As perceptions of sex become more open, stories related to adult products often emerge as hot topics. Recently, news of the production of 'Working Girl', a movie based on adult products starring actress Cho Yeo-jeong and Clara, attracted attention, and writer Vitamin (real name Lee Ki-ho), who produced and released the adult cartoon 'Melancholy', appeared on a program on an adult entertainment channel. In 2018, recommending adult products to celebrities became an issue.

Also, last month, the Korea Customs Service established a deliberation committee to decide whether to allow import customs clearance of adult products, and decided to allow customs clearance unless it is a product that is seriously against public sentiment, proving a more open social atmosphere.

Suddenly, the reporter became curious about what people around him thought about adult products. As a result of asking acquaintances about their perceptions of adult products and adult product stores, most people responded that 'adult products are needed to satisfy one's sexual desires or to have a satisfactory sex life with a sexual partner', but at the same time, 'adult products are necessary' One response was 'I'm afraid to use the product site or store because of its decadent image.'

Housewife Cha Im-kyung (29) said, “I think adult goods stores are no different from regular stores that deal with daily necessities,” and added, “Foreign stores are cutely decorated like souvenir shops so there is no pressure, whereas Korean stores have provocatively colored windows. “There are many closed places, so I am reluctant to go in,” he said.성인용품

An office worker who requested anonymity said, “I am not very interested in offline stores because I can purchase adult products using Internet sites.”

The reporter visited an adult goods store located in Dongdaemun. As expected, the store located in the here basement was carefully blocked off, making it impossible to visit without permission. As I entered the store, my eyes were distracted by the chaotic arrangement of dolls modeled after the female body, various masturbation products, and condoms. This is because not many people visit offline stores in person, so they are not properly organized.

The store owner said, “Recently, not only professional women, but also young men and women, and couples are looking for a lot of adult products,” and “The most popular items are female masturbation products, as well as thimbles for the male genitals, stamina enhancement rings, condoms, and love gels.” “There are a lot of customers looking for us,” he explained.

On one side of the store, unique products such as devices that stimulate sexual excitement by stimulating the female clitoris and labia minora, blood flow arterial fillers, onaholes with functions such as vibration, contraction, shape change, heat generation, and luminescence added to the shape of the female genitalia, masks, and whips are available. was also seen.

Meanwhile, Internet adult product sites had a much larger variety than offline stores, and the products were diverse and laid out in an attractive manner. The main popular items were ejaculation delay condoms, regular condoms, love gels, male enhancement rings, and breast volume up creams, while pheromone perfume and sexy underwear were also sold. When ordering, the product is delivered quickly and in thorough security packaging.

Adult products are literally products made for adults’ basic sexual rights and self-determination rights. In particular, vibrators (tools that stimulate a woman's genitals through vibration), ejaculation delay condoms, and massage gels can be used as a means of increasing sexual satisfaction between couples. This means that there is no longer a need to blindly perceive this as decadent and negative. However, caution must be exercised as excessive use can have a negative impact on relationships with others or cause addiction. We must not forget that what is more important than pleasure is communication with the other person.
