KOKIGAMI: The Japanese Art of Penis Decoration

File under: The Japanese are *even stranger* than you'd imagined.
I posted something about KOKIGAMI about a over a year ago,
with this link:

Here's the intro:
"In days of yore, Japanese men of the upper classes would wrap their
penises in layers of cloth before going to bed with their
wives and
mistresses. This was because the more complex a man could make his
wrapping, the longer his wife might take to unwrap that "gift" --
thereby prolonging the pleasure. Out of this subtle and creative
foreplay, kokigami, the art of paper penis costumes, was born."
but since then I've discovered this book... and besides there
are new people here to share this cultural oddity with.
Can you *imagine* dressing up dick in little cut-out paper costumes?

KOKIGAMI
Book Review
by Monica Drake
Kokigami: Performance Enhancing Adornments for the
Adventurous Man
Burton Silver and Heather Busch
(Ten Speed Press)
It's a book of paper dolls for the penis, based on an ancient
Japanese practice. There's a dancing squid, a bull dog, a
speedy little sports car, a happy-faced pig called
"Buta," who
"likes to root about in the soft earth with his pink nose."
Each penis-mask comes with its own suggested dialogue
and dance: "Oink! Oink! How about a bit of juicy swill?"
Move the hips in short thrusts. Grunt enticingly. Emit a
squeal. "Here Piggy Wiggy! Lots of lovely warm slops just
for you!"
Nippon Slip-on. Art Dicko. Sex therapist Dr. Mary Scrott
calls Kokigami "a most ingenious method of heightening the
enjoyment of the sex act by putting the participants in touch
with their inner sexual fantasies."
Particularly if your fantasy involves a wild-eyed, big-toothed
paper horse head, a locomotive, or a rooster. This, she says,
is a "highly sophisticated method of increasing sexual
enjoyment."
Kokigami originates in the male-dominated sexual history of
Japan, though the book is marketed in the female-dominated
book sales world of the US. Women buy and read more
books than men. The introduction is aimed to entice women
to lead men into art of paper penis decoration: gift
wrap the
book and hide it under your partner's pillow, keep the
lighting low, and don't laugh when it comes time to measure
the penis for it's paper doll fitting. "If your partner
is small in
that department its important to reassure him by
downplaying the role of size." Not exactly new
information.
In an insightful passage about the sexual psyche, Scrott says
Kokigami "allows the mind to get more deeply in touch with
the male sexual center by pretending it is something else."
This comes from an Asian tradition of oblique rather than
direct approach. "By slipping a paper sculpture of an anima
lover over his organ...It instantly becomes far more
than a
rather odd piece of blood-engorged flesh with a mind of its
own. It is given a new personality, making the organ much
easier to relate to and therefore easier to understand and
control."
