Japan's lonely hearts turn to dolls for sex, company

TOKYO, July 18 (Reuters Life!) - Real love is hard to find for one Japanese man, who has transferred his affection and desires to dozens of plastic sex dolls.

When the 45-year-old, who uses a pseudonym of Ta-Bo, returns home, it's not a wife or girlfriend who await him, but a row of dolls lined up neatly on his sofa.

Each has a name. Ta-Bo often watches television with his toys before bathing them, powdering them so that their skin feels more human, dressing them in lingerie and then taking them to bed.

"A human girl can cheat on you or betray you sometimes, but these dolls never do those thing. They belong to me 100 percent," says the engineer who has spent more than 2 million yen ($16,000) over the past decade on the dolls.

Say, that reminds me

some of them look amazingly real. I wonder if they are like robots and can move and stuff, or do they just lay there? :shrug:

I thought it meant this:



but it's really this:

after living this way...how can he ever find an actual woman to form a relationship with...

his only relationships are those he makes up in his mind....and no one can compete with that...

No chance of rejection from his dolls...

meets him and they hit it off...the woman will run for the hills when she finds out what he has been doing...

recently about men and their dolls.

There was a guy, around 50ish who had like 7 dolls. He did find a girlfriend who seemed to like him..... seemed to accept his fetish, but the doc narrator relates that she broke it off the next week.


Here's the page for the show: http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/245/index.jsp

his plastic harem.....that I think would be more of a turn off than him having them as toys...and then there is the fact that he has more than one toy...

Not just buy the dolls for sex ($10,000 each), but to fall in love with them.

:shrug:


Thanks for that--I'll have to look for that on BBCA.

Hell I've got one bang up imagination, but that doesn't replace real people in my life, real laughter, real touch, real voices.

There are an awful lot of really lonely people out there without any good ways to connect.

:-(

and not have to worry about being brought up on sexual harrassment charges!

she really means "yes."

Not 'sad' as in 'pathetic', but 'sad' as in 'tragic'.

Tragic that people will not be honest with each other.

Tragic that people will cheat on each other.

Tragic that people will dump a relationship over the smallest of spats.

Oh well. At least the sex doll and plastic industries are allowed to prosper.

What's the name of that place again?







Sorry, it's just been one of those days.
