Book recommendation: Pornogami by Master Sugoi: A wonderful book of erotic origami. Some of these models are on the Origami Underground, but many aren't; and the presentation is very nice, with easy-to-follow diagrams of penises, vaginas, breasts, condoms, handcuffs, and more. A great book.

The 1899 Erotic Story Fold

By Tom May

On January 8, 2002 PapaJoe informed the origami mailing list that an 1899 $2.00 bill for sale on Ebay was being represented as a money fold. The seller had a Christmas story to go with the bill which was implausible for numerous reasons. PapaJoe later discovered that the bill was a "bar fold" in which the male and female figures were apparently sharing an erotic moment. Here is a copy of the bill for you to print out and fold:

I have been experimenting with the bill, and I think that it may tell an erotic story. This story may be the product of my own imagination, or it may be something like the way the original folder presented the fold in the saloons of a century or more ago. You be the judge. I hope you find it amusing whether or not you find it credible.

The story begins with our Victorian couple undressing in preparation for the love fest to follow. The bill's denomination might suggest that the gentleman is paying for his pleasure.

It continues as they engage in sex play under the covers.

Finally, our lovers engage in more vigorous sport.

This is last one is PapaJoe's original fold presented as an action model. The action wrinkle was my idea. Here are the diagrams:
