Seventy percent of the world's adult products are made in China, including silicone dolls.

They are even more beautiful than humans, with long legs, narrow waists, large breasts, narrow shoulders and small faces. They can be sexy, beautiful and healing, and many men dream of finding a lover. The image of a lover, a wife, can live in the body of a silicone doll whenever the need arises.

In addition to being single, 30-40% of the silicone doll user base has a girlfriend and family. So is a silicone doll a sex toy or a human companion? Can it replace a real person emotionally? Does its presence have an impact on real-world intimacy?

How do you define a silicone doll?

Silicone dolls, also known as solid dolls and erotic dolls, are highly realistic erotic objects whose great function is to provide sexual services. In the past, there have been many films and reports about inflatable dolls. With the revolution in technology and the evolution of materials, there are now silicone dolls. The need for more sexual fantasies, such as visual and tactile stimulation, and psychological satisfaction, may have created the need for toys that simulate the human body. Silicone dolls have a human form and are in fact a derivative of sex toys.

Is it one-sided to consider them as sex dolls?

For the user, there is a stigma attached to the sex doll, as if he has a doll and he is a pervert. Sometimes users don't sleep with it, they eat with it, they cuddle with it, it seems dirty to be called a "sex doll", users need a little euphemism, a little hint. In fact, in my opinion, this definition and understanding of sex is too narrow and we need to stretch the definition of sex.

What is the difference between a silicone doll and other sex toys?

Users have higher demands and requirements for sexual satisfaction, they know better what they want and are better able to take care of their desires.

Is owning a silicone doll just about needing companionship and intimacy?

A silicone doll is a substitute for real life and satisfaction. It is actually very similar to the psychology of love, but with a greater tendency to possess and control a person.

He may be frustrated in real life and struggle to establish a good real-life relationship, or he may have some psychological needs that cannot be met in real life, so he can satisfy that part of his fantasy in the virtual world.

Another feature of the silicone doll is that it can be manipulated and irresistible and the owner has control over the doll, a bit like a SM plot. People who may not be able to express their desires to a real partner will get satisfaction from the doll.

Of course, there is also the "don't talk to me about sex, I feel dirty, I just want to be pretty" mentality. But as far as we are concerned, sex is not dirty, and it is your choice whether you want to have sex or not.

Is it possible for a doll to replace a real person emotionally?

A doll cannot replace a real person, but it can achieve partial emotional satisfaction, repair pain, repair loss and satisfy some psychological desires. There is feedback between real human feelings, that is, I feel something for you and you feel something for me.

With a simulated doll, it has no way of feeding back its emotions, or the emotional feedback is only imagined by the user. It's the real kind of emotion that has power in people and affects change in them.

In real life, where there is a lot of helplessness and incompetence, imagining things, of course, brings joy, it creates a safe zone to relax and play. But that will always be your own world, not real feedback from the outside world.

Why do people need silicone dolls when they have real relationships?

Real intimacy is about mutual equality and self-awareness. Silicone dolls, on the one hand, are also a reflection of the desire to control sexual relationships, whereas real people are much harder to control.

Statistical surveys show that the vast majority of men still masturbate after marriage. When you and your partner cannot agree sexually or emotionally, they need to find other ways to be satisfied.

What is the typical psychological process that women who accept that their partner has a silicone doll go through?

Many women experience psychological confrontation with their husband's mistress, and the frustration of "silicone babies beating themselves up" or "I'm not attractive" can occur, but it is not necessary.

The silicone doll is just an external thing, but we can use the silicone doll as a mirror to understand the relationship, and communicate with our partner why one party needs the silicone doll, and what problems the two have people have feelings for each other.

Don't women need male silicone dolls?

In general, women have more sensitive and complex emotions and moods. They can feel emotionally and sexually connected and they need someone to love them more. Silicone dolls can hardly provide them with mental love.

Sexual gratification for men is relatively simple and straightforward. Of course, this is a personal choice and has to do with the individual's culture, education and lifestyle.

How should the silicone doll user group be perceived by the outside world?

As a group, they must be stereotyped by others. Society and culture as a whole does not accept silicone dolls, and many people even consider them a perversion.

There is something reasonable about silicone dolls being related to sex, being private and satisfying people's need for sex to a certain extent. If it does not affect one's life and work, and does not endanger society, it is good not to interfere. Be friendly, understanding and supportive if you can.
