Mexico City's Sex Plaza
» Marketing
Mexico City’s new sex plaza sounds like fun. Naturaly some folks are wildly indignant. The prudes will always be with us, even unto the end of the world. The unenterprising manager of the local Krispy Kreme fears the visitors rather than seeing new people who’ll buy donuts.
Mexico’s Roman Catholic clergy are keeping their mouths shut for fear their condemnation will only prompt more visits.
The mall’s skylights, marble floors and rose-colored walls run counter to the sordid images of traditional sex shops. With more than 100 shops, it feels more like a shopping center than a sex palace.
It has a museum with exhibits about sexual practices around the world and a bookstore that offers sex manuals and children’s books explaining reproduction.
Boutiques sell lingerie, exotic oils and French maid costumes. In the food court, exotic dancers strip to scanty underwear. Instead of after-dinner mints, they hand out condoms.
Opponents say the mall, which will also offer table dancing, live sex shows and XXX-rated movies, will draw prostitution to the colonial street that is just around the corner from the majestic Palace of Fine Arts.
Surely it will boost tourism.
