Erotica As A Commodity, Asia Adult Expo

Asia’s Adult Expo returns with the latest in sex toys, gadgets and games. For an expo focused on erotica, the atmosphere is decidedly non-erotic and more hard-core sales.

Erotica is loving the idea of Virtual Reality headsets as games and movies abound looking to exploit the new technology. Pairing VR to the physical allows you to feel or touch a cock or vagina as you watch or participate virtually.

Newly launched is a ‘viagra for women’ called Sharkyo. Developed in China and for Chinese regulatory reasons it’s officially a ‘make-up’ product, the gel is applied internally to the vagina via a plastic applicator and apparently it increases wetness, sensory stimulation and even tightens the vagina walls.

It’s Asia Adult Expo time where China’s sex toy manufacturers showcase their products to stores and buyers from across the globe. The wholesale prices are ridiculously cheap, a stark reminder of the margins involved in much of retail today.

In recent years a lot of creativity, thought, science and manufacturing wizardry has gone into improving and enhancing how we can bring ourselves and our partners pleasure. Although I’m not sure that many of us will be wanting to fiddle with a phone app in the middle of an orgasm… And a first person perspective 3D VR film loses it’s impact when as is legally required in Japan genitals are pixelated out.

At any other product expo, visitors to the show would be touching, examining the products to check for quality, design… Yet still society’s taboo on pleasuring ourselves and others exerts it’s influence with most visitors discretely looking from outside a booth rather than stepping in as they would with other product expos.

If you don’t fancy a visit to sex store but want to improve your sex life most of the manufacturers have websites where you can buy direct through Alibaba.
