Sex museums in Asia are becoming more popular as the population begins to open up and talk about sex-related issues. Such museums are mainly focused on documenting the history of erotica with displays, sculptures, paintings, figurines, carvings, photographs, etc. Most of them are also aimed at educating the people about the dangers of sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs).

Here is a compilation of the sex museums in Asia that will amaze you…

China Sex Museum (Tongli, Suzhou)

The China Sex Museum is situated in Tongli, Suzhou. Founded by Liu Dalin, it showcases a huge collection of ceramic, bronze and rock sculptures depicting the erotic art in ancient China. There are 3,700 art pieces that provide a chronological insight into the various phases of human sexuality and natural desires in the past 6,000 years of China’s sexual history.

The exhibition comprises various categories including the evolution of sex, the worship of sex, erotica, sexual health, sex and religion, sexual oppression of women, sex accessories, and marriage customs.

Hihokan (Japan)

Sex museums in Japan are called Hihokan, which means ‘House of Hidden Treasures’. They are located near Japan’s hot spring resorts in towns such as Sapporo, Atami and Beppu. Such museums, devoted mainly to sex, are popular with tourists and young couples.

Hihokan first became popular in 1971. They are still around today – some of them have remained practically unchanged for more than 30 years. Most of them display human mannequins in various sexual engagements.

This Japanese beauty, striking an erotic pose, has definitely made heads turn.

Displays on erotic art, human mannequins (such as this) and historical sexual aids aim to document the history of erotica in Japan.

Antarang (Mumbai, India)

Antarang (meaning intimate in Hindi) is a museum which aims to raise the understanding of sex and the awareness of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It houses nude statues, models of ancient sex goddesses from 1500-1000 BC, illustrations of a red light district in Mumbai and models of the human anatomy.

Verses from Kama Sutra (the ancient Indian text on sex) can be found on the walls of the museum. A section of the museum is focused on educating the public about the dangers of Aids. The Warli painting style, which is used to relate folk stories between men and women, is another highlight of the museum.

Here is a painting of an Indian couple in a passionate embrace. It takes skill to master the art of love.

The Antarang is focused on the rich heritage of erotic art and sexual history.
