Huh? While some dildos and vibes are smooth and non-representational, a healthy percentage of dildos sold do look like humans - OK, a small portion of a human, but definitely human.
Don’t know why this should be. Man is the tool user. A sex toy is a orgasm tool.
I am 72 years old and my wife of 42 years died in March after a long series of disabling illnesses stretching over 20 years. I have been “celibate” for twenty years. I masturbated at least once a week during that time. The last five years it has not been easy, I had a triple by-pass five years ago and the medication I am on more-or-less prevents me from having an erection, or if I do manage to get one, I can’t maintain it.
I used Venus last night, on a very slow speed with my flaccid penis, while watching a movie on television. I had the most intense orgasm from Venus than from any time in my past…
I have no connection to this company, I just find them a useful example of how a high-end sex toy can have a deeply positive impact on a person’s quality of life. I’m sure the 72 year old widower would be comfortable with you feeling sad. I can’t imagine what it’s like trying to find a sex partner at 72.
Anyway… There are multiple issues if these things become so lifelike that we can’t tell the difference. Would a pedophile be allowed to walk out in public with his little 11-year-old “robo-lover”? What about PDA with the young robo-lover?

You know what? The Real Dolls should bleed. As expensive as they are, if they withstand some catastrophic damage, they should bleed to heighten the tragedy.
I feel the urge to add that I absolutely love all the “stick’n it to the Woman” responses this thread has gotten.
While I don’t honestly believe that a fancy sex toy is going to singlehandedly usher in a new era of gender relations, it’s a nice fantasy to believe that such a world might come about where all the stupid sexual politics can be wiped out and men and women can deal with one another on equal terms.
Wouldn’t it be more like NOT “stick’n it to the Woman” ?
And more seriously; the women in question aren’t women in general, but those women who are less emotionally fulfilling to have a relationship with than an inanimate object. Hopefully, that’s a minority of them.
emm. Not here. The whole MILF housefrau package isn’t really my poison. Although I’m sure a lot of Germans are into Angela Merkel too. When Thatcher was PM, whores provided a very much sought for service, dressing up as a Thatcher and administering strict disciplining to their customers. Yulia Tymoshenko is much better than any of them, but if I had to pick a leading politician’s wife I’d go for Sarkozy’s new wife. Or one of Berlusconi’s many bimbos.
Why not? Nobody is being harmed. Better a doll than a real person. Last month I saw on the TV that they were experimenting with giving idiot girls that wanted a baby, a doll baby that behaved like the real thing. E.g. woke up at night, etc. Which got the girls on better thoughts.
Maybe someone could start making life-like black dolls so racists can re-enact lynchings? We could make them writhe and scream realistically too. Brave new world, eh.
Something on the order of 5%. But they cause 90% of the grief.*
(*Within the context of the social/recreational activities that cause you to have to associate with them, I mean. The rest of the time we can pretend they don’t exist.)
Well, that would be creepy, but what would be the problem? I mean, people can write books, stage plays/scenes, make CGI lynchings, draw realistic photos, circulate photos of dead lynchees already. Do we ban those things?
Yeah. I mean the guy who hangs a dead black android from a tree is messed up. But without androids, he’d probably content himself with burning crosses on lawns or sending people nooses or putting up black dummies in trees with nooses around their necks. They’re racist and they suck, but that’s their call to make.
Where I live, re-enacting lynchings would fall foul of the Racial and Religious Hatred Act, 2006. Similarly, graphical representations of child pornography are illegal under the Children And Young Persons (Harmful Publications) Act, 1955. Obviously we have laws governing freedom of expression too, but these seem like sensible limits in my opinion. There is clearly a difference between art, literature and documenting history, and people wanting to fulfill their own warped imagination in real life.
I prefer not to take moral cues from a pedophile, and allowing people to live out their sadistic fantasies in real life is not something devoid of consequences. Public pseudo-lynchings are not a ‘good thing’.
Effigies do not necessarily incite racial hatred, but where they do, they are illegal.
The US Supreme Court disagrees with your assessment on that particular obscenity issue, having ruled that it is unconstitutional to restrict the production, sale, or distribution of child pornography that was not created through an act of child abuse (drawings, CGI effects, etc.)
Good for you. I care, why?
It is if those fantasies are lived out without actually hurting anyone.
They are if they prevent real people from being lynched instead, which is precisely what I said last time.
Not really an issue since the US Constitution and Supreme Court have little jurisdiction where I live. Regardless, they haven’t chosen the more logical and moral outcome.
I wouldn’t expect you to care.
It’s not entirely surprising that a pedophile fails to understand the concept of non-physical harm, or at least attempts to delude himself into thinking so.
It’s not preventing real people from being lynched instead. Where I live, both are illegal.
I agree that it’s sad that your jurisdiction has chosen the less logical and moral outcome. I have faith that one day they’ll recognize the merrits of free speech and move to protect it.
Good to see there’s one less delusion you need to labor under.
Not too clear on how an if-then statement works, are you?
