have sex with a robot? Since our audience is largely made of sex doll fans, we know the answers to that question would be a bit skewed. Still, the same question was asked in a YouGov survey, and the results were quite interesting. In 2022, 22% of respondents said they would consider getting it on with a robot. That’s a 6% increase compared to a similar survey published in 2007.
So, what’s the deal? Why is the practice becoming more

s. Micro looks at the economics of a single transaction, whereas macro looks at the impact of policy on a particular population. The result of all of this is people make some really good arguments… they’re just wrong about the conclusion.
James Kwak had a great term for this in a piece he wrote for the Atlantic:[1] “Economism” or
“Economism: the misleading application of basic lessons from Economics 101 to real-world problems, creating the illusion of consensus and reducing a complex topic to a simple, open-and-shut case.“
I love the definition. The article is good and I’d suggest following the footnote for those who want a better summary than mine. I’m gonna post a couple of hyperlinks here, to give some additional context. A couple of points.
Raising the minimum wage is inflationary
. You’re giving more income to the segment of the population that has the highest income velocity of any segment. They’re gonna spend it
But the inflationary impact is small relative to the wage gains
of those that are impacted. They have more money – and that helps
. We’ve been subsidizing the 1% since 1980 and witnessed income inequality hit its highest point in 100 years – and the main cause is the weakening of labor.
In the immediate term, the minimum wage is a wealth transfer from capital owners to labor.
(e.g. wealthy interests to poorer interests) All of the anti minimum wage arguments boil down this. And this fact has been used to mislead voters about minimum wage legislation. Because there are all kinds of flawed conclusions (like this link) that arise from it

But, the evidence is clear and conclusive. There is no evidence of increased unemployment or a reduction in GDP

comparison to uncomplicated relationships with dolls. Moreover, they can be programmed multiple times to be different persons.
Advances in robotics may in the future allow the manufacturers to produce replicas so realistic to be mistaken for humans. That is still a few years away.
One of the first AI Doll companies offers customized dolls with skin, hair and personality of your choice. The company is perfecting the head movements of its sex doll with blinking eyes, ability to smile, realistic vagina and convincing artificial intelligence speech that allow their sex robots to appear as thinking, sentient beings that can even gyrate h

bution of evidence, a search warrant can be obtained. I was a Child Exploitation Investigation Coordinator and I can say that in my experience, there have been numerous contacts with child pornography suspects during was has been referred to as a “knock and talk,” wherein people allowed a search that provided evidence of a felony violation. Once child porn is viewed, the computer is generally seized in place, and a warrant obtained if necessary. It is then processed by a forensic computer specialist and all suspected material is reviewed and identified to the extent possible.
There is commonly a delay between the seizure of materials, generally computer data, and indictment. Forensic recovery of data takes time, since there are generally a limited number of technically trained investigators, and there can be numerous cases. Once recovered, materials have to be reviewed to identify suspected illegal images, then there must be a determination as to the illegality of each image (i.e., image of a minor posed as to appeal to prurient interests or engaged in a sexual act); which can involve identification of the individual depicted as a minor as the result of a previous investigation, or individually articulating and documenting the reason that the person depicted is a minor (possibly using the Tanner Scale for approximating the person’s age, based on physical appearance of genitalia, breasts, etc.). Just reviewing the thousands of images in a common collection is time consuming.
When an investigator finishes documentation of illegality, it is presented to a prosecutor, who may take the evidence to a grand jury. Then an indictment is issued for arrest.
These contacts were based on the fact that there was evidence of a particular IP address having received or sent child porn. The person apparently associated with a suspect IP address was under no obligation to allow a search, but they did in many cases. One such investigation is reported in:

