South Korea Scraps Ban on Imported Sex Dolls

It looks like people who like to get their freak on with sex dolls in South Korea will soon have more variety to choose from:

The government’s latest decision to scrap a ban on imports of life-size sex dolls has reignited debates on sex doll experience cafes where customers pay money to enjoy the products in a private space. 

The Korea Customs Service announced on Monday it will lift the ban on the import of complete-bodied sex dolls, ending a years-long dispute with importers of the products. Although there are currently no laws specifically prohibiting the import of sex dolls, customs authorities had been seizing most of them, citing a clause that bans the import of goods that may harm public morals.

The customs agency’s move came after a series of court rulings sided with the importers by saying that the use of sex dolls should be left to individual discretion. The authorities, however, stressed that child-like sex dolls and those resembling certain people will continue to be banned.

The lifting of import bans came as good news to owners of sex doll experience shops that have been increasing here in recent years. These shops offer customers a chance to enjoy the sex dolls at a private place. Now that the import ban is lifted, the shops will be able to provide their clients with more product options, not limited to domestically manufactured ones.

But the operation of such businesses in Korea is still in a legal gray zone, with opponents describing them as a “new form of sex trafficking.”

Ironically, most of those “dolls” are made in the PRC.

If this is one of the current government’s actions to mend ties with the PRC, it sure is a weird way to do it.

Also, kind of surprising considering that the PPP are mostly supported by the Christian right and would frown on those products.

Most actual conservatives don’t want the government snooping in anyone’s bedrooms, even if they have weird masterbation fetishes.

Most actual Christians remember that Jesus sent us into the world to preach the Gospel, not to establish some new law to regulate other people.

Are there undercover fascists and pharisees in every organization? Yes. Because Romans 3:23. But we push Romans 6:23 and encourage people to Romans 10:13.

Meanwhile, if someone wants to play with dolls in the privacy of their own home, I would rather not know.

I mean, I really don’t care if someone has different sins than me in private. I will speak against communists because they tend to murder a lot of people…
