Real Dolls: Love in the Age of Silicone Meghan Laslocky -- 10/17/2005  [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ][ 5 ][ 6 ][ 7 ][ 8 ][ 9 ][ 10 ][ 11 ][ 12 ][ 13 ][ 14 ]I tracked one doll’s movement through eBay via Fiero. “Tony,” a government employee in Texas, bought “Amanda,” an attractive brunette doll with seemingly puppy-chewed fingers, for $3,050 from Fiero. Tony said he bought her to help him stay faithful to his girlfriend, who was doing time for DUI. Sadly for Amanda, Tony found her “cute” but unarousing. “It’s not for me,” he said of his one attempt to penetrate her, 45 minutes after she arrived at his doorstep in her crate. He added that he would soon put her back on eBay. “The whole experience was weird,” he said. “I just want it to be over.” But some of Fiero’s anecdotes are the stuff of horror films. Fiero once got an email from two garbage collectors who found a Real Doll hacked to pieces in a dumpster. One doll owner wanted to offload his doll onto the Real Doll Doctor for $1,500, and Fiero countered that he’d only pay for her upon seeing her. He says he called the owner as soon as he opened her crate and beheld her condition. “’You motherfucker, you owe me for shipping,’” he says he told him. “The jaw in the doll was still in her skull, but behind her neck. Her hands were ripped off and fingers were missing. Her left breast was hanging on by a thread of skin, like your bra strap,” he tells me. Another time, the owner of a one-year-old doll, an Asian undergraduate student at a prestigious university in California, brought his doll to Fiero for repairs. Fiero says the man told him that his parents bought him the doll so that he would stay at home and study rather than go out chasing women. Fiero documented the doll’s injuries on his web site: her leg was torn off, revealing the steel hardware of her hip joints; an arm hung by an inch of silicone flesh; two fingers were severed; and the cleavage between her buttocks was torn into a ragged crevasse. “Her vagina was so blown out,” he says. “I was appalled. I couldn’t believe someone could fuck something like that up so quickly. It blew me away. How could somebody be so callous?” “I was offended in so many ways. He put her feet behind her head and reamed that doll with whatever cock he’s got. He fucked her violently. She was achieving positions she shouldn’t achieve or be forced to try. Her vagina and anus were a giant gaping hole.” Fiero says he’ll never again make repairs for the man he calls JTR -- Jack the Ripper. Taboos McMullen suggests that whatever motivates the love-doll market – fetishism or loneliness – ultimately it’s all about people indulging their secret side. “Most people go through their whole lives and keep it subdued, but everybody has a thing that gets ‘em off, I guess that’s the way to say it. And some people use this doll as a means to explore something that otherwise they may never explore,” he says. end of page 15 [ 15 ] read more ... [ 16 ][ 17 ][ 18 ][ 19 ][ 20 ][ 21 ][ 22 ][ 23 ] |
