Chinese company鈥檚 sex dolls no longer for sharing
Print Edition
Rentable sex dolls have been yanked off the market in China and the firm responsible for them has apologized, just days after the 鈥渟hared girlfriends鈥 began strutting their silicon stuff.
In a statement, Chinese sex-products retailer Touch said yesterday that it 鈥渨ill actively explore healthier and more harmonious ways to diversify people鈥檚 sex lives.鈥
The firm, which launched the service last Thursday in Beijing on a trial basis, was fined by police and ordered to cease promotional activities, the Beijing News reported.
鈥淲e are sorry to announce that Touch will suspend the operation of the shared girlfriend project,鈥 the company, based in the southeastern city of Xiamen, said.
鈥淥ur intention was for more people to experience erotic fun,鈥 the statement added.
鈥淏ut not long after the project went online it got attention from society and caused heated discussion. After we got a notice from relevant authorities, we actively cooperated with all investigations and accepted punishment.
鈥淲e express our deepest apology for the bad influence the shared girlfriend had on society.鈥
Touch offered for rent life-sized sex dolls that were supposedly of Chinese, Russian and Korean women, as well as an Amazon-like 鈥淲onder Woman鈥 complete with a sword and shield.
Like many of China鈥檚 shared-economy products, the silicon seductresses could be reserved via a phone app for up to a week at a time. Clients could even have their date 鈥渨armed up鈥 before delivery and, for an extra fee, have them equipped with a device that made sounds when handled.
They were available for short-term companionship starting at 298 yuan (US$45) per night.
The country has gone sharing-mad in recent months with bicycles, umbrellas and basketballs all available for rent.
