Despite the apparent humor in a museum devoted solely to bad sex, the curators enact rigorous standards as to what they accept into the MoBS. First, the sex must not just be unpleasant, it must be hilariously, embarrassingly bad, such as one person [[fart|farting]] while the other person is [[rimming]], and neither person laughing afterward to lighten the mood. Second, the sex must be sincere; the MoBS will not accept [[hipsters]] having bad sex ironically.

"Laurie and Edgar in the Field with A Fucking Mountain Goat Staring At Them", used by indie band The New Pornographers for their album cover.
This painting details two lovers who are seconds away from a mood-killing wtf moment. This painting is the first of a series; the sequels are titled "Shoo, You Stupid Goat!", "Goat: Baaaaaaaaahhhh", "Just Go, I Don't Have Any Food For You", and "Sorry, Honey, Let Me Find A Rock So I Can Throw It At It".
Bathroom Sex
This simply-titled piece is one of performance art, where a couple of partly-clothed actors who aren't paid enough act out attempted sexual relations in a bathroom stall, 12 hours a day, 5 days a week, without success. This work of tragedy has been compared to the story of Sisyphus, who was also forced to work for all eternity but who only had to push a boulder around.
Critical Response
Responses have been mostly negative. Roger Ebert refused to call what the museum exhibits "art", banging on the "make text bigger" button on his keyboard to prove his point.
Location
The MoBS is located in the lower level of Your Mom. Admission is $2, not including the student/senior/group discount. Hours are 8am-8pm Mon-Fri, except on her birthday. Free lube is available at the coat check.
