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 ][ 15 ][ 16 ][ 17 ]In one particularly animated thread on Hello Dolly, doll lovers challenge misconceptions that “doll bashers” might have about who has sex with dolls and why. Here’s a distillation of their arguments, culled from more than 50 posts: Doll lovers are not to be confused with necrophiles. Remember that many doll lovers heat their dolls before using them, and necrophiles like their lovers cold. One owner, Bunster, points out that women aren’t accused of necrophilia for using dildos (“dead penises!”), so men who sleep with dolls shouldn’t be either. “There’s no difference between a dildo and a realdoll in the functional process of getting the job done,” he adds. Doll love is not an indicator of violence against women. “A rapist would get no satisfaction from a RD--- it does not resist, run or scream, or submit…” ric writes. Technoguy concedes that it is “quite possible that SOME doll owners may be having fantasies of a kinky or even sadistic nature while ‘using’ their dolls. If they are, then they apparently have some deep seated need for such thoughts/behavior. From a psychological perspective, it’s probably healthier to exercise those fantasies with a doll than a real human female who might be emotionally scared or even injured by them.” Zaneta declares, “If I go to hell/pergitory [sic)]/reincarnated as a scum sucking life form for my ownership of a doll so be it. I’m still better than a rapist, child molester, [or] murderer.” Doll lovers are not lonely geeks who can’t get real girls. Wolverine, owner of Tia, writes, “I’ve had something like 84 [girlfriends] in my lifetime, I bought a Realdoll because I thought they were awesome, not because I was hardup.” Bunster chimes in: “I’ve had some pretty f*cking gorgeous girlfriends in my time, but I’d rather have a RD than be married to any of them. The politics of relationships aren’t exactly fun most of the time – most of us tolerate it ONLY because the physical part is the pay off.” Darkland adds to the thread that casual sex has never been his thing, but he’s “still got the pesky issue of having the sex drive of a football team hopped up on methamphetamines…thanks to Real Doll, voila, problem solved.” Doll owners are capable of love: As ric writes, “We are [capable] of the emotion of love…I’ve come to the conclusion that doll owners are some of the most romantic, sensitive, sensuous people around…Many doll owners get a doll because of longing for real love. They don’t want to jump into a realtionship [sic] just for sex, and end up with a broken heart or hurting someone else when the sex fizzles. So, they get sex from a doll instead and wait for love to happen.” (Kelly suggested to me that doll owners should well be considered a new breed of sensitive male: “If you think about it, they’re the right guy to meet because they’re not going to get you into bed immediately. They’re going to be interested in you as a person.”) end of page 18 [ 18 ] read more ... [ 19 ][ 20 ][ 21 ][ 22 ][ 23 ] |
