It is not illegal to buy a masturbation cup in Singapore.
1. From the perspective of consumer rights protection
In Singapore, consumers who purchase goods for their daily needs have their rights protected by law. Masturbators, as portable male masturbators, fall under the category of personal products, and consumers have the right to choose and purchase them. While specific laws and regulations in Singapore may differ from those in China, generally speaking, the purchase of such personal products is not subject to legal restrictions. In China, Article 2 of the Consumer Protection Law of the People's Republic of China clearly states: "The rights and interests of consumers who purchase, use goods, or receive services for their daily needs are protected by this Law; matters not provided for in this Law shall be protected by other relevant laws and regulations." This principle also applies to rule-of-law countries like Singapore, meaning that consumers' rights and interests should be protected by law when purchasing personal products.
2. From the perspective of product nature
Masturbators are not prohibited or regulated by the state. In China, laws clearly define and categorize prohibited items, such as police insignia, uniforms, and police equipment, as stipulated in the People's Police Law of the People's Republic of China. These items, due to their specific nature and purpose, are subject to strict legal restrictions and oversight. However, masturbators do not fall into this category, and their purchase and use are not subject to legal restrictions. Similarly, in Singapore, there are no laws or regulations that classify masturbators as prohibited items or prohibit their sale.
3. From the perspective of legal practice
In practice, Singapore's customs and law enforcement agencies primarily focus on the import and export of prohibited items and activities that threaten public safety and public order. Individuals purchasing and using adult products like masturbators generally face no legal sanctions, as long as these actions do not violate public order or good morals. However, if fraud or false advertising is involved during the purchase process, or if the masturbator is used for illegal purposes (such as disseminating obscene material), relevant laws may apply.
To sum up, it is not illegal to buy a masturbation cup in Singapore.
