Why adult products are hot, affected by regulations and "leftover men"
What to do if I can't find my wife? Inflatable dolls to help! Under the influence of many years of family planning policies and the traditional patriarchal conception, the proportion of male to female in China's population is currently seriously imbalanced. However, this imbalance has greatly promoted the development of a special manufacturing industry-sex toys.
I walked past my factory leisurely, with a look of joy. The young entrepreneur waved his hand and said to his employees, "Although there are still many people who can't let go, our business is booming." At this time, workers on the assembly line are producing and assembling the company's core product, sex dolls.
In China today, there are millions of men who cannot find their wives. "This is a patriarchal society," Li Yinhe, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a famous sociologist, told Deutsche News Agency. Many families tend to have sons in order to continue the incense in succession. Many pregnant women are found to be girls during pregnancy tests and have opted for abortion-although sex-selective abortions are explicitly prohibited.
The "leftover men" in China
Strict family planning policies and cheap B-ultrasounds have worsened the problem. According to the Beijing Family Planning Commission, 30 million Chinese men between the ages of 20 and 45 will be "left over" by 2020. In this situation, the criminal activities of trafficking in women are repeatedly banned, and many young girls are trafficked to lonely bachelors in remote areas. Women who cannot marry in neighboring countries have also come to China to try their luck, hoping to catch golden turtles.
China has thus fallen into a strange paradox: on the one hand, the government prohibits pornography and prostitution; on the other hand, the government's family planning policy has led to a continuous increase in the proportion of men, providing fertile ground for the sex toy industry.
How to find an outlet for desire? "The absence of a wife does not mean that there is no sexual desire. At this time, our products are put to use", said the factory owner Xu Guangshi. He is 31 years old and has a collar on his polo shirt. His factory can produce 10,000 inflatable dolls per month, and the cheapest doll costs only 150 yuan.
In the next building, a worker is making inflatable doll heads. The owner Xu Guangshi picked up one of them and introduced: "Some people like white skin, some people like wheat skin color. We can do anything, of course, special customization requires extra money." He said that inflatable dolls can also be made plump. Yes, it costs about 160 yuan. Why has the Chinese government, which has always banned pornography, given such a loose environment for the development of sex toy manufacturing? Xu Guangshi thinks this is not difficult to understand. He said his product echoed the family planning policy, "making love to inflatable dolls does not require contraception and will not be infected with sexually transmitted diseases."
In fact, sex toys are often sold together with contraceptives, and sex toys are also officially regarded as a family planning product.
An increasingly open Chinese society
Today's Chinese society is becoming more open to sex. "A lot of women buy inflatable dolls for their husbands," Xu Guangshi said. He said that many women now buy sex toys for their husbands during pregnancy, which was hard to imagine in previous years.
The hawkers selling adult products on Dandang Street are called "adult product stores" in China, and they can be described as "a special scenery line" in the city. Even in the city centers of first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, these shops are often seen. At present, Xu Guangshi's customers are mainly in Asia, but he plans to export more to Europe in the future. According to statistics from industry experts, most sex toys in the world are currently produced in China.
A recent invention may bring a new breakthrough: 3D printers. Xu Guangshi praised this, saying that with this technology, production will become more accurate.
Whether the prototype is the goddess in your heart or the beloved wife at home, inflatable dolls will be readily available. In addition, Xu Guangshi also thought about how to win the women's market. "If Beckham agrees, we can produce thousands of Beckham inflatable dolls." Only unexpected, not impossible!
