We, of course, have the Kinsey Institute here at Indiana University.  The
institute holds a vast collection of sex-related objects, photos,
publication, etc.  Last year, they exhibited a variety of these materials
in our Fine Arts Gallery.  I am certain that the thought and planning that
went into that exhibit would be helpful to you.  The contact
information for the Curator at Kinsey is as follows:

Jennifer Pearson Yamashiro
Morrison Hall 233
Bloomington, IN 47405
812-855-7686
