In a country where a concept as crucial as sex education is often considered taboo, it is a no-brainer that indulging in sexual activities, solely for pleasure is unthinkable to the masses. However, with the advent of technology and various initiatives being undertaken throughout the country to normalize the ‘bizarre’ notions, industries that converge business with pleasure have been wildly flourishing.
The Indian Sex Toy Industry is a vivid example of the same. Not only does it exhibit massive potential, but it also puts forth a reassuring statistic. It shows us a bolder India that embraces sexuality and pleasure. So much so, that a radical documentary about the country’s million-dollar sex toy industry is en route to release this week!
DocuBay, an Indian documentary streaming platform under Mumbai’s IN10 Media Network, is all set to release ‘Bad Toys Inc.’, a 45-minute original film exploring the country’s burgeoning sex toy industry. Slated for a July 26 debut, the film offers a peek into India’s rapidly evolving attitudes towards not only pleasure products but the concept of ‘sex for pleasure’ as a whole.
Touching upon the legal aspects and historical context of pleasure accessories in India, the documentary delves into regional preferences, consumer stories, as well as insights straight from the industry. It features interviews with sexologist and Padma Shree awardee Dr. Prakash Kothari and founders of budding sex toy startups.
Not only does this seem like an absolute must-watch, but it will also serve as a testament to a better, more sex-positive future for the country and its upcoming generations!
That being said, do not forget to join in on the journey that will traverse the valleys of Kashmir, the lanes of Lucknow, the nooks of Pune, and more, to narrate stories highlighting the importance of these sex toys.