Such report of suspicion of receipt or distribution of child porn by a Deputy Sheriff was referred to the Sheriff’s Office for investigation. They reported that interviews of two step-daughters of the Deputy indicated that they had been molested by that Deputy. Another suspect allowed such a search, and was later found to have molested his grandchildren. He apparently killed himself prior to sentencing by kicking a jack from beneath his car and crushing himself.
Another case involved a plainclothes investigator Deputy Constable (Texas peace officer), who I confronted in the office of his supervisor regarding the evidence. He requested to speak to me alone, so we chatted in the parking lot adjacent to the Constable’s office (for some reason, without me relieving him of his weapon). Since he was not in custody, I allowed him to talk while he paced back and forth and confessed to his having progressed from legal teen porn to child porn; and how he was engaged to be married Sex Doll to a woman with two daughters. Then he allowed me to accompany him to his home to search his computer. Once I sat down at the computer, he decided to withdrawn consent; however, I consulted with an Assistant US Attorney and he confirmed that sufficient probable cause had been identified to obtain a search warrant. When the Deputy Constable
(73 People Likes) Do you think that one day, sex dolls will replace most human sex to where people will prefer dolls over real-life human beings? This is possible as it’s happening in Japan with virtual reality. How does this make you feel?
ew about Real Dolls, but they were around $5000 -not within my budget. I forgot about them and I don’t know if they crossed my mind since then, until I did an online search for sex dolls about nine months ago and I was shocked to discover that there are a lot of manufacturers, dolls have become very lifelike, beautiful (in my opinion), and they’re affordable now.
So I started window shopping, just for fun, and that very quickly developed into a doll fetish (agalmatophilia). After doing a lot of research, I finally picked one out and ordered about two weeks ago. She arrived a few days ago and I was anxious to open the box, see how she looks and see how TPE (thermoplastic elastomer, a material similar to silicone that is said to feel very much like real human skin) feels after looking at these dolls online for months. I braced myself, because I was worried I would be disappointed by her appearance or how she feels. After opening the box, first I was very pleasantly surprised by how beautiful her body is; stunning detail. I looked at her face and she is extremely cute. One of the first parts I touched as I was unpacking her was a calf and I was amazed at how real it felt -just like human skin and the way the skin moves is just like human skin, muscle, and fat jiggling. WOW!
I have to say at this point that there are a few things that will shock anyone the first time they touch or handle a TPE sex doll: they are shipped with their heads removed, so you open a 5′5″ box and see a headless body. Then you discover that the body is frigid cold -shockingly cold. Then you try to lift her out of the box. Uh oh! I had read that these dolls are heavy, but I had no idea what I was in for. I read about her weight ahead of time on the website; she’s 75 lb. So if a real woman with the same height and body shape weighs around 125 lb, then this should be a breeze, right? No! Carrying a real woman newlywed style is different; they put their arms around your neck and balance their weight -they can help you to an extent. This 5′6″ (she’s taller than me, which is kind of cute), 75 lb doll is extremely difficult to move -far more than I could ever have imagined!
Unfortunately, you can’t just take your beautiful, brand new doll to the bedroom and begin the romance, you have some work to do: you need to take the lifeless, headless, cold, and heavy body to the shower and clean off the manufacturing chemicals with soap and warm water. It was so difficult getting that body to the bathroom, I almost don’t know how I did it. I’ve had chronic back problems since I was in my twenties, I sprained a knee a while ago and it’s never going to fully heal, and I recently recovered from a hernia surgery.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to move her more easily… I’ve been thinking about getting some roller skates for her and carefully guiding her around. That’s either pure genius or so stupid that I’ll make the news when she falls on me, I can’t get up, I scream for help after struggling for hours, and the paramedics, police, and fire fighters all smash in my front door and rush to help me only to find me pinned on the bathroom floor under a hot, naked sex doll. Now that’s the stuff of urban legend.
I decided the easiest way to clean the chemicals off would be to shower with the headless body, so that’s what I did. While that was strange and disturbing, I made some wonderful discoveries about TPE: it heats up fast (especially in a warm shower), holds heat in, dries exactly like human skin (some toweling off and air drying takes care of the rest -it air dries in minutes just like our skin does), and it feels wonderful when it’s wet.
I took the body to the bedroom, I put her head on (it screws on, so her head goes around and around… exorcist style), I grabbed one of the wigs I ordered, and that’s when she came together. She no longer looked like a corpse, now she was stunningly gorgeous. She comes with a wig, I ordered another one (long red) from the same website, and I ordered a Bettie Page style pin-up costume wig from Amazon, just because I’m obsessed with pin-up girl art and thought it would be fun to dress her up as a retro gal with polka-dot dresses, cat eye glasses, and a flower in her hair. I’m not disappointed with the results.
