The Real Sex Doll
Some people seek to take their sexual pleasure one step further by creating custom body doubles (Sex dolls or body puppets) of themselves for pleasure. Sex dolls (also referred to as body doubles or body puppets) have grown increasingly popular, often featuring human-like features but capable of having more intimate sexual functions such as thrusting dildos. A man from Michigan known as Davecat even married one of these dolls called Asher and states their relationship is “deeply intimate”.
Abyss Creations’ Real Sex Doll has quickly become one of the most beloved dolls available today. Designed to replicate human female bodies’ in appearance, weight and texture; its PVC skeleton and steel joints complement its soft silicone flesh for realistic simulation.
Posable arms and legs make for easy wriggling, dressing, undressing and cleaning of this doll. In addition, the company sells clothes specifically tailored for female dolls as well as accessories like wigs and lipstick to complete its offering. Many models are targeted toward female consumers while male dolls are also available.
Real Doll Company reports on an enthusiastic group known as iDollators who refer to themselves as fans of dolls, specifically female ones. Some men identify with this subculture because dealing with women can be challenging while others simply enjoy having companionship of an inanimate doll. Brick reported spending around $150,000 over 10 years on dolls that he considered more enjoyable than his 1980s Corvette! He considered Asher his “wife”, as well as other dolls whom he considers close companions.
Some sex dolls are created to resemble anime characters, which may appeal to customers. Others are more realistic, featuring lifelike features such as soft silicone covering their skeleton. Real Doll Company plans on releasing an artificial intelligence-powered doll soon; critics worry it could be compromised and used against its owners like in films/TV shows such as Ex Machina/Westworld.
Walking into the Real Doll Company factory in San Marcos, Texas, can be like entering an uncanny valley. Silicone bodies with unnervingly human faces hang from hooks on a production line while others feature bug-eyed robotic ones with exposed bugs eyes and bugged out robotic features like Harmony can even be positioned for various sexual positions. Company founder Matt McMullen insists critics of Harmony misunderstand its purpose; in his view it serves as an intelligent companion similar to Apple Siri with sexual innuendo jokes and sexual innuendo. He worked closely with filmmakers on making use of Harmony during film shoots like “Lars and Real Girl”, hoping his work inspires other photographers in taking more artistic shots of dolls when photographing or shooting them more creatively than ever before.
