What do you think of sex dolls?

The innovation of sex toys has been one of the biggest trends in the adult industry in the past couple decades, and sex dolls in particular have captured the attention of people around the world, primarily men. Some people have welcomed this change with enthusiasm, while some groups have grown concerned. Many women for example fear that this technology will one day render them inessential and useless to the opposite sex. What are your thoughts on them? Do you think they’re attractive, or do they look too fake? Would you ever buy one? Why do you think men around the world are growing increasingly interested in them, and do you think real women have good reason to be worried about this new competition?

Quotes from doll owners:
"I just got tired of being alone. Most of the women I went out with got pissed when race season got here and I went to work on race cars on most weekends. And I don't want all the head games that real women bring with them."

"It seems that the entire dating/marriage concept has become sort of a death-trap for males. No matter how you try to play it, she will always hold all of the cards and will most likely use them at some point. Dolls are a good sensible alternative. They meet my needs well enough for the arrangement to be sustainable."

"I was married for 25 years, most of the last ten years were unhappy, now that I'm single again the last thing I want is a (real) relationship. Dolls don't complain, they’re always there, and never have a headache. Dolls win."

  • Dolls in general are kind of creepy, but sex dolls really creep me out.

    A diembodied cock or ass or pussy ala fleshlight I have no problems with, those are just masturbation tools. But an entire doll seems like it's meant to be representative of a person - a person who just lies there like a corpse, and I'm sorry, but that's creepy as fuck.

    • EXACTLY

    • "Creepy". What does that word even mean anymore? I mean, porn is creepier when you consider the rampant abuse and rape that goes on, but it's normalised so people don't think it's degenerate anymore.

  • I want to be a sex doll

    • That's a different thing all together...

  • The concept is creepy as all hell to me, but then again, the guys using these dolls are probably even creepier.

    • So I'm assuming women using dildos is just as creepy then?

    • Dildos =/= sex dolls. Nice try though.

    • Hahahahha hypocrite

  • Masturbatory aids are one thing. I really think thinks like Tenga Eggs and Fleshlight are great.

    But whole dolls for sex seem really sad. I don't think they are a good solution to men's feelings of lonliness. Reading the quotes you give shows me that men use them as an alternative to forming a meaningful relationship and I think, no matter how you cut it, that's going to be a loss for them, and not very positive for society.

    • I think it's more that they don't have the option of a relationship. There can be all kinds of reasons for that. Sometimes they need to self improve as people, sometimes their finances aren't good enough or they're physically ugly whether they hit the gym or not. There have always been men who simply die alone and there's really nothing they can do about it. In our times there's also a lot of gender war, and a lot of women who use sex as a weapon of control in relationships. That's not to say there aren't problems with men or some of their behaviours, but it's hard to point to the symptom (dolls) and think that's bad for society without looking at the multi-variant set of factors that compose it. I think dolls could represent an alternative to hookup culture, which is also very not good for society, and it would be healthier emotionally and in terms of reducing disease spread. They can also be used where two people love each other but have wildly mismatched sex drives and so on.

  • I think the primary objection is that it undermines women's sexual power over men. Not all women use this power, and instead they resolve issues properly, rather than using power to induce capitulation (whipping). Most of them do, however. Some people claim it's about caring for lonely men, that these will "make it worse", but they neglect that there's usually a reason why they either can't get or don't want a relationship, and that's the unhealthy part that comes before the symptom of the doll/AI/robot. Some get that "uncanny valley" effect and don't like them for that reason. If you ask those women if they'd let their man have one for the times when she's not in the mood for whatever reason, and her reason not is "creepy", consider that it could be put in a box up a corner so she doesn't see it. Her real reason is almost certainly that she feels 'replacement threat', i. e. undermining of sexual or emotional power/control.

    I believe in equal pay for equal work. If paid hourly and the threshold quota is done, the pay should be equal. If either man or woman does overtime, they should be paid the same rate for the hours worked. If paid by measurable work done, it should be paid according to the work done. I believe nobody should be barred from opportunities on the basis of gender, so long as if the role requires physical prowess the minimum standard is met. Same crime, same punishment. Equal as it can be. This is what feminism is supposed to be about. I do not, however, believe that men and women are the same.

    Psychologically and physically we're just different. Men generally have higher libidos, but the means of satisfying this are often seen as a threat either to women's sexual power or to her ego (insecurities emerge). I remember when there was a stigma to Fleshlights, and before that to porn, and before my time masturbation carried a stigma for both men and women. Dolls are opposed mostly for the same reasons, though there tends to be an assumption that unlike other toys they're an "alternative", with the presumption of other available options for a human partner. It's amazing how often the argument is made that these single men need to improve themselves to get a partner, but when it's about married men getting a doll there's no presumption that the women need to improve. It's one of those double standards we have. Man hits woman? Bad man! Woman hits man? What did HE do? No specifics asked, just automatic assumptions. These biases show up a LOT when it comes to men's sexuality.

    NOTE: Vibrators are known to in effect make regular sex comparatively unstimulating for women, and so frequent users of them often include them in regular sex to in essence masturbate while he uses her body for the same. He's then superfluous and so the sex life often suffers. Nobody argues that this is "bad for society". When they say it's bad for society or for lonely men, what they mean is that is bad for women, but they want to appear like it's about caring and not about power. Some will argue that it's make men "objectify" women. Why they don't assume that a man will see a woman shaped object and "womanify" it, rather than somehow being transformed by a doll into a sub-human sociopath somehow, is either a product of a dull mind absorbed in ideology and misandry or an outright falsehood because they fear dolls will undermine women's sexual power over men, and specifically their own.

    There are equivalents to this misandry in the form of mysogyny, of course. Men and women are more reciprocal than equal, and their reciprocal problems, depending on laws and norms, are not always equal. Here I just detailed some of the problems out there for men, and I'm not at all saying that these attitudes are held by all women who might even say some of the things I've mentioned. To put it another way, if you're feeling personally offended because you're not as described even if you hold some of those views, don't be, this isn't about you in that case. :)

  • BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! *SMH It really has come to this has it? Meh, well lonely people need love too.

    • Really, I got down voted for thinking that holding and making love to a large piece of silicone is far better than an actual person? And from a woman no less...

  • Here are some of my thoughts:

    - There will always be some of us who will not accept anything except a living, breathing woman. That being the case, women will always have men available. The only potential problem is that the number of men interested in women may decline substantially, so polygyny may become a necessity to offer marriage to all available women.
    - Guys who use dolls to substitute for women will not pass their genes into the future generations, thereby rectifying the human race.
    - Advanced dolls/bots are very expensive, so until manufacturers become competitive, most guys won't be able to afford them.
