Is this Australia’s response to a massive problem?
Overwritten.
Stoned quotes.
Socially isolated.
If the numbers are something to happen, we are getting alone.
One in four young Australians feels like this daily. Something needs to change.
There is currently a massive demand for wedding rental services in Aussie Shores.
The girls are being hired for the company, the construction of trust or the face of saving.
Do not expect to save money.
Now more than ever, renting brides adds.
The industry dates back to Japan, where a rich history of paid company dates back to the age of the Geisha.
Today, the “bride experience” is a big business and the service has inspired popular television series along with the curiosity of the locals and visitors equally.
Demand continues to grow.
Year after year.
But critics argue commercial service relations and exploit vulnerable people.
So what is the story?
On a trip recently to Japan, one of the main creators of Australian travel content, Jorge, decided to see him.
“I thought, there is no way that this is real,” said Tualy News.com.au.
“It’s a thing of the Internet.”
Thanks to his request to film the experience, Tualy had cut the bureaucracy of the rental agency to spend the week of the week.
Hey, hired a place to help.
In the end, he hired two brides (or actors, depending on their perspective) for an appointment in the park.
Since customers are also responsible for paying all date expenses, it accumulated tuxily around USD $ 447.06 in total costs.
Fortunate that he monetized the moment on YouTube.
The fact that there are people willing to pay strangers for the company in a crisis of cost of living demonstrates the power of loneliness.
He argues that humans are creatures of companies that are isolating themselves for life online.
These services sacrifice a temporary solution to our emotional and social needs.
But you still need to play the game.
He admits “things start awkwardly”, but he warmed when he took out a secret weapon: a puppy (also interested).
“The girls enjoyed relaxing with a puppy in a park,” he says.
“They stepped on my leg hired to make things more at random before. Like the wedding plus dinners or Christmas dinners.”
“They had simply been hired by musicians to encourage them in their concerts.”
In comparison to that, his appointment was … well, a walk in the park.
But how does it compare with the real?
“More memorable,” he says.
“I want a grass below. You can do that too.”
Beyond the memories, he thinks that the service can make a landing difference.
Because for some, this could be his only opportunity to go to an appointment.
“You can help you give you a little more confidence to go and talk to someone, start those conversations,” he says.
“Break the barrier.
“There is a lot of stigma around being single. Therefore, the bee capable of renting a girlfriend can help remove the pressure.”
However, it turns out less confidence that the service explodes in Australia.
“If you are doing something outside the standard in Australia, people can be very critical,” he said.
“You can see it as proof that you can’t get a real bride. But there is definitely a market.”
Despite this stigma, many Australian types are already happy to invest in the company’s comfort.
Gold Coast’s rental, Kay Manuel, says that the emergence of rental brides can be accredited in part by changing gender roles.
“Women are becoming more independent,” says Manuel.
“There is less dependence on men for the company. Therefore, men look for it outside the normal parameters.”
She said her customers vary from 18 to 60 years and are generally single.
“Married men are more likely to see escorts for sexual services.”
In order not to be errors with prostitution or escort, this traditional service comes with strict rules.
In Japan, rental brides are prohibited to be alone with customers or enter their homes.
These rules apply strictly and any violation can result in a completed service or even a job.
Kay, who also works as an escort, says he doesn’t have no sex with customers as part of this service.
“They don’t pay me for sex,” he explained.
“They pay me for the connection.”
Instead, dates are usual dinners, picnics, movies or tasks such as cleaning.
“There is a wrong idea that we are only companions, what we are not. And there is much stigma around the sex industry.”
“If you are happy to take a girl to an appointment and never see her again, why not invest in some that can always be aviable for affection and support?”
Layla Kelly, from Wellington, New Zealand, began investigating him after being flooded with applications for ‘virtual girlfriend’ of his online audience.
“I realized that they are looking for more than nudes,” Kelly said.
Instead of a loss in the demand that changes the cost of living crisis, Kelly said it has been an boom.
“Stress can sometimes boost the child’s demand,” he said.
“Not everyone wants to share their problems with their loved ones.
“This service allows them to talk about their problems and have an exciting experience at the same time.”
But experts warn that it can be an aid solution.
“It does not solve the problem of loneliness,” said Sydney’s expert Samantha Jayne.
“Ultimately, you know that the only reason a person is that you are paying them.”
“It could also be confusing, because they begin to connect when they spend time together.”
Jayne says that the service can help people with social anxiety to practice without fear of rejection.
But it could also be counterproductive, making them feel more lonely and less safe than ever.
She says that the fatigue of the appointment application could be promoting the industry.
“People are tired of sliding, without shows, being ghost or not to coincide,” he explained.
“But before considering renting a couple, try alternatives like a dating coach. There are many other people in their shoes.”
The coach of Sydney’s relationship, Susie Kim, said that this service offers value, is an intersection of multiple industries and roles.
“Punta sex work, therapy and traditional relationships,” Kim said.
“Having a real person with whom you connect can help you feel seen, listened and careful. Even if you pay.”
However, she recognizes that it is a thin line between an emotional exit and a crutch.
“Just when you pay, the benefit comes from genuine care,” he added.
“If that is missing, experience could make you feel even more isolated.”
“It is important that customers see thesis services as support, instead of a relationship substitute or therapy.”
