How About a Condom to Go With That?

I've had a hankering for years to learn how to do origami. Something about pieces of brightly colored paper folded carefully into delicate and interesting shapes fascinates me. Ever had someone fold a dollar bill into a ring for you when you were young? I did. I think my fascination was born then. I remember wanting to take it apart to see how it was created but being afraid I would not be able to put it back together.

I want to learn how to create little animals and other such things, small silly items that delight for a bit but which then can be tossed away without guilt. I went searching for a book to teach me. Imagine my surprise when I came across Pornogami: A Guide to the Ancient Art of Paper-Folding for Adults. Amazon Dot Com declares it's "better together" with Very Naughty Origami.

Who knew there was a market for teaching folks how to fold individual origami sperm! Or better yet, how about an origami penis? Think of the uses for one of those! Um. Well. Outside of a potentially entertaining conversation piece, I can't think of many uses for a tiny origami penis. Interestingly enough, "Pornogami" also teaches how to fold a tiny paper condom. The condom lesson comes right before the lesson on creating an origami vagina. I kid you not.

Safe sex is paramount, even with small brightly colored paper genitalia.

There's a craft idea Martha hasn't thought of, and even in time for Valentine's Day!
Thanks!
