The most remarkable change in the adult product market in recent years is the adult goods store located in the middle of a busy street’. The Red container’, which opened in Itaewon in 2017, is representative. This store, run by Cosmos, a wholesaler of adult goods, is decorated in a red container shape and attracts the attention of passersby. Starting with Itaewon, stores were built along the streets of downtown areas such as Myeong-dong, Dongdaemun, Shinchon, Hongdae, Yeonnam-dong, Jamsil Arena, and Sillim, and are now advancing beyond the metropolitan area to local metropolitan areas.
Adult goods stores have also been established in distribution channels operated by large companies. ‘Sense Toy’, an adult product store, opened in Piero Shopping and Electromart, created by Shinsegae E-Mart. As E-Mart recently announced its intention to withdraw Piero Shopper, some stores will disappear, but stores that have entered Electro Mart will continue to operate. Seo Yong-gu, a professor at Sookmyung Women’s University (Faculty of Business Administration), said, “Consumers with a sexual ethical consciousness that are markedly different from the millennials and previous generations are changing their perception of the adult product market.” “There is.” He continued, “It is controversial, but when the era of so-called “sex robots” comes, the adult product market will grow out of control.”
Adult product companies agree that there have been many difficulties until they have the same business conditions. In fact, until the early 2000s, supplies such as self-defense equipment were not even officially imported. Because it was classified as pornography. Mr. A, who is known as the first generation of adult products in Korea, said, “Because it was not an environment that could be officially imported and sold in stores, it was distributed through the voice market, such as selling at inns.” It was ridiculously expensive compared to the quality, and there were great social side effects, such as leading to safety accidents.”
People in the adult products industry constantly fought in court for the import of sex toys, Eventually, it became an environment where legal income for sex toys was possible. In July 2009, the Supreme Court said, “Even though there are aspects reminiscent of sexual organs, the object itself is considered to be contrary to sexual morality by stimulating the sexual desire of the general public, causing sexual excitement or harming normal sexual shame. “I can’t,” he decided to allow import customs clearance. A male masturbator that imitates a woman’s genitals was ruled illegally by the Supreme Court in 2003, but in 2014 the Supreme Court ruled that it did not view it as pornography. Furthermore, in June of last year, the Supreme Court said, “It is difficult to find a legal basis to prohibit the importation of sexual devices for the purpose of private and confidential use of adults.”
This sort of thing goes hand in hand with the notion of enhanced trust. It’s only normal when you know what you want and how to get it, that your feelings of desire for that “it” will increase. A toy can help you learn new things about yourself, just as it can help you get out of a rut. That goes for, by the way, whether or not you’re in a relationship. And if you are, fine, because both of you are going to take advantage of trying something different!
