It rolled around just recently that my buddy, famous dirty scribe, kink class teacher M. Christian and I were invited, once again, to Sin in The City, in Las Vegas. Chris and I managed to teach at this convention three years ago, when it was held at the Riviera Hotel and Casino, a mere week before it was torn down. (This is the casino that stands in as the “Tangiers” in the movie Casino). Way back when, we had had a grand old time teaching our dirty writing class, a cupping class and one on alternate bondage. This year we came in to manage the writing class and alt. bondage again, with Chris also managing double duty as one of the judges of the conventions’ International PERSON of Leather Contest.

The famous sex-positive Erotic Heritage Museum consistently honors Larry Flynt and Harry Mohney’s ongoing efforts of exposing corrupt and duplicitous politicians. In the glare of The Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, a mere few steps from the museum’s entrance, the EHM invites Mr. Trump to display his own private tower. In addition to a regular rotation of exhibitions culled from around the world with artifacts dating back to 1500 BCE, Harry Money’s Erotic Heritage Museum also boasts a second floor gallery, performance space, The World’s Largest Sex Bike and a sculpture of a penis entirely done in pennies.

It’s not only gambling and ‘What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas’ that Sin City is all about. How about education of cultural mores? A venerable museum as much exposing as it explores the concepts of sexual rumormongering? We all know that in a political climate where items of clothing as much as Instagram pics can lead to a politician’s career being shaken, stirred and halted, innuendoes, rumor and the supposed actual items of affairs can be the stuff of media blitzkriegs. This season the Erotic Heritage Museum presents a line-up of three exhibits that explore the rumor of political mishaps and sexual hypocrisy, mistresses exploited (or exploiting) and the many rabble rousers, whether the media or a candidate’s opponent, who gain access to legitimate outlets and sources simply because their claims-true or not-are being made against famous political figures.

From 9/10 to 11/10 Erotic Heritage Museum will feature the stunning male nudes of The Verner Degray Photography Exhibition in their Gay Erotica Gallery. The display features 34 pieces in all, just another in the great collection that the EHM houses.

Constance and Eric began this particular erotic side to their work as a simple fine art project which they had both already been conceptualizing and working on for quite a few years before it actually came into existence. This husband/wife wife/husband’s team goal was simple, to create images of explicit sex acts in a way that was both beautiful and, allows the viewer to participate via the blank canvas. Soon, couples (as well as groups and single folks) sought the photographers out to create portraits of their most intimate moments. Through their discretion and ability to make everyone comfortable Eric and Constance have been privileged to work with many wonderful people, creating intensely personal images many of which will never be seen by the public. Eventually this work caught the eye of several agencies and companies and the pair soon found themselves accepting commissioned advertising work. Currently enjoying what they term a ‘perfect trifecta of fine art’-intimate portraiture, and commercial work all within the context of their sex positive philosophy-these two New York artists consider themselves incredibly fortunate and excited to have the opportunity to share their passion for sexual acceptance with the world.
