Chinese company Taqu (branded as Touch in English), which was launching a rental service for sex dolls, quickly folded just two days announcing its launch on Thursday. Taqu was attempting to offer customers the chance to rent one of five different types of fully-functional silicone sex dolls for a daily fee of 298 yuan (£34), but apparently attracted the wrong kind of attention from China’s authoritarian government after its pitch of sharing sex toys with hundreds of strangers went viral online.
Touch had begun offering five different sex doll types for daily or longer-term rent on Thursday in Beijing but quickly drew complaints and criticism.
The company said in a statement on Weibo it "sincerely apologised for the negative impact" of the concept.
But the firm stressed sex was "not vulgar" and said it would keep working towards more people enjoying it.
Touch told the BBC the rental service had operated for two days and had garnered a lot of interest and requests.
"We prepared ten dolls for the trial operation," a company spokesperson said via email, adding that they received very positive feedback from users.
"But it's really hard in China," the firm wrote, saying there had been a lot of controversy with the police over the issue.

Sex Doll-Sharing Service Taqu Suspended After Angering Chinese Communist Party
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

The company is sorry and says it will accept the punishment they deserve...
Wonder what that might be...

I've posted before but not much so have no idea where they went, no I never made off with the doll I was like a couple of other blokes there hunting around the single quarters looking for my ex to come home and look after the kid so I could go to work, she ended up pissing off the bloke I was working for, gave the both a good flogging and moved on and yes he paid me but she cost him his company, karma.

Could be a marketing opportunity there Za, a male doll. Wait, you could call it "The Dickie", and could be a winner. Originally Posted by BaitongBoy

Was always doomed to fail, can get a real girl for the day for less than that.Taqu was attempting to offer customers the chance to rent one of five different types of fully-functional silicone sex dolls for a daily fee of 298 yuan (£34)
Suppose the doll doesn't talk or require feeding, so guess it did have a slight chance.

This is unfortunate news as I was very much looking forward to the first(?) case of a patron catching an STD from silicone.

Certainly a male doll wouldn't need dildo attachments.... Originally Posted by tomcat
