1. Howard Stern use to have one on his old radio show
The day they got it, each of the guys on the show took turns using her in the bathroom.

6. Holy crap.
Ew, ew, ew. I hope that if I ever run across an interesting man who's "played" with one of those, that he tells me from the get-go so I can walk away.

That freaks me out. Screwing a doll. :puke:

9. Sure you did.
:evilgrin: Are you sure you weren't searching for a "relaxing and comforting companion"? :rofl: Or how about "real penis"?

Yes, I looked it over thoroughly. Couldn't help myself. :blush:

11. Ok, a sex doll is somehow "gross"...
Edited on Thu Feb-21-08 04:18 PM by ALiberalSailor
...yet a latex rubber cock named "Jack Rabbit" is perfectly normal and healthy? I've never used one of these dolls, but I fail to see the difference between the two. :shrug:

about it being a sex doll.

18. I'm in agreement with you about the jack rabbit.
However the rubber dick is just that, a dick. The doll is a fake human being. Presumably one looks deeply into her eyes and caresses her while...

Again: ew.

33. HBO's 'Real Sex' had a feature on these a few years ago
There was one guy who put his RealDoll™ in every-day situations — like he'd dress "her" for dinner, seat "her" at the table and talk to "her" while he ate, and seat "her" on the sofa so "she'd" be there to greet him when he got home from work, whereupon he'd tell "her" how his day went.

This isn't it, but it's similar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qftmVh-11o

I don't find this so much creepy as pathetic. I can easily identify with loneliness, but it's hard to understand an adult mind that finds companionship (much less anything else) in a well-crafted mass of latex.

42. Well, I guess I get companionship from my cat.
When I try to have sex with it, then it becomes creepy.

One of the comments under that video is by a guy who says some males can't have relationships because they are scarred, or have thick glasses, and therefore the doll is a viable solution. I'm trying to put myself in the same position... sleeping with a male doll. At first it's just "sex, sex, sex" but eventually it's really companionship. Uh. NO. Creepy.

49. Yeah, Lucy gives me luvvins
But not that kind. :scared:

I guess it is a viable solution for the guys who use it as one. But, like I said, I just can't understand that. Seems to me it'd be more degrading than being lonely.

doesn't help with his loneliness. That would scare me off for sure!

20. Oh, there's a difference!
The jack-rabbit and other such devices are just toys... they only simulate one organ.

An entire body? CA-REEPY!

...because I see just using "the essential organ" to be kinda creepy. Very Lorena Bobbitt like.

we just don't have the ability to simulate the desired organ with our hands... like y'all do. :)

Okay well... skinny, short organs... that we can do, unless we have huge man-hands. :7

But c'mon... a lady's fingers? That's not right!

Actually, that's kind of a sore subject with me. I have friends that are ALWAYS talking shit about little dicks, and it pissses me off. They'd all be pissed off if a guy went off like that about little boobs... but the reverse? Oh that's just FINE! Argh! Now I'm grouchy! :P

30. ********** I'm changing my position, no pun intended, on this particular issue **********
So I just had to look at www.realdoll.com, and see what all the fuss is about. A simple, anatomically correct blow-up doll is one thing, but that is some seriously creepy, "Cherry 2000" stuff going on right there. And of course, being the guy I am, I had to know, just had to know how much one of these "toys" costs. Almost $7,000.00!!!! Holy hell.

but at a certain point you get an uncanny valley + extreme creepiness thing goin' on... and I think your link pretty much covers that.

53. I am referring to a documentary about women with 'reborns'
http://www.boingboing.net/2008/02/12/documentary-about-wo.html

Channel 4 has a documentary series called Living Doll: My Fake Baby, about women who keep ultra-realistic dolls, known as reborns. They dress them up and take them out shopping and for walks in strollers.

It is the same in the context of fulfilling a sometimes overwhelming biological urge.

Sorry last message was so vague.
