It certainly took me a few moments, admittedly, to wrap my head around the concept and its implications. After all, it has the potential to shake-up a traditional industries such as adult entertainment in ways we’d never imagined. I did a bit of research and found out they were made of realistic materials, and even had heaters installed inside to make them warm to the touch. The idea of that was mind-blowing to me!
No longer was it necessary to pay for an escort or ‘lady of the night’ as they used to call it. That, by itself, is a game changer. On top of that the idea of having someone to talk to when you don’t want to be alone and who won’t ask for anything in return was something that definitely appealed to me. So in a way, sex doll technology seems to have a human-relational aspect, which I find fascinating.
To me, sex dolls also raised the issue of blurring the boundaries between what’s real and what’s fake. Most people don’t have a problem with liking a fictional character in a video game or a movie. But things are even more complicated when talking about a high-tech sex doll because of the freedom they give you to explore desires that you wouldn’t feel comfortable expressing, even with another person.
At the same time, there is incredible potential for genuine bonding between humans and non-human intelligent companions. I’m not claiming that sex dolls can replace true human relationships or that they can take the place of loved ones. But if programmed properly, sex dolls could give positive feedback and even give emotional support when a person needs it.
It’s fascinating to think that we’re on the cusp of a wave of technological revolution, dildos with male sex dolls leading the way. It’ll be exciting to follow where this will go from here and to witness the potential it has to turn traditional industries on their heads. It’s certainly something that’s giving people food for thought and it’ll be interesting to see what direction this will take in the future.
