A recent visit to Manhattan's legendary Museum of Sex yielded more than a mob of 18-year-old girls giggling in the foyer – it provided an entertaining and educated look into the history of sex.

Here are some little-known sex facts that may surprise you – or at least give you ammunition for a fascinating dinner conversation!

2Say cheese!

Semen contains zinc and calcium, both of which are proven to prevent tooth decay.

3Hop to it

The iconic "Rabbit" is renowned for two things: excellent orgasm results and an odd smiley face on its tip. Women's Health tells us the smiley face was actually a result of conservative Japanese customs.

Hitting the gym is important to have a healthy sex life. You can't enjoy different positions if you are not agile enough.

Actually, number 10 isn't a lie. It became illegal just recently and they're still working on shutting the stores down. I do Slumber Parties and our distributors have been fighting this issue for the last few years. We label everything as "novelty use only" just for this reason, but in some towns, they still make things very rough for us! We've squeeked by because we conduct our shows in the privacy of our hostesses' home.
