China bans women from modeling and men do it for them

In order to eradicate the morbid and obscene image that certain people come to create after seeing women posing in lingerie during live broadcasts of companies dedicated to this area, a restrictive law was implemented in China that prohibits women from that country promote and model undergarments.

Faced with rigorous Internet censorship in China, lingerie brands have chosen to implement a new way of promoting their merchandise. Instead of showing images of female bodies, they have resorted to having men model their clothes, an act that caused a stir and drew attention on social networks.
