While doing research for an article I came across Salon’s piece on guys who own Real Dolls (you’ll have to watch an ad to read it, or you can check out the extended version here).
Now, while I can understand that many of these guys may just be using them as a handy-dandy masturbation tool, I have to say that on the whole, I’m feeling a bit creeped out. Some of the guys who use Real Doll seem to have a lot of anger and resentment towards women.

“I feel safer and more secure knowing that I will never waste my time and money on another human female that just wants to use me,” said one Real Doll owner. There are stories of Real Dolls being dismembered and “ripped to shreds.” The article tells of requests for mother-duplicates and child-substitutes, and one guy who wanted a dog.
The female author seems to have a hard time researching the piece:
Hello Dolly is a place where all my worst fears about men churned in an awful froth. Here were thousands of men who love the idea of peeling a woman’s face off and replacing it with another, who revel in taking pornographic photographs of their “girlfriends” and sharing them with their friends, men who glory in sex unfettered by the daily push-pull of a relationship, men who might have little respect for the word “no.”
The maker of the Real Doll says onlookers should keep judgements to themselves, as men have many reasons for using the dolls. “What if you lived all by yourself, and what if you didn’t want or couldn’t have a relationship, and you were just lonely, and you just wanted to feel that contact?”
There’s clearly a community of Real Doll fetishists out there because there’s even a Real Doll porn site featuring two college girls who film their adventures with a silicon, Paris Hilton lookalike.
If you’re curious about what these dolls look like (or want to buy one), check out the official Real Doll site. You’ll notice that the dolls all seem to resemble porn stars, and some have atrocious fake-looking tits. Well, as fake-looking as you can get on a silicon dummy. “Real” in this case doesn’t extend to the dolls resembling real women. The maker has even vowed never to make a model with armpit hair.
There is a single male model – Charlie. I have no idea if any women have bought a doll, but I personally find him pretty unappealing. Maybe it’s the blank, Sylvester Stallone stare, or maybe it’s the way he seems to be sitting on the couch drinking beer and hogging the remote.
