ACCESS MUSEUM
As a member, you have access to the private art galleries listed below:
THE AMERICAS
With the exception of a few tribes, the Americas are not famous for either erotic art or sexual teachings. And so, there are scant offerings from the ancient Native American cultures.
EUROPEAN CLASSICAL EROTICA
Many artists who created erotica did so under fear of prosecution. Though these images may seem tame compared to today's pornography, they were nonetheless strictly forbidden at the time they were created. And so it was not in the best interests of the artist to let their name be known or even the country they were from.
GERMAN EROTICA
Though they are often depicted as a hard working and serious people who do not have much fun , the Germans have enjoyed quite a sensual history. Berlin in the swingin' twenties was one of the more decadent cities on the planet.
OLDE ENGLAND EROTICA
Eighteenth Century England was a heyday for erotic artworks, some of which is famous for using humor as part of the general lechery. For a larger image and detailed information about each piece, please click on the thumbnail. We are pleased to be able to share our collection with you. Enjoy!
BELGIUM & NETHERLANDS
The Netherlands is one of the most laid-back, liberal and tolerant countries in the world. Sex, Drugs and Euthanasia. It's all here. And it's all legal or at the very least, decriminalised.
With all this freedom and permissiveness the funny thing is that society has not broken down. Amsterdam, that den of iniquity, vice and immorality, remains much safer than almost any major American city.
CZECH REPUBLIC EROTICA
With the exception of a few tribes, the Americas are not famous for either erotic art or sexual teachings. And so, there are scant offerings from the ancient Native American cultures.
CLASSICAL GREECE
With the exception of a few tribes, the Americas are not famous for either erotic art or sexual teachings. And so, there are scant offerings from the ancient Native American cultures.
ITALIAN EROTICA
Due to the fact that it is the home of the Vatican and a major centre of Catholic Christianity, Italian erotica in the past often had strong religious overtones . . .
FRENCH EROTICA
With the exception of a few tribes, the Americas are not famous for either erotic art or sexual teachings. And so, there are scant offerings from the ancient Native American cultures.
ISLAMIC EROTICA
With the fires of sexually repressive religious fundamentalism currently sweeping the Muslim world, it is difficult to believe that Islam even has an erotic history. However, decadent harems, shimmering wiggling belly dancers, 1001 Arabian Nights and nubile odalisques are all part of the sensual Islamic past.
BLACK AFRICAN EROTICA
Though the African people are still a very openly sensual race in terms of their music and dance they have absorbed the guilt inspiring sexual ethos of Christianity and Islam whose empires once conquered most of Black Africa.
FAR EASTERN EROTICA
China is yet another example of a great civilization with a deeply sensual past and a rigidly conservative present. The ruling communist party has an attitude towards sexuality that any religious fundamentalist would be proud of.
INDIAN EROTICA
India has a long and noble tradition of liberated sexuality. From the infamous Kama Sutra (1st century AD) to the blatantly sexual temples of Khajuraho (1000 AD), sex was considered an important and highly enjoyable activity.

However, dysfunctional sexuality causes so many other problems in society today.
