Most tropical paradises are run by conservative non-Western
governments who do not take kindly to alternative sexual lifestyles.
What I have noticed in my travels is that there are so few tropical
places that would be tolerant of a healing centre where actual sex
takes place.
Many tropical peoples in the world are much more
conservative than their climates would have us believe. It is a peculiar
irony that the colder countries of the North are where the people
tend to be friskier, kinkier and more tolerant of deviations from
the sexual "norm". It is the "frigid" Scandinavians
who are having wild sex in today's world. Whereas the people from
steamy tropical Malaysia, Barbados, Madacascar, or even Tahiti are
all governed by sexually conservative attitudes and political regimes.
And so after living, working (and
playing!) in 33 countries I discovered a great location for the future
World Art Erotica Museum:
Maui, Hawaii.
One of the Paradise destinations of the Tantric community. Many leading
Tantric Sex Therapists call Maui their home. As well, there are many
on the island who choose polyamorous lifestyles.
In a way they are simply continuing a tradition.
Before the Christians came to give them guilt, clothing and sexual
frustration, the islands of Hawaii were the quintessential sensual
Paradise. Scantily clad natives living a life of love without necessarily
being monogamous. Many ancient Hawaiians had more than one lover.
So the tradition is now living on!!
What we would hope to do for visitors to the museum
is show them great erotic art and then also to list the tantric practitioners
and other sensual workers on the island. In other words, we would
like to act as a kind of information resource for sensuality on the
island.
Ideally we would like the museum to be located on
Front Street, Lahaina. Front Street has more art galleries than almost
any other street in the Western Hemisphere so it would be a perfect
place to have a Museum of Erotic Art. In addition, Maui is the Honeymoon
island of the world and Front Street is where every couple simply
has to take a stroll when they are holidaying on Maui.
