Another thing that scares me about this, and I’ve probably been watching too many movies, but what if in a few years the dolls become actual womin! With feelings, like in that movie with the robots coming to life, who don’t want to have sex with them (and really, who would?)? They’d be like test-tube babies, but that doesn’t mean they can’t feel! I’m actually scared for the test-tube-robot babies now.

But I doubt this would stop men treating womin like shit. They think of womin as objects they can own; they’d probably want someone stronger to put up a legitimist fight, just to prove their “manhood” or whatever lame ass term the menz are bandying about.

“I dunno. I kinda suspect that the men who are buying these are in no danger of actually being in the company of real women, at least, not for any extended period of time. They might be the type who go to sex workers–since what they provide is essentially the same as this robot.”

I tend to think that if this doll would keep creepy men from exploiting the very ‘real’ women who are prostituted, then that would actually be an advantage.
Unfortunately, as it is, Tall-in-Heels is probably right.

If the developers add a little more in the way of Gigs, Ram and programing the founders of the town of Stepford who survived the “Revenge of the Stepford Wives” would probably be eager to have a pre-programmed life-like sexy robot wife. It seems creepy to me. How can one enjoy being watched and interacted with by an android or high end mannequin unless they are totally insecure megalomanic control freaks. Welcome to a real world Stepford Wives sequel. Now where did my fuck doll wander off to?

As if James Franco’s 30 Rock turn as a man in love with a Japanese body pillow with an anime woman rather than a flesh-and-blood woman was not creepy (although hilarious) enough…

There is a 4 part documentary on YouTube about the Real Dolls and I actually felt a little sick while reading about it. After seeing it, I think that the majority of men interviewed will be chomping at the bit to get an interactive doll.

One man went on and on about how horrible and bitchy real women are, but he’d prefer one if he could get one. Another man, who owned 7- SEVEN!!!- Real Dolls actually started dating a human woman. They filmed the “meeting” where she finds out and sees the dolls for the first time. She said that she would stick it out and the dolls weren’t a reason to leave. After filming (one week later, I think?) she left him. I can’t blame her…

Also, interesting factoid: you don’t have to clean them that often according to one user. You just wait until it starts to smell. YUCK.