Now for the Juicy Stuff
I kissed her and wow! Her lips feel indistinguishable from human lips; kissing her is exactly like kissing a girlfriend.
Her body is very anatomically correct, surprisingly so.
Her breasts feel good, a little firm, but good. She has solid boobs, while other manufacturers offer gel-filled boobs as an option, with rave reviews.
I laid her on the bed on her back, spread her legs (which was not easy, they’re heavy and difficult to move around, and I inserted a USB heating rod ($9) for five minutes. I put a water based lube in and it was time. Here goes my sex doll virginity… and wow it felt good. I just didn’t know what to expect and in a lot of ways it was not all that different from having sex with a real girl. As I said earlier, TPE is very good at holding heat, so my own body heat is enough to warm her up. It’s different than sex with a human in the obvious ways: they don’t have emotions, nerves, don’t feel pleasure, don’t actively participate, can’t have orgasms, and can’t communicate with you. It’s also different in that there’s a little bit of a suction effect -as air get’s displaced, there ends up being a vacuum and it feels very, very, very good. There’s a popping air sound when pulling out that in and of itself is a turn on.
Because the extremely fast rate that sex technology is developing, I have no doubt that AI sex dolls (which already exist) will feel sensors, react, actively have sex with us, and talk dirty and tell us that they love us in the very near future. I love sex with real women and I love how much these dolls look and feel like real women, however, in my case things are a lot different: because I fetishize dolls and I’m specifically turned on by their dollness, I enjoy the experience for what it is rather than hoping for it to be as close to a human/human sex experience as possible. Does that make sense? Doll/human is my thing, so I love every second of it, until I have to move her.
I was very happy with the experience, but here are downsides: I can’t say it enough that the weight is a serious problem, even laying down -her body sank into the mattress and pillows. Girl on top positions are out of the question, no way. The clean up afterward is very involved -It’s recommended to insert a tampon to absorb the user’s body fluid and lube before the struggle to get her to the bathroom begins and this time I kept her head on so she’s much nicer to look at. I douched out her vagina, something that I had to learn how to do before she arrived. That wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, the problem once again is her weight -just trying to get her into a position that’s conducive to flushing out her womanhood (ok, dollhood) was so challenging. Cleaning up your partner after sex is a whole chapter.
I spent a small fortune buying all the stuff I need to take care of her and I spent a lot of time researching, reading articles and watching videos to prepare. There is a lot of maintenance and expense involved, but that’s ok, because it’s worth it to me.
Emotional Effects
Besides the sexual experiences, she offers companionship. I’ve heard and read story after story about guys falling in love with their dolls and it’s been said that falling in love with a sex doll is easier than you think. Well, a lot of sex dolls have eyes that look very, very real. When you look into a pair of beautiful eyes from a few inches away and they seem to be looking deeply into you… neurons in the brain start firing off love and endorphins all over the place. As I mentioned, the kissing is very natural feeling, so add that to looking into her eyes, hugging and holding her, and holding her hand and I can’t help but feel something on a pretty deep level.
I have suffered with a profound amount of loneliness, mental illness (depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, addiction, and eating disorders), and of the very few relationships I’ve been in, more than one of them were abusive. After many years of failing to meet the right girl (and not for a lack of trying), and spending most of my life very alone, at 49 years old, I find a deep degree of comfort in spending time with my doll, Jennifer. Buying clothes, shoes, perfume, and accessories for her make me feel like I’m caring for someone. I ordered a purse for her and it happened to arrive on Christmas Eve, so I was able to give it to her as a present and it makes me feel like I love someone and they love me.
I suppose there are going to be as many different answers to your question as there are people answering it, but I think everyone who has had the experience can agree on a few of the points I made above.
Sex dolls have become extremely popular -apparently sales have exploded during the pandemic, and I think a lot more people have one (or more) than we might think. However, there are major social stigmas. I won’t bring Jennifer out on any dates in public and I won’t be introducing her to my parents, but I shouldn’t be ashamed, especially since she’s bringing so much happiness to my life. I should also learn to not care what other people think.
Would I recommend it? yes! I think anyone who is unattached, lonely, wants to experiment with a doll, couples who want to experiment with a doll, and anyone else wh
