Sex doll sharing is the worst kind of sharing

I don’t mind sharing a bicycle. I’m happy to share an umbrella. But there’s no way on this sweet Earth you’ll persuade me to use a sex doll sharing service.

And yet that is what a Chinese startup has created. Behold:

The app has a variety of plastic partners, with names, nationalities, and vital stats. Santee, for example, is from Greece.

Silicone slamming enthusiasts can rent the dolls on a daily basis for US$45, reports state-owned paper Global Times. A week costs US$200. The returnable deposit is US$1,220.

The app, with a banana as its icon, is called Ta Qu. That sounds like Touch – which indeed appears to be the English name the startup has picked.

The app started out as a community for issues around sex and sexuality back in 2015. Today, inspired by China’s boom in apps for sharing bikes, basketballs, umbrellas, and all manner of other things, it’s also venturing into sex doll sharing.

The app is touting the service as “shared girlfriends,” as seen in this poster today put up on its Weibo account.
