Why are physical dolls so popular among men in China?

In our country, thousands of people are buying these physical dolls, which are not imagined clumsy humanoid objects, but "artificial humans" worth thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. After nearly two years of explosive growth, various brands have emerged in the market, which will be a revolution sweeping through society.

However, many people still have many questions: what is special about these dolls? Why go to extremes and buy a soulless doll?

It is reported that there are three main reasons for the purchase motivation of these physical doll customers at present. Firstly, meet physiological needs. Secondly, take photos and share them. Thirdly, cosplay collection. So, why have they suddenly become so popular? These dolls look very much like real people in appearance, and their movements are also very much like real people. Physical dolls are modern works of art, just like a woman can have a young and beautiful face, a realistic physical doll can also satisfy people's gentlest dreams and desires.

The reality is that physical dolls are more like a hobby or interest, just like skateboarding or photography, and a physical doll enthusiast expressed the same view in an interview with the media. When asked if he would consider cheaper PVC products, his disgust was quite evident. The next generation of physical dolls will use cutting-edge materials and technology, while also giving people a more realistic feeling. Another area where doll manufacturers are investing a lot of effort is developing interactive capabilities.

Another question is, in a place where the price of a doll may be one or even several months' salary, its main function is sex, which can be solved through some "free" behaviors. What is the significance of all these efforts?

As mentioned earlier, this is not just about sex, sex is just a part of it. There is an online forum related to physical dolls where people share their experiences, from how to make a plaster model of a doll's face, to how to shoot or purchase second-hand dolls. This is a legitimate and interesting group.

There has been a controversial article published claiming that the reason why physical dolls are "better" than women is that they do not resist, so people can do whatever they want with them. All of these suggest the fourth reason for purchasing these dolls: to eliminate darker emotions. All of this means that these dolls have opened the door to a bigger social problem, which began with the outdated ideas and one-child policy of the old society. The male to female ratio in China is clearly biased towards males (105.07:100), which means that there are really not many other fish in the sea, and there will be a large number of single males.

In the past decade, the division of China's population of over one billion is precisely this proportion. Then, the world's largest "matchmaking game" continues to unfold - blind dates, allowing a boy to pair up with a girl. Of course, due to various reasons such as age and sexual orientation, this is difficult, let alone the huge economic costs behind these behaviors. However, for the benefit of science, let us imagine that this is indeed happening.

If this sounds scary to you, it should be, but it's just an imagination, it's not real. The current focus is that these physical dolls actually have social functions in China. If gender imbalance continues to widen, the popularity of these products will undoubtedly help delay social, economic, and physiological issues.
