if they have purchased non-disposable ones, they would
rather throw them away after using them than bring them

“Sex is supposed to be something happy, why do people
have to act like drug smugglers when they go on sexca-
tion?” she adds. Wong especially appreciates the contact-
less check-in service offered by some hourly hotels. “It is a
nice gesture to destigmatise sexcation. People can just go
