People are renting ‘warmed up’ SECOND-HAND sex dolls via a shocking new app
Using the app, you can customise the doll you want before reserving it for a few nights of passion
IF you've been thinking about getting hold of a sex doll but you're not ready for the commitment, this this bizarre new app may be for you.
Chinese sex toy manufacturer Touch has launched an app called "Shared Girlfriend" which let customers rent their hyper-realistic dolls for up to a week at a time.
Using the app, you can customise the doll you want before reserving it for a few nights of passion.
This means choosing from a range of outfits and hair styles, as well as kinky extras like whips and handcuffs, the Daily Star reports.
Then you can have the doll delivered to your home, and even choose for your plastic lover to be "warmed up" before she arrives.
Prices start at £35 per night to rent a doll, with a full week of passion costing £147, on top of a £911 refundable deposit.
Once customers are done with the silicone lovers, and presumably after they've been thoroughly washed, other people can use the app to borrow the same sex toys.
Describing their new app, manufacturer Touch said: "With one touch of a key, you are no longer single!”
The sex toy industry is booming in China, thanks to a whopping gender imbalance caused by a historical preference for male children in the country.
With 1.15 men to every woman, it's proving harder for Chinese men to find girlfriends - so many are turning to the artificial embrace of plastic partners instead.
The "girlfriend"-sharing app was launched yesterday, when it was showcased alongside a range of products made by Touch, based in the city of Xiamen in south-east China.
A doll dressed as a sailor was among the sex toys on display, with another styled like a nurse and one made to look like sword-wielding superhero Wonderwoman.

The sex toys are made to look and feel as realistic as possible, and are even programmed with voices so they can respond to your touch.
The doll delivery service is currently being trialled in Beijing, but Touch are keen to roll out their app nationwide.
Customers will be pleased to know that they can keep the most sensitive parts of their sex doll, for hygiene reasons.
The firm said: "It can address all the needs of single geeks.
"Tap and it will be delivered to your door, and the single life is over for good.”
