Grope shark genitals and more at the Lots of Sex exhibition at Tokyo aquarium

Running at the Sunshine Aquarium in Tokyo until November 27th, the “Lots of Sex Exhibition” (Sei Ippai-ten) is perhaps the most provocatively titled event in the city right now.

Before you get too excited, this night-time exhibition is a fun exploration of copulation of the marine kind.

So if you want to find out — in a pretty hands-on way — about how fish “do it,” then this is the event for you.

Ever wondered how long a barnacle’s cock is? How do seals breed? Learn all this and more.

The whole venue is lit up in pink and purple mood lighting, like it’s some kind of expensive love hotel suite. We suspect the event is, at least in part, inspired by the sex museums of the past and intended to get couples on dates in the mood for the human style of sex. (Sunshine Aquarium is located in Ikebukuro, where there are a lot of actual love hotels.)

In fact, the exhibition even provides visitors with the chance to spy on crabs while they have sex and to cop a feel of a shark’s genitals. The exhibit in question is hidden tastefully inside a black box and we presume is just a replica rather than live, but who knows? The young lady demonstrating the exhibit in the publicity photo certainly looks pleased (or pleasured) by the experience.

And if this is the sort of event that rocks your boat, you can also get a t-shirt and other official merchandise. Because, you know, well, shark sex might make for good street fashion.
