SAKANA: The Fish
       

Letters and suggestions from Kokigami enthusiasts

I like my husband wearing the Squid Koki most of all but there's good news and bad news on the squid front that your readers might like to know about. The good news is that when he's wearing it in front of our large tropical fish tank, all the fish are attracted to its quivering tentacles and crowd around for a few minutes to take a look. My sister and I find this absolutely hilarious. As an aside, did you know that fish love to eat sperm?. The bad news is that it's not just fish that are attracted to the squid. Three months ago, the dancing tentacles were just too much for our cat Big Boy, who took a swipe at it with claws extended. Fortunately for him (and me) the cat didn't make contact, and Ralph couldn't get it off fast enough.

Kokis make an attractive mobile above the bed and they're always ready for use.

Try this. A puff or two of flower scented perfume on the Rose Koki makes it just so much more exciting. Quick little wafting movements with the back of the hand adds a flickering fragility to the moment and disperses the floral potency around to entrap your hovering lover. Be careful of using it in the Garden if bees are about!
Tony, Essex


...when Arnold wears the fire engine with the ladder extended, it comes up so high he can blow on it and make it sort of quiver...and I find it really gets me going.

As a life-long sufferer of phallaphobia I wish to congratulate you on your book Kokigami. I am not alone in my fear of the penis. In fact it has been so prevalent in my circle of friends that I even saw fit to form a support group. But your book as been both enlightening and liberating. By dressing our partners' organs in your costumes we were able to reframe our fears and develop new levels of intimacy that had otherwise been impossible. You will never know how grateful we are. Thank you for sharing this love-making art with us, and for helping us to become more fulfilled as women, partners and people.
Frieda, Vancouver


...we've made up all the kokis and have them arranged in a big wooden bowl my grandmother gave us for our wedding. She'd probably roll over in her grave if she knew what we use it for but they look really attractive and the kids like to play with them as finger puppets.
Melissa, Santa Rosa.


One of the old Japanese illustrations in your book shows a man with a long top knot. You make no mention of it in the text so I wonder if you know that Japanese men in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries developed these tightly woven shafts of hair stiffened with bamboo as phallic substitutes. These top knots could also be used by their partners as a handle to hold the head and firmly guide it to the desired area during oral intimacies.

Kokigami has really helped me to free up. When I saw Trevor with the Moth on, it looked just like a man with a moustache which gave me the idea of brushing my lower hairs out to the side and twirling the ends so that I had a moustache too. He just loves it.

While I enjoyed the concept of Kokigami I found that most of the characters in the book were off-putting. I wanted to share a new dimension of romance and love-making with my husband. But he seemed to grow another leg, as it were, when he donned the bulldog or the pig and especially the private investigator. Instead of entering into a gentle teasing performance he became aggressive and frightening. He even went as far as insisting on a body search. What he was looking for I'm not sure. But it certainly wasn't love. Have you considered re-releasing the book with more passive images such as swans or flamingos or peacocks?
Janice, Delaware


Love the book, but I have to say that until viagra came along my performance was a little, how shall I put it, abbreviated. No question about the merits of theatrical fore-play. Trouble was, though, I usually had to skip several key scenes and cut straight to the climax. As you can imagine my wife was none too pleased. Apart from the fact that I didn't even get to the big shoot-out sometimes, it was creating a bit of a wear-and-tear problem. But now with the big V I can really work on my improv skills. If I do say so myself I've become the Robin Williams of the boudoir (as in the Bicentennial Man not Mrs Doubtfire)! Thanks you two.
Stanley, Hong Kong


Kokigami has really made us think about our narrow moral codes. Like, we're not allowed to walk around in the nude and must wear clothes. Ok, but what if you walk around with your dick out and it's wearing a koki. I bet that's not ok, especially here in Kansas!
Tom, Kansas City


Thanks so much for your contribution to the world of erotica. Not only does it add a novel element to my marriage but it's also made me far more aware of my wife as an individual. Your kokis have brought out the sexual animal in her - a beast which has obviously been lying dormant for years. Either that or our regular pool guy has moved out of town! Just kiddin' (I hope). I would like to warn folks out there though, that it pays to know before hand what your honey likes and doesn't. It turned out that Kate (my wife) suffered a traumatic experience with a squid when she was holidaying by the sea as a child. The sight of me armed with a bunch of quivering tentacles sent her into a spin that only therapy and the gentle touch of the moth koki have been able to rectify. Still, your book is a gas. Keep it up, you guys. Ha ha.
Vern, Florida


Congrats on Kokigami. At first my partner and I thought it was a joke but then realized that we were actually having fun with it. But this was short-lived. We've become frustrated at the incompatability of most of your characters. Was your book only devised for heteros? If not, I don't think you've thought the whole thing through well enough. I mean, we might be queer but contrary to popular opinion, we do have morals and even we don't think the union of a bulldog and a pig is particularly appealing, or palatable. What we'd like is to have companion pieces for each character. The fish could have a net, the moth a flame, the fire-engine a bushfire etc. Just a thought. Don't get us wrong. We adore the book. But give us more!
Johnny, New York
