A sex theme park<\/a> (no rides, so to speak) is opening in London’s West End.<\/p>\n

The Academy of Sex and Relationships at the Trocadero in Piccadilly, will pass through seven zones including Pleasure and Orgasm.<\/p>\n

The 10,500sq-ft exhibit is designed to “separate fact from myth and educate everyone into being better lovers”.<\/p>\n

You have to be aged 18 and over to get in and tickets will cost \u00a315 for the attraction which opens on 7 September.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beats the hell out of, “Honey, I Blew Up the Garage, Now What?” (an inside joke for those of us who visited the Tate Modern a few years back).<\/p>\n
