Made To Order Sex Dolls Available In Japan (Photo : Getty Images)
Because Morocco is a conservative Muslim country, when rumors spread on social media that the Chinese section of a market is reportedly selling inflatable sex doll, the police immediately held a raid.
However, the raid yielded no sex dolls in Derb Omar, a wholesale market in Casablanca, reported Agence France-Press.
Prior to the raid, Asabah, an Arabic-language newspaper in Morocco, was one of two local dailies that published full-page stories on the rumors. Asabah’s headline was: “Sex dolls invade the markets.”
The report said uniformed and plainclothes officers raided the market’s Chinese section. Police said there were mannequins in clothes shop windows, but these are not sex dolls which could have been the source of the rumors.
The raid angered and amused Moroccans. Among the bold reactions to the incident was a demand by some women, posted on Facebook, for male sex dolls too. Sex dolls are included in Morocco’s definition of pornographic materials which are banned from being produced, diffused, published, imported, exported, exposed, sold or possessed.
One reason likely behind the rumor is that in China, the market for sex dolls is booming and valued at 100 billion as a growing number of widowers, divorced and single men buy it despite the steep price.
