We had nothing better to do at the weekend so a group of us went over to the 6th annual China International Adult Toys and Reproductive Health Exhibition, (basically an enormous photo opportunity). It was on show at the International Exhibition Hall (INTEX) in Hongqiao and was relatively small, I’m guessing 30 to 40 stands ranging from incredible designs (some of them looked downright alien) to the lowest quality you could imagine, here are some highlights:
The state of the art in inflatable adult companions, if it wasn’t for the valve you’d really have trouble guessing that these were not just adult models standing very still.
As you walked into the exhibition hall one of the stands was giving out willy lollipops (candies for you americans), back in the UK a guy wouldn’t be seen dead walking around with one of these, let alone putting one in his mouth.
Some of the sex toys were downright weird though, they had these enormous moulded jelly-like women which left me wondering where on earth you put them, you’d need a wooden chest to hide them away. Anyway, their names prompted much amusement:
But some of them were downright weird:
Well, it was an amusing hour or so while we were there but it seemed like more than half of the crowd were guys with cameras just there to take pics, they must do good business though, the show’s in its sixth year now!

i wonder how drew barrymore feels about her likeness being used to peddle “captain stabbing”?
Dingle – Did you bring me back some lollipops? Can’t wait to get my lips round one of those tasty treats!
Angie – The pink wrinkly thing opposite Drew looks a bit like E.T. as well. So much for intellectual property rights in China!
So did you purchase anything for those business trips away from home?
Angie, I hear that she invented it, you know, like Paul Newman with that salad dressing.
Woai, yeah funnily enough we didn’t, we figured you’d probably got plenty already
Wiggy, there’s literally not enough space in my apartment for another inflatable doll, you can barely squeeze into the house, they’re piled up to the ceiling.
For purely research, did you find out how much those top left picture dolls selling for?
CK1 I can sell you a slightly used one for 300rmb
It looks like she’s bound to the black sofa so I assume it comes with the sofa? Can she be detached from it for when I have guests and need to use it as an actual sofa? 300 rmb sounds about right. Which part has been used?
If you don’t rinse it out I’ll give you 350RMB
CK1, if you can match Swiss’s offer it’s all yours, sounds like you have a potential resale to Swiss James too
I think CK1 made it clear it was purely for research purposes, unlike that pervert James who’s obviously put a lot of thought in to how he’s going to use the “companion”.
Dirty Sanchez it and I will give you 400rmb.
Do a who-what to it?
Do those lollies come in Asian sizes?
Colin, do you mean like shoes? I generally buy shoes in UK sizes (can’t get used to this european nonsense), it’s no good asking me.
Dang, I can’t believe I missed this and the pet carnival! I need to keep my finger to the pulse here.
That’s a poor show Nik, about 95% of photographers in Shanghai were at the event!
Dingle I think a dirty sanchez is a bit like a Cleveland steamer. Hope that clears it up for you.
Woai is correct.
