I found this book while taking care of other details at work and found myself highly amused and extremely fascinated by the details that went into this particular art.
One has to have a bit of a sense of humour regarding a few of the things created in this book and some patience when attempting to make them.
I found that the directions were not that clear nor concise but the photographs/pictures were helpful when trying to figure out what the next step might be.
Also make sure to use a piece of paper that has some weight to it; even if you do not have any origami paper when you attempt some of the projects.
A hilarious book and project to bring out at parties!

It's not the easiest for the novice origami person (i.e., me), but the folks I bought it for who are origami gurus found it hysterical and fun. My new bar trick is making a winky out of a dollar bill because of this book.

I am a complete & total beginner at origami, I found many of these hard or impossible to make.

I also bought 'Naughty Origami' which generally has easier figures - I was able to make almost all of them after a couple of tries each, after doing them I was able to make a few of the figures from Pornogami.

The figures in this book are generally more 'interesting'.

The origami were very well received by men and women alike at an adults only party.

I think this is great fun and a super gift for the origami nut in the family, or someone who love Japanese culture but still retains a sense of humor.

I did some of the bill folds with my tip money at a NYC bar, and they were a big hit and my drinks got better too.

If only for the smile value, it's worth it. But I think it has a lot more going for it. Check out Sugoi's other books too. This guy seems to have a quirky sense of humor with another book titled, "Origami for Retards."

Low in Brow, High in Fun!

I bought 5 of these to give a birthday gifts. Everyone has loved them.

I gave it as a xmas gift and it made a few jaws drop and brought on lots of laughter . A+

i wouldn't recomend this other than a gag gift. the instructions are really difficult and hard to follow. otherwise its funny.

This is a fun book to learn how to make fun shapes. If you repeat the shape 7 times you'll never forget how to make it.

saw this at a bookstore at the full price and thought it would make a great gift. found it on amazon at an excellent price!

I have not MADE any of these - but the book is very interesting to look at. It really is not "porn" My daughter accidentally saw the cover and did not even know what it was!!

Great adult conversation book!! Would make a great party game also.
