Okay, I am over it now..

Just kidding, those are pretty fucking creepy.

I honestly wouldn't want to meet the people that buy these kinds of toys. Why do you need to spend that kind of money on a fake fuck? Either you're incredibly hideous (hello, Elephant Man) and even a hooker won't fuck you, or you have absolutely no social skills and can't get a date. Either way, not the kind of person I'd want to meet up with. But I guess at least this way they can get their freak on.

...creepy

Hey, I think I saw that guy at Purr on Saturday night!

Seriously, that doll is astonishing. The face is weirdly un-natural but from the back? Damn, I’d never leave the house.

I don’t think it has to do with attractiveness or getting a date; some guys just have really high sex drives and want to get off regularly without a fuss (not to mention the fact that the “sex” couldn’t be safer). Sex toys are just another outlet.

Would you say the same thing about a woman who bought an ultra-expensive vibrator? Sure, it's expensive, but people toss money at more banal things. And if these dolls were $50, I bet millions of men would keep one in the closet.

that thing is so gary sinise it's scary

Yep, real doll fanatics have too much cash on their hands.

so yeah, three porno babes and a boy doll following by a documentary about girls basketball. i enjoyed both. a lot.

Says the person who would cause this kind of damage after purchasing such a thing.

Who presumably eat very little and don't talk much, but sit there and look all feminine and stuff.

Sex negative prudes much?

The idea that someone could unknowingly have a Realdoll copy of themselves at a barbecue somewhere is creepy.

If you're going to silence certain commentators (however disturbing they might be) it's probably best to also delete comments like #22 that directly quote said commentators. You obviously haven't learned enough about censorship from Fox News.

And of course, don't forget to delete mine as well.

To which the sublime Mr. Rakoff drily responds, if only to we his readers, "My regards to Mrs. Knight."

I heart David Rakoff.

So it appears, from the state of these badly abused pseudovaginas, that they cannot, in fact, take a great deal of punishment before they are in need of repair.

General ethical question: Say you've been cursed with a proclivity for pedophilia. Would getting a child-shaped sex doll be an appropriate way to act out on, and assuage, those urges? Or would approximating the experience only feed into the obsession and intensify the person's desire for (and likeliness to seek out) a child?

Pedophilia is the one issue with which I have Zero Tolerance, even though I'm opposed to the concept of binary states in moral or legal issues.
