Welcome To The Curios

The Curios have been gathered from near and far. They may be common-as-muck or one-of-a-kind. They may be worth a pretty penny or a dime-a-dozen. They may be horrifying, captivating, loathsome, or scintillating.

Whatever the cause of their creation, hopefully they bring enjoyment to someone out there.

Ringo's Erotic Adventures In Paris (Beware: Epic NSFW image post!)

Regular readers of the Curios will know I've recently returned from a European holiday. From the outset, I knew there would be a few destinations from my travels that I would want to share with the Curios readers. I'll post the rest in due time, but for now, please enjoy...

Ringo's Erotic Adventures in Paris!!!

(disclaimer: I should point out that any overtly erotic behaviour that I may or may not have explicitly participated in during my stay in Paris is not documented below. Sorry if you had your hopes up.)

When it came to finding erotica for the Curios, I knew Paris wouldn't let me down. Luckily, I was made aware of the Musée de l'érotisme, in the Pigalle area of Paris.

At only 8 Euro admission, that's 1 Euro for every floor jam-packed full of erotica throughout the ages, and it's definitely well worth the visit.



Yep, just down the street from the Moulin Rouge. In retrospect, I wish we'd taken a closer look at the Moulin Rouge, but this is as close as we got. I think I was just too excited about finding the Musée...



The Pigalle is also the main red light district of Paris. Every second store is a sex shop. This photo alone puts the 'red light district' of Adelaide, South Australia, to shame.









This grumpy naked chap welcomes you to the Musée.

Paris By Night
A Tour of the Capital's Gay Pleasure Haunts

By Jacques Robert
Translated by Stephanie and Richard Sutton
1959

Probably the best tour guide book ever printed? Absolutely riddled with bawdy entendre and sly bon mots, this book teaches gentlemen and ladies of easy leisure whereabouts to wander for a salacious but good-natured night on the town.

Before we get to the photos, I feel maybe I should let you in on a secret Robert shares in his book: the 'women' of the Carousel are not quite as they seem...
