Largest Collection
The Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality (a fully accredited graduate school, let me assure you) holds the largest ****ography collection ever. The institute is packed, floor to ceiling, with sundry erogenous wares: erotic posters, dirty playing cards, 80,000 books, and at least 150,000 films—enough to fill eight warehouses throughout San Francisco. Ted McIlvenna, founder and president of the institute, has been trying to unload the collection on some archive for years, and has since been turned down by the Library of Congress.

Runner ups: the Kinsey Institute possesses the second largest library of erotica in the world, comprised of 12,000 books, 50,000 photographs, 25,000 pieces of flat art, 3,700 films and 1,300 art objects. The British Museum in London once held 20,000 volumes in its famous "Private Case" collection, but theft, vandalism, and other causes have reduced it to somewhere between 1,800 and 5,000 volumes.
