Okay, so, “sex coins.” Yeah, I went there. It all started with a random late-night thought – could I make, like, actual coins with, um, explicit imagery? It sounded ridiculous, and that’s exactly why I had to try.
First, I doodled some designs. Nothing fancy, just stick figures, really. I’m no artist. I wanted to keep it simple, almost like ancient cave paintings, but, you know… spicier.
Next up was figuring out the material. I considered clay, but that seemed too fragile. Then I remembered I had some old metal blanks lying around from a previous, much tamer, project. Perfect!
The Messy Part
This is where things got interesting. I grabbed my Dremel – that little rotary tool thing – and, well, I started carving. It was way harder than I expected. Metal is stubborn! I definitely messed up a few times. Let’s just say some of those early coins looked… anatomically questionable. I won’t be showing those to anyone.
- First attempt: Total disaster. Looked like a melted blob.
- Second attempt: Slightly better, but still… off.
- Third attempt: Finally, something vaguely recognizable!
After a lot of trial and error, and a few near-misses with the Dremel, I managed to create a few coins that were, shall we say, presentable. They were rough, crude, and definitely not something you’d find in a museum, but they were mine. And they were hilarious.
I showed them to a couple of close friends (after warning them, of course). The reactions were priceless. Lots of laughter, some blushing, and a few “WTF, dude?”s. Exactly what I was going for.
So, yeah, that’s the story of my “sex coins” project. It was a silly, messy, and totally pointless endeavor. But it was fun, and it taught me a little bit about metalworking. Would I do it again? Probably not. But I’m glad I did it once. It’s a good story, at least.
