A few weeks ago, I stumbled across a new sex doll shop that opened up in Southfield, Michigan. I have to admit, I was a bit shocked that there was a shop so specialized in something that has always been quite taboo. Despite my initial surprise, I decided to press forward and take a closer look.
To no surprise, the shop was quite plain. There were no windows, and no other customers. I felt awkward walking in, but the proprietor didn’t seem to notice. He walked up to me and asked what he could do to help. I stammered for a few seconds before explaining that I was just curious and wanted to take a look around.
He politely told me that all of the dolls were in the backroom and pointed in that direction. I thanked him and explained that I would just take a look from outside the backroom. He nodded and went back to his desk while I ventured further in.
The first thing that struck me was the sheer variety of the dolls. There were Asian, Caucasian, Black, and Hispanic dolls. Some were dressed in lingerie, while others were dressed in more conservative attire. It was an interesting collection to be sure.
I moved closer to the backroom, peering in through the glass as I did. All the dolls were posed and laid out on shelves along the walls of the backroom. I could some of them reacting to some sort of programming. It was all so surreal.
In the middle of the room was a large, leather chair, flanked on either side by two dolls. Strangely, the dolls were positioned in a very provocative way. It made me a bit uncomfortable, to say the least. I decided to leave this shop and rethink my life decisions.
The experience was strange, to say the least. It was a surreal world, and I’m not sure I’d ever go back to such a place. But that being said, I think we can all agree that there are times when novelty and exploration into something new, such as a sex doll shop, can be eye-opening and educational.
Moving on from this enlightening experience, I started to learn more about the sex doll industry. From the materials used in their construction to the psychological effects of sex dolls, there is a lot to explore in this world.
For starters, most of the sex dolls are made from double layered silicone, which is said to be non-allergenic and durable. This is great news– since you don’t have worry about any potential skin rashes. Beyond the silicone used, there are also a few silicone alternatives such as ABS plastic and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
The dolls also have wire frames which provide the dolls with life-like flexibility. These frames are also very durable and can take a lot of wear and tear before requiring repairs. This makes the dolls quite ideal for vibrators multiple uses and they can come out of the damage relatively unscathed compared to other materials used in its construction.
Beyond the construction of the dolls there is also the psychological aspect of using them. Many people feel that sex dolls provide a safe environment in which to express their desires, without having to worry about potential rejections or guilt. This is a great advantage to those who are too shy, or don’t want to express their fantasies in a real-life setting.
In addition to providing a safe environment, many also find that sex dolls help to reduce psychological barriers that would otherwise exist. By helping to reduce personal anxieties, the dolls can help to increase user’s confidence, which in turn can lead to better performance in other areas of their life.
Furthermore, sex dolls can also be used as a marriage aid, providing couples with a way to explore together without fear of judgment or rejection. Couples can use the dolls to explore different scenarios and express their fantasies with one another, too.
Overall, the experience at the sex doll shop was certainly an eye opener. All I can say is that anyone who is curious should definitely check it out. Take it from me – it will give you a new perspective on the industry and its effects on society.
