Vintage Vibratouch vibrator (Via Antique VibratatorMuseum, http://antiquevibratormuseum.com)

Vibrator museum displays toys that kept grandma happy

4/7/2012

By all means take in Alcatraz and Fisherman's Wharf on your next visit to San Francisco, but do not take the family to the newest tourist attraction: the Antique Vibrator Museum. It opens April 12, and you might not find it on any visitors' map -- it's in the back of the Good Vibrations shop on Polk (heh, heh, heh) Street. Sexologist Carol Queen is the curator and says the display "contextualizes the vibrator's role in society and highlights how our attitudes around sex and female pleasure have evolved." And also if there might be any kitchen uses for some of the devices. Admission is free. If you do go, please, no Coit Tower jokes.
