Physical dolls: Is it really easier to ＂fall in love＂ with dolls?

The progress of technology means that the former dystopian fantasy is closer to reality than ever before. But is the rise of physical dolls worth worrying about?

 

We have seen that physical dolls can make sounds, blink, warm up, and have fine limbs, which will soon satisfy people's best fantasies. Science and technology have finally caught up, and the once fantasized dystopian fantasy is gradually becoming a mature reality.

 

The Chinese engineer was deeply attracted by the physical doll he created. After two months of "dating", he married her in the presence of his family. The appearance of physical dolls has also attracted the attention of the academic community. British ethicist Dr. Catherine Richardson suggested banning physical dolls, especially those that look like human beings.

 

She said: "If people think that they can establish an intimate relationship with an unnatural life, it shows how we view the relationship with real people." Of course, the idea that physical dolls might be a viable alternative to human intimacy is somewhat disturbing.

 

However, according to reports, the production and improvement of physical dolls are still going on rapidly. This high-end plastic product has a flexible and soft body, a real and beautiful appearance, and the price ranges from thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan. There are many styles and patterns to choose from, and they can obtain what the doll manufacturers call "high points".

 

In the past 2019, physical doll experience stores have sprung up like mushrooms. Physical dolls are not new. In the ancient 17th century, Dutch sailors relied on them for months at sea. But this once luxurious and expensive toy can now speak and participate in dialogue, so the leap from desire to spirit is so huge.

 

Then, just like the fate of the role played by Jacquen Phoenix in the film She. It is believed that for those who buy and "date" physical dolls, maintaining their own ideas and irreversible thinking will become a challenge: the complexity of interpersonal relationships is too difficult to handle.

 

Possible alternatives

 

The physical doll has not been popularized on a large scale, but it has become a complicated and thorny problem. Because of the materialization of women, the world we live in is already full of tension, violence and difficulties.

 

Can physical dolls really replace people? In a 2010 survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Labor, which is responsible for health care and social security in Japan, it was found that 36% of Japanese men aged 16-19 were not interested in love, which doubled in two years. The emergence of virtual/digital partners is generally considered as the reason for their lack of enthusiasm to interact with women in real life.

 

A docile, beautiful and even vocal physical doll must be creepy. However, most technological advances are terrible in nature. If you walk into your partner's house and see it, you will not test it as a novel adult toy, but more think it is a signal that you are in a real emotional or physical problem.

 

This is the time when people encounter obstacles in their "let nature take its course" attitude towards adult sex. But on the other hand, why bother about technological progress that may bring happiness to others? Why not regard it as an outlet for release?

 

Of course, anything that allows a person to express himself emotionally, even towards an inanimate object, is a step in the right direction.

 

In the documentary Love Me, Love My Doll, Slade Filo repaired the physical doll. He said: "I had a customer from Berkeley who was so violent to the doll that he pulled its leg off. Its lower leg, below the knee, looks like a knife wound. It's hard to imagine what this guy did to the doll."

 

The intimate relationship between human beings is wonderful and complex. Two or more people have made an inexpressible description of their relationship. Of course, the progress of science and technology is impressive. Maybe one day someone will be able to standardize the happy story with dolls.
