For starters, these sex dolls are made out of materials far more advanced than rubber, silicone, and other materials. They’re ultra-realistic, with tactile features that make them feel like the real thing. Their facial features are lifelike as well, as they’re designed to move and talk just like a real person. Letting these dolls “pronounce” your name is a bit of a surreal experience to say the least.
They feel like they’re alive, but of course, they’re not. I’m not sure how I feel about that part. On the one hand, it’s nice to know that you’ll never experience heartache or rejection with these dolls… but it’s also a bit strange. Is it really better to sleep with a robot than with a human being?
What’s the point of having a sex life doll? Some people say it’s great for satisfying physical needs and desires without having to worry about any of the emotional and psychological baggage that comes with a real-life relationship. Others say that these dolls are where our society is headed and that they’ll eventually replace human relationships entirely.
I don’t know how I feel about that. Sure, it could be great for vibrators one-time flings or just having a physical relationship, but the thought of never having an emotionally, spiritually, and mentally intimate moment with another human being again… I’m not sure if that’s something I can get behind.
When I think of the sex life doll it’s as if I’m having a conversation with a robot instead of a person. It’s daunting to think that people would actually prefer to take part in such activities with these dolls instead of talking to actual humans—it just seems bizarre. It’s as if we’re losing our connection with what it means to have a real relationship.
And that’s why I’m a bit ho-hum about the concept of these sex life dolls. Sure, it might provide physical relief, but it’s doing it at the cost of being able to truly connect with someone on an emotional level. I just don’t think that’s worth it.
I just can’t wrap my head around the idea of having a doll in place of a real, living, breathing human being. There’s something unbelievably wrong about that, and it’s hard to seem to move past that feeling.
Maybe I’m being too harsh on these sex life dolls. After all, if someone really does want to use it to satisfy a purely physical need, then who am I to judge? But I just can’t help but feel like it’s missing something essential.
What if these dolls become mainstream one day, like they’re on their way to becoming? Would they replace all physical and emotional connections between humans in some way? It’s hard to see how that could be beneficial in the long run.
Plus, it’s all a bit creepy—these sex life dolls don’t come with any real emotional investment from either partner. They’re a bit like a one-night stand without the mutual understanding and trust that’s typically needed for both parties to feel safe and secure. It just doesn’t feel right to me.
I’m sure there are people out there who would disagree with me, and in that case, I’m happy for them. I’m sure there are people who just use them for fun and pleasure. But I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully get on board with a sex life doll replacing the real thing. I mean, what’s the point if both partners aren’t willing to put in the effort to connect on many different levels?
