I actually don’t own one (a vibrator that is), so I guess my opinion “counts” for you officially, but I’ve got to say, your argument is completely illogical.
The male equivalent of a vibrator is a fleshlight (google’s here if you don’t know what it is.) Here’s a big difference between a vibrator or a fleshlight and a real doll: those sex toys DON’T HAVE FACES OR BODIES. That makes it incredibly creepy. If some dude carried around a life size version of a parody of an african-american man– huge black lips and fro– you bet people’d have a problem with it. But men own life size grotesque parodies of real women, and it’s “just an aide?”
The other thing I don’t understand is why you’d day if he’s cutting them up and using them for sick fantasies, that’s wrong. If I owned a dildo and I felt like slicing the thing up, I should go to jail? Really? Why?
Re-examine your thinking here…?

Mannequins are similar to the dolls in that they resemble humans. Some people have them around just to talk to because they are lonely. Michael Jackson had some mannequins at his house back in the 80′s.

:Jude Law as the sex-bot in AI, though — he’d do.
Well Emily, you only have to wait another 20-40 years for that.
What this 1st generation of dolls/pseudo-bots are doing is setting the stage for that eventual reality where for the most part, men and women will be basically autonomous and not be needing actual human companionship for their basic needs fulfillment.
From today’s pov, it might seem a little strange but I think that it’s where we’re headed. People’s relationships will be more business-like and platonic. ‘Bots will sort of satisfy the primal needs while other human beings will be the more intellectual sounding boards.

I watched the documentary last night and found it fascinating too. As a single female with her own strategies for satisfying social and sexual loneliness, I sometimes wonder about the variety of solutions my male counterparts come up with to help themselves in this area. I had plenty of reactions to and observations about the film but I’ll narrow it down to this: three of the men seemed motivated strongly, and pragmatically, to avoid emotional hurt and one (the fellow with eight dolls) seemed, primarily, to not want to have to “ask permission,” gulp, if he suddenly felt the desire to fuck at three in the morning. At the end of the film, this impression stayed with me: men and women are WAY different. I can’t imagine feeling satisfied with the company of such a passive toy; sure, it would be exciting to see it react to my touch, but I would lose interest in having sex with something that could not put its arms around me, or move independently of my movements. Jude Law as the sex-bot in AI, though — he’d do.

Women aren’t any better, they have erotic relationships with their shoe collection.

When women stop seeing men as an ABM cash machine, we will be on an equal footing.

There are as many owners and reasons for owning these dolls as there are for cars. Within the demographic of doll owners there are married, single, doctors, authors, unemployed, minimum wage earners, those with social disorders, and those with strong libidos, couples where dolls compensate for unbalanced libidos, caused by an illness, disability. There are those that have them for fantasy play, photography, cuddling . There are also male dolls which are predominantely owned by males and also a small percentage of females owning female dolls. The percentage of “Lars” type personalities amongst this group extremely low. Most have peaceful loving non-violent personalities.
Most doll owners do desire to have relationships with human companions. Only in rare cases would the dolls actually hinder an owner’s ability or desire to seek human companionship, and in many cases reduce anxiety by helping to reduce sexual frustration or as one owner, a middle aged doctor stated, “allow me to get the sex out of the way so when I go out on a date, sex isn’t foremost on my mind. I can concentrate more on the interaction and social compatibility.”

Let’s see now… with a doll there is:
- no VD, no herpes, no aids.
- no blackmailing that if you don’t pay her, she will call the cops and say you raped her.
- no marrying you so she can steal your house in a divorce and pay her alimony.
- no constant put downs and mocking.
- no dumping all her life’s frustrations on the poor guy.
- no mind control games.
- no tatoos and piercings to gross you out.
- no monthly PMS fits of rage.
- no calling the cops to have you hauled away to jail on false charges while she moves in her boyfriends in your house.

You want to judge some of these guys getting a doll. Consider the following first

Why would a man want to marry a ‘real’ woman when there is a greater than 50% chance of getting divorced, losing just about everything you worked for, get denied access to your children and have your pay garnished at an exorbitant rate by child support agencies.
Instead of do gooders putting effort into blind sided social engineering we should be working on brining back traditional values, then you may find that this whole bot/doll thing will not be an issue.
