Comments
Tracey Cox, a sex and relationship expert, said, "You can walk in to that place knowing nothing about relationships or sex and come out pretty much knowing everything there is to know, and able to go and have a very satisfying relationship."[4]
Dr. Sarah Brewer, director of exhibits at the exhibition said: "The British have been very reserved about sex but are now more open than they have ever been."[3]
Sex therapist Anne Hooper said: "London has needed a public centre for sex information for many years. It’s no coincidence that only now, in 2007, we can be open and frank enough for such an institution to be acceptable."[5]
Kevan Wylie, General Secretary of the European Federation of Sexology commented: "I am pleased to support the launch of Amora. Anything that helps people to have the confidence to share ideas, desires and wishes with their partners must be welcomed and encouraged.[6]
