If you are easily grossed out, you may need to skip the rest of this.

Japanese adult novelty company Gigimo has unveiled a disturbing product that makes use of dissolvable lipids and colored fluid to simulate that famous bloody spotting of a true virgin’s first time: the broken hymen.

Pardon me as I shudder. Attempting to teach us something, they even give an explanatory list of reasons you might need their product and hype it up with hypothetical uses and the promise that no one but you will ever know that you are indeed a fake virgin.

It doesn’t surprise me that this product originated in Japan as the largest genre of pornography in their culture’s underbelly is school-girl oriented, from high school hentai to Sailor Moon to vending machines dispensing “used” school girl undies. While the demands on the female body are refreshingly non-surgical (no double-D implants or obsessively over-injected duck lips), the damage is equal, if not worse.

At some point in our future, the sultry mystery of real women could be as mythological as that of the Templars.
