Sharing economy is quite popular now, such as sharing chargers, sharing bicycles and sharing clothes. But have you ever heard sharing male masturbators?
Yes, the rental of male masturbators, can be billed by the hour, by the day, courier to the home, the experience of the completion of the return, called the new “happy” economy.
In a second-hand male masturbators trading site, there are a variety of equipment, the site's average monthly browsing volume of more than 200k. Touch, a Chinese manufacturer of adult products, has launched an app that allows users to rent realistic male masturbators, and the program received about 2,000 orders on the day it was launched. There are 46k members in r/usedsextoys. Every day, people post used male masturbators. In r/usedsextoys, people also ask Are there places you can go to use those large sex machines?
These figures show that there is a big market for used male masturbators nowadays. But do they really make your wallets happy?
Let's take a look at the prices. Rental prices at Natrl Canada are 149 CAD for one hour, 180 CAD for three hours, or 249 CAD or a full night (about $179 USD). Users of the Chinese manufacturer can rent a love doll for 298 yuan per day (about $40) after paying an 8,000 yuan deposit. A male masturbator on a second-hand trading platform is listed for $50 USD. I checked the price of the same brand new product on shopping platforms for $60 USD. There are also hidden expenses associated with buying used male masturbators. For example, I found that most of the used male masturbators posted in r/usedsextoys require the buyer to cover their own shipping costs.
So it doesn't seem like your wallet is much happier? Well, let's move on and see if your health is happy.
The person in charge of Touch said that “the key parts will be replaced one by one, and can be disassembled and retained after use for repeated use. After recycling, they go through five cleaning processes."” Each doll of Natrl has one person clean it and one person inspect it and sign off on the cleaning,” explains Randy, father of co-founder Conner. A quick scroll on the Natrl Dolls website shows how the dolls are cleaned.
This type of cleaning sounds a bit more reliable. But we don't know if the business is serious about enforcing these standards when it comes to cleaning. Even if the equipment is “professionally cleaned”, bacteria or germs may still be present as there is no control over every aspect of the cleaning.
Moreover, the price of such rentals is generally high, while many people just enjoy the cheapness of used equipment. We can see that it is cheaper to buy used male masturbators from individuals, but do you really believe that they are selling you “brand new” used male masturbators, or “clean” ones? “Male masturbators, especially those made of porous materials such as TPE and silicone, are prone to leaving behind microscopic bacteria or dirt when cleaned. These bacteria can build up over repeated use, increasing the risk of infectious diseases. If the second-hand male masturbators are not thoroughly and professionally cleaned, the user may be exposed to a variety of health threats, including skin allergies, UTIs, mold infections, and other problems. If a previous user had HPV, then you may contract HPV while using used male masturbators.
If I am lucky enough to purchase cheap and clean used male masturbators, will I be happy?
