In reply to Suzanne Fluhr. Haha! There's plenty to do in Amsterdam besides this one!

We might make it to Amsterdam in September. This museum wasn’t on my list of must sees, but now I’ll be absolutely positively sure that it never makes it there. My nickname during my fresh”man” year in college was “The Prude from Philadelphia”. I’m happy to say I’ve evolved some, but not that much!

In reply to Irene S. Levine. There's a museum of torture in Amsterdam too. I suppose if I'm going to be thorough with this series I'll have to check it out! I don't have high hopes.

So bad to waste time in a bad museum. We recently had a similar experience at the Museum of Torture in San Gimignano. I hadn’t thought about writing about it but maybe I will!

In reply to Vicki Winters. Haha! Yes, the prostitution museum was much better, and even Body Worlds.

Totally agree about the museum. It was awful, and I am not a prude my any stretch of the imagination. My father worked for a “marital aid” company and had friends who worked in the industry. For sure the prostitute museum was more informative. I do like the photo of the man holding his coat shut:-)

In reply to Donna Janke. And that's just what I was hoping for and didn't get. I should have known when I saw that it was on Damrak, my least favorite street in Amsterdam. It's lined with fast food places and bars and "coffee shops." All the stuff the stag party groups want.

I certainly won’t be visiting this museum if I get to Amsterdam again. Thanks for warning me. It’s a shame the tone is so adolescent male. There are a lot of issues around sexuality that could be thoughtfully explored.

In reply to Grey World Nomads. Thanks for the compliment, but I disagree! To me it's much more fun to write about something I didn't like. Well, unless it's a sponsored post, in which case I'd try to be a bit more diplomatic!

It’s much more difficult to write about something you disliked than about something you enjoyed. You managed it very well!
