China has a serious imbalance between the sexes. Some scholars have estimated that there will be 30 million single men aged 35 to 59 in China by 2050, and the sex toy market is full of business opportunities.
Li yinhe, a Chinese sociologist, has argued that buying sex robots in China is as common as buying home appliances.
By 2020, there will be about 15 million Chinese men aged 35 to 59 unable to find wives; By 2050, that number will climb to 30 million. Zhai zhenwu, director of the population and development research center at renmin university of China and President of the China population society, said there will be 30 million more marriageable men than women in China in the next 30 years.
Notably, a study released by 360buy in the middle of last year showed that the market value of adult products in China is expected to reach $9 billion (about 63 billion yuan) by 2020.
Li yinhe said virtual sex is a new invention in the era of artificial intelligence, as well as the era of AIDS, the cleanest and safest sex.
She also notes that by 2050, sex robots will account for 50 percent of all human sex. It’s a very interesting prospect. By that time, there were between 30 and 40 million more men of working age in China, Ms. Li said. “they will never find a wife. If sex robots or virtual sex can solve part of the problem, this is one way out.
Now, she says, China is also producing sex robots that “can do housework, chat with you and probably have sex for just over 20,000 yuan (RMB), with the most basic products costing just a few thousand yuan”.
“So I think buying a sex robot should soon be as easy as buying a home appliance and affordable.”
Although the Chinese government has made strict regulations on the sex industry, it is difficult for the sex industry in China to explode. But the law will not be able to overcome the “great desire” of hundreds of millions of people. China’s leading adult doll maker, gold three dolls, based in guangdong province, launched an ai sex doll as early as the end of 2016, Reuters reported. The price per unit is from 5000 to 7000 RMB.
In 2017, the “golden three dolls” also received an average of about 3,000 domestic orders per year, accounting for 20 percent of the total sales. It shows that the Chinese are slowly waking up to the proposition of pleasing themselves and are not stingy.
According to a BBC analysis, India and China are the fastest-growing markets for adult products.
Cool! Cool! China and India!
