7 September.

Organisers expect to attract more than 600,000 visitors within the first year.

The theme park will include life-sized silicone-made models which visitors can touch to discover erogenous zones.

People will also be able to build their ideal partner from a series of body parts and there will be instructions on how best to kiss and how to talk more sexily.

The seven zones will start with attraction, love and relationships and include a sexual well-being zone which looks at the dangers of unsafe sex.

The academy's director of exhibits Dr Sarah Brewer said: "The more sex we have the more we want and the less sex we have the more we want.

"This academy does push boundaries back and whatever your prowess when you come in we will give you all the information you need to become a fantastic lover."

So, hookers, then?

ummmm

*looks confused*

ummmm

For some reason I cant help but think this is frickin sweet.

*lol
I love the idea. I definitely will go and see that some time... well, and feel it ;)

Lots of clumsy fumbling and people screaming "SINNER! SINNER! PERVERT!!!" maybe?

But you get tired of that. :D

Sex sex sex?

I think the whole idea is just sick.

hahaha, this reminds me of an article about sex tourism I read this weak. It appears that some countries are VERY popular for single travelling women, who then hire a "local expert" to show them a good time. Coincidentally, these woman are mostly English....

perhaps the English government decided to do this to keep the English women at home??

Sounds like a good idea, to me.

Sex always sells - I'm surprised this has taken so long...

I like the idea of people being less inhibited about sex, and the more educated people are the better. I am somewhat less impressed by the being able to make your own perfect partner bit..it will just be guys making Jessica Rabbitesque fantasy women and still not knowing where the clitoris is........

No matter how knowledgeable you think you are, there is always room to improve.
Anyone that cant find the clitoris has no business being near it in the first place. If the densest dullard breathed on it, they'd be immediately aware.

Just paying close attention to your partner gives you most, if not all the info you need to perform well.

Actually - it might have the opposite effect... when the 'lads' assemble what sounds perfect - in their heads - and then see how disturbing that looks in reality...

Hopefully, if they view the entire collection, they might gain a basic knowledge of anatomy, also. :)

I honestly dont know how people can NOT find it.

You'd be surprised... I've already considered drawing a map

... and an instruction's manual. Finding it is not all, you know. :rolleyes:

Luckily for me now, Canadian sex education in whatever form it may take, works REAL well. :D

But I KNOW just what you mean Cabra...:headbang:

Now I have to say, as much as this is a fun idea, and probably good, there are better things to be spending money on. How much of that could have gone to fund subsidized housing, or food banks, or free pet spay and neuter programs, or child abuse prevention programs, or literacy programs, or animal rescues, or cancer/AIDs research and support, or survivors of natural disasters, or cleaning up the environment, or WHATEVER?

...seriously, I mourn the fact that I can't give enough money to good causes like that, but I do what I can. Apparently, some people (and governments) have so much, they just don't know what to do with it! Well, here is a start:

Where does it say it's government funded?

And if it is, believe me a place like this will likely make a good deal of money, which the government in turn can spend on charity programs and the like.

i think the sex museum is a great idea. i'd definitely go if i was nearby. it sounds much better than the amsterdam sex museum which really is tacky, it's just porn basically.

Behold...
http://newyorkmetro.com/listings/attraction/museum_of_sex/

Dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! It will be full of 18 year old male virgins, all pretending to be there because they thought it would be funny, rather than the sad reason that they are crap in bed and they could never "pull a bird" (H5N1 doesn't worry them).


I think I shall give it a wide berth and keep to the theatre when I'm in the West End next.

didn't anyone else find it funny that the original author recommended learning about sex by reading a book?

I hope the attractions are self cleaning.

$14.50 for adults and $13.50 for seniors and students? Thats pretty steep.

*sigh

I could find it blinfolded since I was a teenager.

Damn- ignoring that is like trying to drive through the Lincoln Tunnel without paying the toll or driving around the toll booth.
You can, but it'll be a rough ride and you'll have to pay the hard way later.

I'll go, as long as it has Sex Sex Revolution.

Heh... it gives a whole new meaning to the word "Fantasyland"...

*tries to imagine sex park in America*

*laughs*
Okay, when you do that, try not to think of Omaha. Think Hollywood. We've got sex museums, stores, movie theaters, why not a sex park?

I'd go in a sec.

I think the whole idea is just sick.

Hell no, it's great. It's the tacky Brighton Piers upgraded for the 21st Century!

Well in America a "Screamer" means something like that.

A £7m sex theme park, which has no rides
After that I found it hard to take the article seriously ;)

Right, this lambasting males for being crap in bed... Is it just a stereotype? A wild exaggeration, a few "lads" giving all chaps a bad name, or are "most" men rubbish at it?
Enquiring minds need to know ;)

ROFLMFAO!!! God, that's funny! LMAO!

IMHO, if you read a bit and then practice what you read, you can make yourself into what most people would term "a great lover." But you can't scrimp on that practice thang. After all, it's all in the spirit of education, right? :D

Just paying close attention to your partner gives you most, if not all the info you need to perform well.
Indeed. Especially if one of you happens to... respond well and is... noisy...
Also, just talking. Talking about what you like is not only incredibly hot but very helpful and it builds up comfortableness around each other.

I can bet that this'll be the most popular student destination in the history of the UK, and that student unions everywhere will be getting money and people together for it :D

Apparantly, the Tilt-a-Whirl is more than just a fairground ride.

sex Yeah Yeah Yeah!

Shame that wasn't your first post, really.
