Chinese Give Dead Relatives 'Viagra' For Afterlife Sex

Chinese cemeteries are selling paper replicas of Viagra pills to let relatives burn them for the dead as a wish for satisfying sex in the afterlife.

And customers are snapping up the paper Viagra, as well as images of condoms and heavily made-up bar girls, ahead of the annual 'Tombsweeping Festival' on April 5.

Chinese have traditionally burned fake money in honour of dead relatives during the festival, when families clean their ancestors' tombs and graves.

They believe the wealth will go to their ancestors in the afterlife.

But China's move toward a more consumer-oriented society has seen new offerings including various luxury items including the paper replicas of Viagra pills, televisions, cellphones, and cars.
