Paying to become 'like a virgin' in China
MSNBC - Despite the gradual liberalization of attitudes towards pre-marital sex in China, as well as rampant prostitution and Internet pornography – a woman’s virginity is still highly valued by many men here, especially in rural areas.
So what’s a girl trying to disguise her past sexual experience to do?
Pretend to be a virgin.
Search the words “artificial hymen” on Google in Chinese, and you’ll get seven million results. Search “Joan of Arc Red,” and you’ll get over a million results – it’s the biggest selling brand in China’s growing fake hymen market.
Try to appear ‘shy’ for 'a better effect'
A young woman looking for a solution to her awkward problem can simply log onto the website www.xuexing.org and pay $18.40 for two fake hymens nicely packed in a wooden box. For $14.40, the same products come simply wrapped in a paper box.
The website says the goods were first invented in Japan in 1993 and then became popular in Thailand, followed by the rest of Southeast Asia before eventually making their way to the Middle East. According to the instructions, the little piece of semitransparent tissue has no side effects and is made of a natural fibrin glue, a medical elastic substance, a soluble base and carboxymethocel. “After you put this into the vagina, it’ll dissolve and expand. Have sex in about 20 to 30 minutes, and you’ll ‘bleed’,” explains the instructions. “A better effect will be reached if you appear to be shy and in pain...”
Wow. I kind of figured just about every chick I ever had sex with was faking orgasms, but now you can fake that it's your first time, too? How many possible ways do women have of screwin' with our brains? There's probably nothing that they say or do that's based on reality. I guess it all started centuries ago when some ugly heifer first put on makeup and fooled dudes into thinkin' she was pretty. Then came stuffed bras. Then butt-enhancing underwear, then cleavage tape, etc. Dear God, when will it end? From now on I'm callin' bullshit on every moment of every woman's life. Except the wifey of course, who I know is the only exception on the planet. Or maybe not....Shit!
