Hangzhou Central Mall has welcomed a special new store, "Adult Candy", a sex toy store specializing in women's adult products. Unlike the sex toy stores that were often hidden in the corners and alleys of the past, this store opened in a shopping mall with a large number of people, attracting the attention of many citizens. At the beginning of the opening, some customers mistakenly thought it was a candy store, but when they walked in, they realized that it was selling sex toys. While some parents have expressed concerns, young people are more open-minded. They believe that this represents the progress of society, and that women have a better understanding and a more open consciousness. However, there are still some concerns and controversies regarding the entry of minors into the store.
The entry of this sex toy store does represent a certain kind of progress and openness in society. In the past, sex toy stores were often hidden in the corners, reluctant to appear in public, but now being able to open a store in a mall represents a gradual change in attitudes towards sex and sexual issues. This kind of open and progressive attitude has a certain role in promoting sex education and the popularization of sexual concepts.
However, it is also reasonable to see if sex toy stores will be able to enter the mall, whether it will have a negative impact on minors, and parents are concerned about this. The clerk said that the front and store signs clearly stated that only adults are allowed and minors are not allowed to enter the store, but parents still question the effectiveness of this measure. Therefore, shopping malls and stores should strengthen supervision to ensure that minors are not allowed to enter sex toy shops. At the same time, parents and schools should also carry out sex education in a timely manner to help adolescents establish correct sexual concepts, so as to meet the needs of adults while avoiding adverse effects on minors.
Internationally, the management of sex toy stores in some countries is also somewhat different from China's. For example, Japan has a certain degree of openness to adult products, but there are also strict regulatory measures that are able to effectively protect minors. In some countries in Europe and the United States, sex toy stores are often openly operated in urban areas, but they are also subject to some restrictions and regulations. It also provides some insight for China on how to balance the needs of adults with the protection of minors.
In conclusion, the presence of sex toy stores in shopping malls is a topic worth discussing and paying attention to. While respecting the needs of adults, it is also necessary to take into account the protection of minors. It is not enough to regulate shopping malls and stores, but it is necessary for all parties in society to work together, including parents, schools and relevant departments, to promote the popularization of correct sex education concepts, so as to truly achieve balanced and healthy development.
