Having heard talk of sex dolls, I tried to investigate the matter further. At first, I didn’t know quite what to make of it. These dolls were actually available to purchase? Who would want one? What would it be like to own one? To me, the concept seemed a little alien.
I read some opinion pieces about sex dolls and learned more. This topic was more unbelievable than I had first thought! Apparently, some people even fill up these dolls with saline and use them as human-looking pillows. To me, the thought of having a plastic companion seemed a bit odd – but each to their own, I guess!
Then, I began examining the dolls themselves. Most were made from silicone and vibrators were quite expensive! Still, I supposed that if someone had the money and felt comfortable with them, perhaps they could be a nice addition to a lifestyle. Some are quite realistic in terms of facial features and even have a heartbeat. The more I read, the more I realized that these dolls provided a form of companionship that some people craved.
It wasn’t long before I started to wonder what it would be like to actually take one of these dolls home and fill it up. How would it feel to have a female companion? How would I take care of her? Could I make a connection with the doll? From an emotional perspective, I wasn’t so sure.
The more I researched the concept of sex dolls, the more I thought it was an unusual world to explore. From what I had learned, it seemed like they could provide an unfeeling type of comfort for some people – but perhaps it was helpful in a way that I didn’t fully understand. I wasn’t for or against it – I was just curious.
The conversation of sex dolls can be a tricky one to navigate at times, but there are certainly a lot of fascinating aspects to consider. It seems that these inanimate companions can provide comfort to certain individuals, but I was still intrigued to learn more.
The next step in my journey was to research how people went about caring for their sex dolls. I read of people gently washing their dolls and even taking them on small outings. Although this all seemed bizarre to me, it was comforting to read of people looking after their dolls with such devotion.
While I was still skeptical about sex dolls, I couldn’t help but accept that some people felt positively about them. It seemed that in some circumstances these dolls could provide a comfort that perhaps people weren’t receiving elsewhere. After all, there must be a reason why they are so popular!
So, the next step was to talk to people who actually had them. I was sketchy about approaching the topic – until, that is, I had some people tell me how much they had benefitted from having a sex doll in their lives. Some of these people had even taken the plunge and purchased one for themselves. Amazingly enough, they even said they felt a connection.
Of course, not everyone appreciated the concept of sex dolls. I spoke with some people whose religious beliefs left them feeling uncomfortable, or who just saw them as simply a sexual object. That’s why it’s so important to think and ask questions, as this topic is a controversial one.
So what do I think of sex dolls? Well, my opinion has perhaps changed over time. While I still can’t quite grasp the concept, I’ve certainly come to see both sides. I obviously have my own beliefs, but really it’s all about personal discretion. The bottom line is that it’s up to each individual to decide what they do or don’t view as acceptable.
As a way to understand this topic further, I decided to research the implications of having sex dolls not only for the individual but for society as a whole. Was it healthy to have these dolls as companions? Would it be beneficial or damaging to people’s relationships with each other?
When considering the flip side of this coin, I quickly discovered research that showed how sex dolls had been damaging to the development of relationships and the understanding of healthy physical and emotional interactions between others. Essentially, people began to associate intimacy and feelings of closeness with plastic rather than real-life individuals.
My research led me to believe that sex dolls could be a slippery slope if taken too far. I concluded that if someone was looking for companions or a physical connection then there were better, safer options out there. Perhaps if used in moderation, these dolls could be seen as a novelty but, like anything, it’s important to find the right balance.
