4 days agoThe Marriage Plot From 50,000 Feet Above
A woman eroticizes airplanes, preferring them to people, using aircraft as sexual partners and seeking death in a crash as an ultimate union.
A new exhibit at the Museum of Sex New York seizes on that topic with its exploration of nonconforming, experimental lifestyles and the marks they've left on our society. From now until April 12, 2026, experience history and culture through the lens of American cults and communes at " Utopia: Three Centuries of Sexuality in American Cults and Communes." The two-story show features more than 300 artworks, photographs, films, records, garments and rare artifacts from 20 historical intentional communities.
