性玩具

Sex toys (also known as erotic toys, adult toys, or sex toys) are tools used during sexual activity, primarily to stimulate the genitals or other sensitive areas to enhance sexual pleasure, explore oneself, or increase intimacy between partners. Historically considered taboo, they have now become a mainstream topic, especially after the widespread adoption of the internet, with the global market exceeding tens of billions of dollars. China is the world's largest producer of sex toys, accounting for 70% of exports.
