Sex Dolls: Good or Bad?

A 2007 article on some Japanese men utilizing sex dolls (high quality ones) and some even abandoning intimacy with women altogether.

The article talks about one 45 year old Japanese engineer who has done this.

I guess the dolls were originally made for or marketed toward physically disabled men. I actually thought that maybe that's not such a "creepy" thing maybe? I dunno... I'm not physically disabled so it's hard for me to judge [shrug].

There's news video on the left hand side that shows and talks with the engineer guy with his dolls.

Opinions? Would anyone ever boink a doll like one of these or have your wife make out with one? (maybe we should give some of these to the British when they go on vacation?)

Story: Japan's lonely hearts turn to dolls for sex, company | U.S. | Reuters

Uh... do they make men?

There was a movie about this. Lars and the Real Girl. I thought it was pretty good.

Yes, they make men.

This is an interesting thing. A new generation of blow-up dolls, and at 3gs a pop too. If you're rich, lonely, and have nothing better to do? I don't see anything wrong with it.

It does kind of remind me of that twilight zone, with the mannequin and everything.

Either way, I guess it's just a preference. Whoever abandons real women for these is pretty moronic, though. Which is why I think the target market is the people who don't have the choice to make. More like no women, or fake women, for the people who will find these an attractive solution to their friday night woes.

Crazy stuff. Just wait till they stick skins like that on autonomous lovebots.

I saw a show from BBC (maybe?) about this. It's a pretty interesting study, the men cloth them, go shopping for them, drive them around on sundays, just like any couple. The video I watched was on the new somewhere, check it out. Real girls, I believe it's called.

I saw that too. Really creepy documentary. Do these dolls feel real? Do they have batteries to heat up the skin and pootang? I'd guess that the guys buying these wouldn't have much real experience to compare (that's based simply on how desperate someone would have to be to spend 3 grand instead of just getting a hooker for a hundred bucks).

I'd fuck that guy/girl up the ass. He/she is hot.

I've noticed that Lin and Writ are often at each other. What makes you despise him, Lin? I ask as you are often the initiator of the insults.

If I want something expensive and emotionless to lay there unaware that I'm trying to pleasure it I'll just have sex with my wife.
