The world is full of diversity, and with the evolution of the times and the increase of life pressure, people increasingly need to reduce their inner burden through personal interests.
However, unlike common mainstream interests such as sports and art, some hobbies seem "unpopular".
"White dress" for online shopping
This surprising thing happened to Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue is a female college student, and some time ago she bought a white dress online, but after returning to try it on, it didn't feel very suitable. Due to the usual academic pressure, she was so busy studying that she forgot about the return and refund. Until I remembered it, the after-sales time had expired.
Therefore, Koyuki decided to sell the dress online at a low price. Soon after, she was asked about her products, but to her shock, the buyer was not interested in dresses, but was asking for something else intimate. The buyer even asked Xiaoxue if she had underwear, underwear, socks, etc., and was willing to pay a high price. Xiao Xue was initially confused as to why someone would come to her to buy these things. She turned down the buyer, explaining that she was not a lingerie merchant and only sold the dress because it was not suitable.
However, what the buyer wanted to buy turned out to be unwashed clothes worn by light snow! This disgusting request surprised Xiao Xue. Xiao Xue quickly closed the chat window, trying to erase this bad memory from her mind. However, before she could blackmail the buyer, another message quickly came in, asking if she was willing to sell the bra and panties she wore that day and pay a high price.
This question shocked Xiaoxue, and she immediately blocked the buyer and even cancelled her account to avoid being targeted by misdevils. However, the incident revealed some unknown transactions. It turns out that long ago, there were some people who were keen to trade special items, they were called "foreign body fetish". And this strange transaction, many insiders call it "original trading".
The lure of "trading"
Initially, the deal started with disposable masks. Some people put used masks on the Internet for sale, and some people actually bought them. The business opportunity was clear, and more people began to follow suit, selling their used masks online. Some buyers even make special requirements, requiring lipstick prints on masks, etc.
Subsequently, the scope of transactions expanded, and the products were no longer limited to masks, but also included personal intimate items such as underwear and socks. As disgusting as it sounds, the "foreign body fetish" group prefers these. In particular, women's underwear, especially worn intimate clothing, became the object of their collection. This weird desire is disturbing enough.
However, it is precisely because of the existence of "foreign body fetish" that this trading market continues to grow and even show an uncontrollable trend. In order to make money, many girls hang their personal intimate belongings on second-hand platforms to sell. After the buyer is interested, they communicate privately and eventually sell these worn items. In the United States, a woman earns $540,000 a year with plain trading.
In New York, USA, there is a female college student named K, a young girl who pioneered a unique way of financial independence. In many countries, it is a tradition that parents should encourage their children to live independently when they reach adulthood. Because of this, when K first entered university, he was often busy with various part-time jobs.
In order to earn money, she began selling lingerie on online platforms while also working as a model. One day, however, a male customer asked her via private message if she could buy lingerie she had already used.
Confused, K agreed to sell the lingerie she wore as a model to this buyer, despite not thinking deeply.
Subsequently, K unexpectedly found that many people were willing to buy these underwear that had been worn, and even some people were willing to bid dozens of times higher than the cost price in order to buy the underwear she had worn for a long time. Shocked, K also found a shortcut for himself to achieve financial independence.
In contrast, a similar phenomenon does not only exist abroad, but also has a considerable original trading market in China. This form of trading can be called "windfall trading".
A pair of underwear can even cost tens to hundreds of dollars, and some people have even sold their worn, unwashed underwear for as much as 999 yuan.
In addition, the foreign body fetish community has some specialized purchase channels through which they can customize products that meet their requirements, including color, smell, wearing time, etc. Usually, the selling price of an item is directly proportional to the time it is worn and how fresh the smell is.
Some trading platforms have even gone even more extreme, not just selling worn underwear and panties, or even selling them in "set combinations". In this case, the buyer will post their needs on the trading platform, including the specified outfit, shooting pose, number of photos, whether it is accompanied by a video, etc.
Usually, the larger the scale of the photo, the higher the price, and the product with a video of more than ten seconds or even a few minutes can be sold for hundreds or even thousands of yuan. In many cases, photos, videos, and clothing are often sold as a whole.
Foreign Trade: Ethical Torture and Legal Norms
However, such transactions are not clearly defined in law, even within the moral bottom line. This transaction is still a gray area in law, and although it is contrary to public order and morals, it does not constitute an illegal activity. There are many questions behind this that require deep consideration.
First of all, why are women's intimate clothes selling so expensive? Does this constitute an objectification of women? It is difficult to accept that the intimate clothing worn is sold at a price to satisfy the twisted desires of some "foreign body fetish" people.
Second, these items with personal characteristics are widely traded, which poses a risk to women's personal privacy protection. Personal privacy items should be kept independently by individuals, and although it is voluntary to put them on the platform for trading, women still need to strengthen their personal safety precautions.
Law, morality and values
In this case, female college students traded in an unethical way in pursuit of virtual wealth, prompting social ethics and legal torture. In fact, morality and law, as cornerstones of social order and fair competition, apply equally in the real and virtual worlds.
This case provokes deep thinking. First, wealth is not the only pursuit, morality and personality are equally important. Secondly, the law is equally effective in the virtual world, and violations of the law will have consequences. Finally, the virtual world and reality are interconnected, and we need to be vigilant and should not lose sight of the value of reality because of virtuality.
On the streets, alleys, or virtual networks, people pursue very different lifestyles. Diversity constitutes the charm of this world, but the collision of different interests also leads to the interweaving of ethics and law. For the existence of "unsightly light", we need to examine it from the perspective of moral, legal and personal values, remain vigilant, and jointly safeguard social order and good customs.
