What is the purpose of chinese femdom?
Chinese femdom has an unclear purpose, though it likely serves to elevate social status for wealthy males. This trend is especially prevalent in countries where family structures are changing rapidly – men with multiple wives are often referred to as patriarchs. Polygamous businessmen in China have introduced a host of novelties, such as the sing-song girl concept which allows them to set up an attractive concubine to impress their female colleagues. One entrant, however, has reigned supreme in terms of all things sexual and seductive. She’s affectionately known as the “mistress” (qingren in Mandarin). Despite this being legal and having social ramifications to this day, its exact reason remains a mystery.
Why is chinese femdom illegal?
For millennia, Chinese emperors, government officials and wealthy men kept concubines. Nowadays, women who have a mistress are treated more like contracted escorts than prostitutes; they receive financial support from their lover but there is often doubt as to whether there is genuine love present between them.
At Weiqing Love Hospital in Shanghai, I meet a middle-aged woman who wishes to remain anonymous. She is using their mistress-dispeller service – helping husbands separate unfaithful spouses from their lovers – for which she pays tens of thousands of dollars. With such money at stake, it is clear why she would want to move on from this unwanted love rival.
Mistress-dispeller service is a niche industry in China that helps husbands and wives separate their unfaithful lovers. Sometimes, dispellers use threats of violence to coax them away. However, the company insists they never engage in anything illegal; their team of operatives travel throughout China to seduce clients’ partners before dispatching them. It has been around for some time now but its success has spurred other companies offering similar services.
