Vibrator Museum Organizers Hope To Create A Buzz

[Odessa78]

San Francisco's newest museum is sure to cause a buzz when it opens April 12 -- because it's devoted to vibrators of the past.

The Antique Vibrator Museum is designed to showcase kinky collectibles from the late 1800s to the 1970s and, in the process, the history of health and sexuality between 1890 and 1970, according to curator and sexologist Carol Queen.

"The new exhibit contextualizes the vibrator's role in society and highlights how our attitudes around sex and female pleasure have evolved," Queen said. "It really gives us an appreciation for how far both society and technology have come."

Wonder if they have a "do not touch" the merchandise sign?

I'm sure there will be plenty of "hands on" exhibits to see, and no doubt many will plunge right into it to what the rush is all about.

The overall thrust of the exhibit will be to find out - or in - where the excitement is all coming from.
