“I speak directly. I use the words pussy and dick I just blurt it out,” Chitlada “Kui” Promlumpuk declares.
Known among friends as Thailand’s answer to Samantha Jones, the sex-positive protagonist in HBO’s “Sex and the City,” Kui was thrust into the spotlight last year when the hugely popular media platform Echo reached out to her to host a sex toy review video. The response was unprecedented. It became Echo’s “Video of the Year,” racking up 8.3 million views, 21,000 likes, 3,500 shares, and over 2,000 comments the overwhelming majority of which have been positive.
This is despite the fact that sex toys are classed as “obscene objects,” their trade and distribution punishable with up to three years in prison under Thai law.
