A few leads on the topic, courtesy of Bart Bernhardt (who had answered a 
call for ideas on a broader subject for Valentine's Day this year). Kyle 
and people from AE did a show-and-tell for the Commonwealth Club

"- Kyle Machulis is a whip-smart brash software engineer who, on the 
side, blogs about teleldildonics (using haptic and telecommunications 
technology to facilitate long-distance sex), DIY sex toys, and other 
mash-ups of sex and tech. He's really fun. http://slashdong.org/

- Long, long ago, the Exploratorium Biology dept had an exhibit that was 
something like "The Olfaction of Attraction" and had little squeeze 
bottles with human pheromones in them. Depending on your genes and 
gender, you may find the smell either repulsive or attractive.  This 
would make a great interactive station. It's fantastic seeing two 
people, one with a look of disgust and the other with a pleased smile, 
trying to reconcile their different perceptions.

- The Archaeology of Vice. Kari Jones and Liz Clevinger work in the 
archaeology programs at the Presidio of San Francisco. Among the things 
unearthed? Well, the archeological record suggests that, shockingly, 
soldiers stationed there liked sex, based on the wide range of vintage 
porn, prophylactics, and medically-dubious STD cures dug up in the 
Presidio."
