The Sex issue 2012: A guide to dating and sex in NYC
It's an urban jungle out there, especially when it comes to dating and sex. Here's our annual investigation of the state of mating in NYC.
Mon Oct 1 2012
New York's dating and sex scene is endlessly diverse. If you follow your curiosity down the rabbit hole, there's no telling what you'll find. New Yorkers watch air sex on stage and take blow-job lessons; we go to sex parties and sugar-daddy parties. And, of course, we have a museum dedicated to the deed. Once a year TONY examines the city's seductive, stimulating and scandalous side—and this is what we found.
