Be A Doll, Would You?

Sex dolls. Love dolls. Dutch wives. Realdolls. Candy Dolls. Time, sexual fantasy, and silicon march ever onward. If Thomas Alva Edison were alive today, perhaps he would be helping Matt figure out how to get better audio-animatronic action out of his Realdolls. (VERY creepy seeing these headless torsos hanging around the shop on chains, but I do understand those dolls are heavy.)

Anyway, I wasn’t planning to revisit my passing mention of sex dolls from my earlier futanari story, but this recent news story on sex dolls caught my eye. The article confuses the inflatable dolls with the silicon dolls a bit, but here’s the important novelty: sex doll rental. Yes, apparently you can rent an inflatable doll in a gym bag, ready to travel and blow up, or you can rent a room that already has a silicon sex doll waiting there for you.

I can’t read Japanese, but I did find this company that both sells and rents dolls with a very hentai look. They are all available with small, medium, or large boobage. And really, it’s worth the visit to their site just to see the Flash video demonstration of hands squeezing those silicon breasts.

And how much does it cost to own those squeezable breasts? If you have to ask, you probably need to borrow on your 401k. Of course, if all you’re after is something to squeeze or boink, Realdoll sells headless dolls as well. $1500 will get you everything from the neck down to just below the hip bone (no arms, no head, no legs). Or, if you’re really maxed out on online poker, $1000 gets you… well, just above the bellybutton to just below hip bone. Five skin tones. Available natural, trimmed, or shaved. Eww. Way too Boxing Helena for my taste.

Of course, there are those of us who have grown up with the amusing thought, if not the gaping-mouthed under $35 reality of the more traditional blow-up dolls. For you, I offer the instant nostalgia of video instruction on how to date a blow-up doll.

Or blow-up goat.

Comments:

• Boxing Helena!! wow i didn’t think anybody’d seen that movie but me.

  way freaky yes, but it does bring to mind a question. how come disembodied female parts (pocket pussies, aforementioned torsos, groin-area-mimicking masturbators, etc.) are viewed with much more… distaste than disembodied penises? (dildoes, vibrators, stick-it-up-your-whatsit doohickeys of many types)

  even the simple sleeve type toys (what i usually mean when i say “pocket pussy") are usually looked at with a little curiosity, ad and a lot of, “um.. that’s weird. no thanks...”

  vibrators and other kinds of stand-alone cocks barely garner a second look.

  what’s your take on that?

• I suppose the most obvious answer is that our perception has been influenced by porn. I had never seen video of a guy using a Fleshlight until Shay posted a link to one a few weeks ago. Men masturbating isn’t a hetero porn staple and needs to be in the mix.

  Then there’s the perception thing. There’s this notion that a woman can go out and get cock any time she wants, so having an artificial one in her bedside table isn’t a mark against her. Whereas a man who needs artificial pussy… is a man who can’t get real pussy.

  Finally, no one cares about the disembodied cock as a metaphor. Men grow up thinking their cock is this alien creature with a mind of its own. So someone has put that idea into a vibrator or silicon? So what?! A disembodied pussy is a disconnect that women don’t feel and resent when they think that’s how men see them. Seeing it played out in lifelike silicon can’t be easy.

  But really… the Realdoll torso chunks are creepy.

• I think you and I should pool our funds and rent a silicone doll for a weekend! ^_^

  Also, regarding your little comment convo above, I think it might also have to do with the odd attitude towards men masturbating; it’s widely accepted, yet considered icky, whereas women masturbating is considered less common but super hot.

• Check out a uk tv show called japanarama that deals with this subject on it current series (series 3). You should find it on Uknova or torrentspy.

• Great recommendation, BRP! I was able to find that video online last night. It’s Japanorama, Series 3, Episode 2. The theme of the show is Japan’s gender conflicts and covers topics other than the love dolls, including air sex, host bars, etc.

• Hey… been a while since I’ve stopped by. I’m still amused and by how real some of these dolls look, and how much like anime characters others look. Mostly i think it’s just the cuteness factor on the Japanese dolls is way overboard. Like they’re little girls with breasts or something.

  And hey! Leave my goats out of this! hehe

• Saw your URL in SiteMeter, and thought I’d check in—and you’ve redesigned the site. It looks good. I haven’t been posting as frequently as I would like, for reasons I hope to be able to write about this summer, but Viewing the Local Antiquities has not gone dark…
