Very Naughty Origami [Hardcover]

Book Description

Publication Date: October 15, 2004

Who knew that an innocent piece of paper could be so erotic after a few well-placed folds? Anyone who thought of origami as child's play is in for a surprise with this funny and entertaining book that goes where no other origami books have gone before. Combining the ancient Japanese art of origami with humor and sex, each project transforms an average piece of chaste, virgin paper into something both artistic and enticing. Anyone can go from making simple airplanes to whipping up giant sperms and novelty boobs with simple and evocative line-drawings, easy-to-follow instructions, and color photographs of the finished art. Each project is also accompanied by amusing tales of the inspiration behind it, like "Randy Rabbits," which was inspired by the popular phrase about the legendary insatiable sexual appetite of rabbits.
Other humorous and sexy projects include:
o Coupling-Miniature human figures you can arrange any way you like to act out the Kama Sutra or a big, fat orgy.
o Schwanstucker-A surprisingly accurate and anatomically correct recreation of the penis, fully movable with a gentle squeeze.
o Where's the Magic Bean?-A handy little helper that can guide any man to the land of the unknown called the clitoris.
This is the perfect book for origami enthusiasts in search of new and unusual projects, couples looking for fun and exciting games, jokesters looking for odd and entertaining party tricks, or anyone who can appreciate naughty arts and crafts.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a fun book of unusual origami! :), October 1, 2004

VNO is a delightful book and well worth collecting for any lover of paperfolding who also enjoys novelty folds. The diagrams are very clear and models are at an accessible skill level, making them ideal for beginners to the art of origami and easily memorized so you can amaze your friends next time you're at a party, flirting with a pretty partner, or just out enjoying a pint. While at first glance, the more puritanically minded might recoil or take offense at the subject matter of the book, Nick Robinson also engages the reader with an entertaining history of Naughty Origami. In addition each fold is prefaced with an enjoyable discussion of the model - including trivia, history, suggestions for folding and suitable display scenarios. This is one of the few books on my shelf that is as much fun to read through as it is to fold from.

I am a complete & total beginner at origami, I was able to make almost all of the figures after a couple of tries each. The text was also quite amusing, the instructions are pretty clear.

I also bought Pornogami. Those figures are much harder to make, after doing most of the ones in Very Naughty Origami a couple of times I was able to make several from Pornogami.

In general the figures in Pornogami are more complex, elaborate, erotic, and more difficult and more time consuming to make.

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

This review is from: Very Naughty Origami (Hardcover)

The whole idea of sexy or objectional origami is lost in the general origami culture. This book preserves a lot of art that was otherwise extremely hard to come by - and most of it is elegant and interesting. I think the models from this book should be displayed at conventions and discussed in origami gatherings, just the same as any other model. But sadly, it seems most people regard origami as something for small children who should not know anything about sex. So, merely bringing up the existence of models such as those depicted in this book is enough to enrage many people. It's very nice to see books coming out on this subject at long last. Hopefully people will learn to relax and enjoy harmless little models like these.
