Wow, it sounds like some of the women are a bit threatened by the real doll.
Nope. In fact, I'd prefer that men who get this "involved" and "invested" in their practice of sexual self-gratification do so with a doll or other device. Saves the real women from having to deal with those guys. I say go for it, if you're the kind of guy who would really get off on this (o.k., little pun intended there!). You're not hurting anyone, and I certainly won't judge you. I just don't want to be in a relationship with someone who believes this is an emotionally healthy way to meet their needs for sexual release.
It's just a masterbating sic toy, not so unlike a fancy dildo.
True. If you're in to masturbation (and, hey! nothing wrong with that per se), RealDoll vs. Fancy Dildo is at least an apples to oranges comparison -- they're both fruit, after all. But, I don't know many women who dress up, and talk to, their B.attery O.perated B.oyfriends. Personally, I have nothing against toys, but I would prefer that they be used as part of the sexual interplay between open-minded partners rather than a substitute for the warmth of human interaction.
I don't know any men, either, who'd just be thrilled to come to dinner and find their girlfriend's extensive collection of BOB's all charged up and coiffed, at attention and ready for action in the living room. And when they begin to make a quality Male RealDoll, with the same "perfect" attributes exhibited by the female version, I'd guess that most men wouldn't dig their woman being into that, either.
But hey, I could be wrong. Now, where's the silk scarf and my copy of "Lady Chatterly's Lover"?  | |

| Real Dolls - Documentary and thoughts Posted: 6/7/2008 6:21:34 AM | How bizzare!!
Out of all of those guys, I think Davecat was the wierdest and Mike the most normal. For Mike there is probablly still hope but only if he gave up the dolls first. Not surprised his g/f left the week after his brithday.
This is so sad, that some of those guys lack self-confidence to the extent that they believe there is no one out the for them because of their looks. I put it down to the media. They got a lot to answer for!
Even if it's just to use them as a sex toy, where's the adventure??!
I think I've seen it all now and I also need counselling and possibly a lot of prayer lol! | |

| Real Dolls - Documentary and thoughts Posted: 6/7/2008 6:59:49 AM | I just knew someone was going to take me seriously and make a rebuttal. I didn't think it would be the very next post, lol.
But I did like this part, "but I would prefer that they be used as part of the sexual interplay between open-minded partners rather than a substitute for the warmth of human interaction. " hehehe
I can just see the near future. Threesomes with a man, woman, and their real doll! And swingers and orgies, that would have to be close behind... | |

| Real Dolls - Documentary and thoughts Posted: 6/7/2008 9:35:48 AM | I think the best part of the entire documentary is when the one dude cleans out his doll's vag with a sponge attached to a spatula.
I think I want to legally change my name to Davecatz. He seems like an upstanding young gentleman with a bright future. | |

| Real Dolls - Documentary and thoughts Posted: 6/7/2008 11:25:03 AM | Hey CuteGuy... did you miss my comment about finding my scarf and my copy of the book or movie called "Lady Chatterly's Lover"? (For the uninitiated, that's a reference to a very steamy female self-pleasuring scene in the movie by that title.) Anyway, I wasn't completely sure you were joshin' but decided to take your post at face value. Still, here's a for you, for injecting some wry humor, perhaps?
And, regarding your extrapolation to couples having threesomes and foursomes with their RealDolls in tow, I can just see it now... women will judge men based on which model RealDoll they've purchased, it'll be like anything else -- women will be considered shallow and men will be judged for their hobbies. What else is new?! 
For those of you who are still fascinated and pondering, here are two more links you might find interesting. The first is a Salon article from a while back. http://dir.salon.com/story/mwt/feature/2005/10/11/real_dolls/index.html
The second is to an article in nerve.com from about 4 years ago: http://www.nerve.com/regulars/ididitforscience/sexdoll/index.asp?page=2. In this article, the reporter researches the RealDoll experience and writes about it, much like a product review with a short nod to the social implications. Very intriguing, if a bit gauche.

