New York Adult Entertainment: Squeezy does it at MoMA
At a recent preview of the show — which also includes a nude performer lying underneath a skeleton and a naked woman perched on a bicycle seat — the idea of squeezing between two naked strangers unsettled most New Yorkers.
“It bothers me a bit,” said Morgan Wolfe, 18, who opted not to walk in between two nude men standing inches apart. Why? “I just have no reason to,” he said.
“They’re too close!” said an older viewer who declined to give his name. “I don’t want to rub up against them!”
“It didn’t feel normal,” said Georgina Rovirosa, 26, an NYU grad student. “I’ve never walked between two naked guys like that before — not in public places.”
