There’s some overlap. Surely you’re familiar with love dolls? Those with enough money and ordinary human-looking dolls don’t do it for them can have virtually any species made, with virtually any proportions. ---

I don’t think anyone has mentioned snuff fetishes. They don’t work too well, at best only once. ---

> [@Deeg](#): > > I don’t think anyone has mentioned snuff fetishes. They don’t work too well, at best only once. Yeah, they are a little tough on the partner. You don’t want to do it in your home because the clean up sucks. And I know from tv/books that if you do it in an empty warehouse or in the woods, there is _always_ someone lurking around to see you. Then there’s the whole police thing, that’s a lot of stress. I think this one qualifies as not working well in real life. > [@panache45](#): > > That’s what slaves are for. That’s a much better idea. Cheaper too! Maids are crazy expensive. . ---
