The adult toy industry is booming at an unprecedented speed. According to statistics, in the past 2020, the global market value reached $50 billion, and one of the most expensive toys on the market is the physical doll.
These lifelike works are becoming more and more popular, and the exquisite ones even reach 100000 yuan. The sales of physical dolls are not only hot, but also around the world, experience museums that can inspect physical dolls are springing up. The documentary "Adult Industry: Me and My Physical Dolls" of Channel 5 of the United States explored the world of these dolls in depth.
Minghao (alias) has three physical dolls, but he is a bit unusual. The single person who has been married for three times spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy Shuruibao entity dolls. These dolls have pointed ears and green skin, and are Minghao's forever partners.
But Minghao, who has been collecting these dolls in the past few years, does not follow people's imagination. He explained: "They are dolls, but I don't think so. This is enough for me. We will take pictures together. Occasionally I feel that I am betraying them. I know it sounds strange, but this is my idea."
Minghao will hold his dolls and "talk" to them when he comes home from work at night. He describes that the money spent on these dolls can already buy a BBA luxury car.
Minghao said, "I have always been interested in dolls, which is a fetish. I found that their appearance is very expressive, and each different style seems to express some different stories to me. I have been married three times, but someone around me has always made me feel uncomfortable, and I need my own space. They sat quietly there until we decided to do something together."
Every doll of Minghao has its own photo album and microblog, because he insists that every doll has its own personality. He said: "I don't want to be without them. They can give me a good hug, gentle and quiet. This is a comforting thing."
"I don't like to fall in love. They have changed my life. I have never been so happy."
Minghao decided to leave some money in his will to take care of these dolls when he died. He said, "I'm ready to take care of them after leaving home. I can't let them bury with me. It's like burying yourself with your own hands."

Brick also has strong views on the role of dolls in preventing social phobia and communication. He believes that if more people can touch dolls, depression, anxiety and manic-depression will be greatly reduced.
