Sex Dolls – – I was chatting with a friend of mine the other day. I was curious to know how he had been fairing sexually being a widower for over two years. He had not remarried so he was supposed to remain celibate according to his religious beliefs. For someone who had a partner and engaged in regular sex for over 10 years, I was really curious to know how he navigated this new phase.
He explained to me that though it had been over two years since he lost his wife, he had not been able to get into another relationship because he didn’t even know how to get on the dating scene anymore. A lot of things had changed. He also couldn’t just walk up to a lady and ask for sex. His religion didn’t allow that. Besides, he wanted a deeper connection. Now, this is a real issue. Well, it didn’t end there. He confided in me that he had a sex doll locked up in his room. Now that was a shock! The sex doll could say a few words and even moan, he said. Interesting! He said he got it on his last trip to the United State of America. As much as I’m all for people seeking pleasure and not being defined by standards, I was just a little taken aback by this friend of mine.
My major concern was if he found comfort in this doll, will he still be willing to initiate and sustain a real relationship with a human? Because he didn’t only need a sexual partner, he needs a companion who he can share life with. In this regard, the sex doll is limited. It made me begin to wonder how many more men have such toys locked up somewhere. What is the implication of this?
Interestingly the dolls are not gender biased. There are male dolls for women as well. With Feminism on the rise, there will be less need for men except for sexual pleasure and these toys will fit right in. What then happens to the family structure? I am yet to hear of a sex doll having the ability to mother and nurture a child. And this is crucial to our existence.
Also, there’s little or no connection with these sex dolls because they don’t have needs. They don’t like you. They can’t think. They give back to you what you feed into them.
As much as I was able to empathise with my friend, I also cautioned that the sex doll could not be a permanent solution. He needed a real-time companion who he could share his dreams and life with, who could be a real partner and help with raising his children. I also promised to help him in that regard. I knew a few mature singles who were available and searching.
Now back to the topic. Imagine if more people acquire these dolls, I fear that dating will reduce to a minimum. Why go through the trouble of spending long hours talking to someone who may eventually turn you down when you have a sex doll at your beck and call, to do as you please. It may seem like a breakthrough in sexual pleasure and may even help curb some nuances, but it can also be a potential threat to some structures we hold dear like relationships, marriage and family.
So what is the role of religion in this matter? What is the realistic plan for widows/widowers and mature singles? Should they continue to burn? It may be a lot easier for someone who is a virgin but for someone who previously had an active sex life, what do you do.
Are sex toys allowed for solo pleasure? Is it considered a sin to have sex with a sex doll? After all, it’s not human. Besides they don’t carry any risk of sexually transmitted diseases or unwanted pregnancies. They can be seen as a safer option than engaging in sexual activities with another person. This is particularly true for those who may not be comfortable discussing their sexual desires with another person or who may not have access to condoms or other forms of protection. There is also no risk of the transference of spiritual virtue as believed in some religious quarters.
Having considered all these: Is sex with a sex doll seen as masturbation? Hold the thought. If you didn’t know. A sex doll is a type of sex toy in the size and shape of a sexual partner. It is also called a blowup doll. It can be used to increase sex drive and also for masturbatory purposes. Sex dolls have been around for a while, but they have become more lifelike and sophisticated over time with advanced technology and Artificial Intelligence.
They are more socially acceptable as the stigma surrounding sex toys has decreased and more people are exploring these options. People are becoming more open to discussing their desires and exploring new ways to experience pleasure in a safe and controlled environment. The idea of robot sex dolls taking over real-life dating may seem far-fetched, but it is not entirely impossible. As technology continues to advance, these dolls are becoming increasingly realistic and personalised, with the ability to respond to touch and voice commands, and even learn from experience. This makes them a popular choice for those looking for a sexual experience without the complications of dealing with a real person.
It is possible that in the nearest future, some individuals may prefer the companionship of a robot sex doll over a real person. To start with, they are available 24/7 and can be customised to suit individual preferences. They do not judge and there is no fear of rejection.
Still, it is crucial to consider the implications of such an eventuality. We could lose our ability to connect emotionally with others. And this could cause a further breakdown in social interactions and the rise of loneliness and isolation.
What about the impact on family and society as a whole? It is of utmost importance now more than ever to promote healthy relationships and social interactions to prevent the rise of isolation and loneliness and to keep the family structure alive. Let’s keep sex dolls strictly for pleasure purposes.