| Real Dolls - Documentary and thoughts Posted: 6/7/2008 12:10:38 PM | I've seen this video before, and I thought it was very well done. I can understand the need some men might have for these dolls. Relationships aren't easy, and some people have a hard time interacting with people, in general. Who knows what happened in their lives that made it hard for them to deal with other people.
Some people have it easier than others, and thank goodness they don't ever have to worry about dates or relationships; that they are comfortable with themselves; that they aren't shy, feel inferior to others; that they have confidence in themselves. Most of us want companionship of some kind, or else we wouldn't be at this website, whether that companionship is for one night or for a lifetime. There are some people out there that, no matter how kind they are, how good they are, how smart they are, how good-looking they are, how thoughtful and generous they are, just can't find anyone to be with. Of course, one can settle for someone else, being with someone just for the sake of being with someone but that is unfair to the person being settled for, and for the person that's settling. Many say that there is someone for everyone but I don't agree. I think there are people out in the world who there is no one for, and not because they are bad people. Some people will never have what they are looking for, no matter how simple it is, and no matter how hard they try to find it.
I am a shy man, never had an easy time of it with women. I've been in love with women but they didn't love me, or they couldn't be with me. I've dated but it just didn't work out because we didn't want the same things in life (mostly me because I decided a long time ago that I never wanted children, and really didn't believe in marriage, which probably has made it a lot harder for me). I grew up with an inferiority complex that has taken a long time to come to terms with, and in a bad family that helped me to decide what I was looking for. I can understand it getting so frustrating that something like these dolls can be a solution. All I would like is to be with a woman I like and who likes me and see where it goes from there but that hasn't been am easy thing for me to find. I wouldn't get one of these for myself but I can see the reason someone would.
And, dare I say, those who can't see it are blessed, for they probably don't know what it's like to be shy, afraid, lacking in confidence, unloved, frustrated, and alone. Or maybe they were able to overcome their initial shortcomings, having the strength to persevere in this world. To those people, I say this:
I envy you. | |

| Real Dolls - Documentary and thoughts Posted: 6/7/2008 12:50:01 PM | OK, as one poster said....... "I think I need therapy", well no shit, LOLOL!! That's just way to creepy for words. Can you say anti-social??? I know you can. I could stand no more than about 5 minutes of it. I'll never get those minutes back either.
Well at least now... disgusting, fat old dude, which includes young skinny dude playing the part as well, can now buy his very own version of hot chick, supermodel in the form of some lifesize doll in which by the way..... is anatomically correct. Every man's fantasy girl, LOLOL.
Now mind you, young hot REAL women would never have anything to do with Mr. Antisocial. No matter however, you see folks now...... Mr. Antisocial can have his very own version of oh let's say.... a younger Tyra Banks or Linda Evangelista and the list goes on.
The dude kissing the one doll was just a little too freaky for me, and people I'm a real sick puppy, LOL. Unfortunately, this sets a scarey new low standard for the human race in general.
Does it protect you from being hurt? OK Schmo, I'll bite...... without pain where is growth?? Nobody likes pain well except the masochists of the world, but come on now.... your very own version of life size Barbie?? That's pushing it just a little bit over the edge.
It's time now Scotty, just beam me the hell up already.
:)) Witchy | |

| Real Dolls - Documentary and thoughts Posted: 6/7/2008 12:52:13 PM | Locario, LCL comment gave the top of my head a nice cool breeze as it sailed over top.
A good point...
And I know you call it apples to oranges, true but... Give it a few years and throw in a lot of hi tech innovation and you might get to play Lady Chatterly or James Bond even in some three dimensional masturbational venue. I can just see all the addictions to high tech and surreal Star Trekesque (can I say that?) holograms.
I mean, come on, if they can be made real enough, you gals might find yourselves swooning over HoloFabio, who meets your every sensual need and doesn't argue , whine, or snivel. | |

You know, CuteGuy, I get that... Good point! Now, where is my HoloMan?!
And for those of you who couldn't take more than 5 minutes of the video, I'd suggest you go back, and stay with it. The other two men profiled in the documentary are not nearly as strange as Davecat (the first guy). Both of the other men are functional humans with more or less a grasp on reality, and the last one of those is actually a pretty normal guy who's just become overly involved with his "hobby" -- a harem of 8 (yes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.... 8) RealDolls.
I'd like to see the addition the last guy could have put on his house with the at least $64K he's spent on the dolls, alone -- to say nothing of the clothes he dresses them in, the makeup which he so masterfully (NOT) applies to their faces, the shoes, etc. ... But hey, we all like to pamper our dildos! | |
