Thai conservatives vow to legalise sex toys in bid to shake up election

Freedom to use devices could curb prostitution, divorce and sex-related crimes, says Democrat party politician

A conservative Thai political party has backed the legalisation of sex toys as it seeks to revive its appeal before a looming general election.

The Democrat party representative Ratchada Thanadirek said sex toys were being smuggled into Thailand regardless of laws that prohibit their sale, and that the government was missing out on collecting taxes and regulating such products.
