My best friend Jenn recently just got over her breakup and I was so relieved to see her smile. She’s told me that being single again is kind of liberating. But I can tell she’s still not 100% alright yet. That’s why when I stumbled upon articles about sex dolls replacing heartbreak, I was intrigued.
First off, dildos there’s an array of sex dolls out there that range from highly realistic to extremely expensive. Secondly, some of them can be custom-made to order for a person’s particular fantasies. And the best thing about these life-sized objects is that they don’t possess any of the complicated emotions that humans do. So, no matter how unmotivated or low you feel, these dolls won’t break your heart.
Fact is, when you’re in the aftermath of a breakup, it’s nice to have something that won’t reject your sexual needs. People may find it weird but for some, this is just what they need in order to process and move onward with their lives. It can be argued that the physical intimacy and attention that comes from a ‘real relationship’ is missing, but an argument can also be made that sex dolls provide a convenient way for people to experience a sense of pleasure and familiarity another way – without hurting anyone else in the process.
A key issue here is that having these sex dolls can bring a sense of instant gratification, easing emotional pain caused by a break up. But, it’s important to remember that these dolls are not a substitute for real, intimate relationships. It’s a mind-numbing activity, like the saying “probably playing games on a phone to ward off boredom”. In contrast, humans experience emotions, chemistry, and the feeling of genuine connection with another person – which we all need, no exceptions.
So, while sex dolls can be helpful in relieving post-breakup heartache, we should bear in mind that they are not a substitute for real relationships – and that nourishing mental health should be the priority, especially if a breakup is in the works. Real human interaction – albeit virtual at times – is essential for our wellbeing.
These days, technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are evolving so quickly that the safety guidelines and ethics around the use of these products aren’t yet refined. Before getting a sex doll, it’s important to do your research and read all available resources. Investigate their use as well as the risks associated and reviews by other users.
In many ways, sex dolls can be used to help people move on from a break-up. However, it’s also important to remember that there are limits to an individual’s capacity to form meaningful relationships. You can’t replace real, human connection with an inanimate object. That being said, sex dolls can give a person an outlet to express their basic needs and help them get over heartache and reset.
