My friend Cathy asked me what I thought about the concept of sex dolls and I knew she must have seen something about it online. I was completely taken aback at first and couldn’t believe someone would actually create such a product. But like I said, technology is so advanced these days that anything is possible.
At first, I was a bit put off by the idea of buying or using a sex doll. Like, why would anyone want to buy something like that if they can find a real partner? I knew I shouldn’t judge too quickly, so I decided to do some research.
The more I read about it, the more I understood the concept and why some people choose to go this route. For example, some people suffer from severe physical or psychological disabilities, so they might not be able to find a partner. Others might not have the time or energy for a relationship, so a sex doll might be the best option for them. Others may even find the dolls to be therapeutic, as they can provide comfort and companionship on a kind of level they can’t get from anyone else.
I certainly understand why some people would choose this kind of option. But at the same time, I can’t help but think there’s something fundamentally wrong about it. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not sure if it’s really something I would be comfortable with, or would ever consider using.
Then there’s also the problem of the stigma that comes with this kind of purchase. Believe it or not, there are still a lot of people out there who think it’s wrong and shameful to own or use a sex doll. It’s a personal choice, but I know for a fact that I wouldn’t want to be considered in that light by my family or friends.
There’s also the fact that the dolls can’t make decisions for themselves; they don’t provide any kind of meaningful interaction and they certainly can’t share any kind of emotional connection with you. That’s why I’m still on the fence about this whole thing. I mean, sure, it might have its advantages, but it just doesn’t feel right to me.
But then again, if the sex doll has been programmed to provide pleasure in whatever way you look for, then I suppose it could be seen as an advantage in some ways. Especially for maybe the elderly or those who suffer from some sort of medical condition. But again, it all depends on the individual and what they are looking for in a partner.
Another thing to consider is the actual production of these dolls and where the materials come from. There have been reports of dolls being produced in developing countries in often unethical ways. That’s why it’s so important to do your research before making any kind of purchase.
Finally, the cost of the dolls can be quite steep and I just can’t wrap my head around the concept of forking out thousands of dollars for a product like that. I mean, vibrators sure, it would last a long time, but still. That kind of money is better spent elsewhere.
See, there’s so many things to consider when it comes to sex doll talk, and I have to admit that I’m still kind of in the dark about it all. What do you think? Do you think it’s something I should look further into or am I better off leaving it alone?
