The Third Section
features the museum's "Permanent Collection." It covers many aspects of human sexuality, but the vast majority of items reflect America's changing attitudes about sex and sexuality over the last 250 years.

The collection features Sex Education, Sex in Advertising and American Technology, Photography, Books, Sex Exhibits, and Sexual Paraphernalia.
