It caused a furore when it was first debuted in Berlin - but Dr Gunther insists he has received "hundreds" of messages from the UK urging him to bring the exhibit over here.
He said the man and woman were both consenting donors who agreed to be used for the "pose to highlight human reproduction".
Politicians in Germany called for the work to be pulled, branding it "disgusting".
But Von Hagens said it was not meant to be sexually stimulating.
It is not the first time he has sparked controversy. In 2002 he went ahead with the first public autopsy in 170 years in Britain.
