There is one city on our planet that defies the universal dogma of monogamy, which tends to be the cornerstone of our modern society, with so many women living there that most men have two or three girlfriends.
Most of the men in this city have two or three girlfriends!
Dongguan, in south China’s Guangdong province, is not only popular for producing electronics, including iPhones and iPads, but it is also known as the Chinese ‘capital of sex’.
Mirrior UK reports that the city came to attain its status due to a certain child policy which operated in China for many years, when the country had a massive gender imbalance with millions more women than men.
Then, local factories which run assembly plants had a bias for hiring men, as they find them unreliable. Instead, they have been offering jobs mainly to women.
This made more men taking odd jobs and casual work, thereby leaving them with plenty of time on their hands, which in turn makes room for more than one girlfriend.
Most men within this Chinese ‘sex-city’, admit they have two or three permanent girlfriends at the same time, and it is not a problem even between the women.
“It is a lot easier here to find a girlfriend than a job,” one man told a local TV.
The few men who do have jobs at the factories are in a better position as regards finding girlfriends, because they spend longer hours at work on the production lines with the women.
Girls do not mind being number two, or even number three
This means that for the male residents of Dongguan, the best place to find love, is within the company.
The gender disproportion has recently led to this city being branded the ‘capital of sex’ with many women ever willing to involve themselves in relationships with men who they know already have other partners.
A migrant factory worker from south-western Sichuan province, Li Bin, said: “I have three girlfriends, and all of them know about each other. Many of my friends also have many girlfriends.”
“There are so many young and naive female workers in the city. Why not have more than one if we can? Look, everyone is here to have fun; if you don’t do it, others will.”
Li Bin further said that it was a “joke” for a man to only have one female partner.
A 25-year-old native of Sichuan, A Yi, also said he went to Dongguan to find a wife, because the dowry alone in his hometown would cost an equivalent of N960,000.
Yi said: “There are plenty of women in Dongguan, and they don’t want any money. They just want a man.”
Though currently unemployed, Yi said his girlfriend now pays his bills and it is not a problem for them at all.
Girls are ready to pay the bills for their man, in order to maintain their relationships.
The Guangdong Women’s Rights and Information Service, report that the women in Dongguan pretend not to know about other partners, or simply ignore their existence; some of them are even colleagues in the same factory.
The women’s rights group said the ladies “prefer the arrangement as it is better than being lonely.”
Eventually, most of the women in Dongguan will return home to get married. The idea is that their lifestyle in the bustling ‘capital of sex’ is temporary, and simply a necessary evil.
