“Sex toys are useful because they can lead to a reduction in prostitution, as well as divorces due to sexual libido mismatch and sexual crimes,” party representative Ratchada Thanadirek said in an announcement on Monday.
She said the federal government also missed the chance to gather a tax on the legal import of erotic stimulants.
Although sex toys are considered “immoral” in some areas of Thailand, many still enter the dominion illegally from abroad, the party says.
Anyone convicted of selling them faces three years in prison or a effective of as much as $1,800, although they will be freely purchased from street stalls in a few of Bangkok’s less salubrious neighborhoods.
Ratchada said there may be currently no quality control on imported sex toys and a few of them short circuit, causing questions of safety.
