 Europe's first Sex Machines Museum in Prague - Exhibits include S&M bondage racks, electric nipple clips and Victorian anti-masturbation devices. - Prague's city leaders say they would prefer postcard stands for tourist attractions. - While Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid and Amsterdam all have "museums of the erotic", Samuele Nubile who runs the museum says it is unique in concentrating on sex machinery. -"There are sex museums in cities all over Europe," he told the Prague Post. "We wanted to specialize in sex machines, to show people that this also exists." - It has exhibits such as The Throne, a replica of a reclining rocker that once toured brothels in 19th-century France, and was used for "group games". - The museum has made some concessions to critics by removing a window display featuring leather-clad mannequins tied up in a complex system of posts and pulleys, operated by a figure in a latex nun's outfit. - Other displays show mannequins dressed in latex and leather, one wearing a spiked hooded "gimp mask" and another with a face mask with a funnel and tube running into its mouth. - City officials are not keen on their new tourist attraction. Martin Kupka, city hall spokesman, said: "Foreigners might think we just leaped out of the bush."  SEX MACHINE MUSEUM Melantrichova Str., Prague 1 open: daily 10-22 |
