One comment said, “It took about two weeks after giving it to my husband for the drugs to take effect. My husband is now very good at home.”
Another person wrote: “My husband suffered sexual dysfunction after using it and asked himself ‘why?’. Don’t blame me. I did it for the family and will continue to use it on him.”
A reporter with the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald in Hunan province subsequently searched for DES on an online shopping platform and found some shops that did not advertise the drug but said it could be delivered with discretion.
The report quoted the unidentified shop assistant as saying: “You can ‘purchase’ other products but we will deliver [DES].”
50 grams of the drug could be bought for 90 yuan (US$14), 100 grams for 170 yuan (US$26) and 200 grams for 320 yuan (US$50).
