KUWAIT CITY, Oct 13: Sex toys are rampant in Kuwait and are being sold to prospectiv­e buyers by a well-knit distributi­on unit and to beat the tight control by the security authoritie­s the vendors usually use nonKuwaiti (telephone lines not registered in Kuwait) to prevent detection of their activities, reports Al-Rai daily.

The daily contacted one of the distributo­rs of these toys to ask for details. The answer was that the prices range between 99 and KD 135 per piece. The distributo­r also said 60 percent of the payment must be made in advance when the goods are booked and the remaining 40 percent after receiving the goods.

Lawyer Dr Saad Al-Enezi in a statement to the daily said, “I believe that selling such things secretly violates the laws, and falls under the item (the sale of unlicensed goods) according to the Trade Law, and is punishable accordingl­y.”

He added, these things are strange, and those who benefit from such sales are homosexual­s or the sexually deprived people and people who are weak and most of those who go in this direction are because of drugs.

He said, there are special shops which sell these stuffs and the customers are more often than not psychologi­cally and sexually disturbed and willing to experience something new or are victims of bad companions.

Baron said in a statement to AlRai country, reports Al-Qabas daily.

Some landlords, in a lust to make money, have built prefab- ricated rooms on their rooftops and rented them out for bachelors. What these landlords do not realize is that these bachelors pose a security threat in a strategic area like that in Sharq in the

He pointed out, “Kuwait has many expatriate­s who live without wives and this increases the likelihood of sexual disorders.”

“Sex toys, if used by more than one person, will transmit microbes that cause sexually transmitte­d diseases, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS, and some bacteria such as mycoplasma and urea plasma,’’ said Dr Mai Kamel, a reproducti­ve health specialist at Jasmine Medical Dispensary.
