Are you worried about what others will think of you if you buy a sex doll? We get it! We do. Unfortunately, sex doll owners are often portrayed as socially awkward loners, unable to form normal relationships. We know this is not the case. In fact, people who buy sex dolls are almost always sex-positive, forward-thinking, and intelligent people.
Social Acceptance of Sex Toys and Sex Dolls
Not so long ago, the topic of masturbation was taboo. Few people are willing to admit that they pursue self-pleasure. Even fewer admit to regularly watching porn. And sex toys? ? ? forget it! Most men and women are dead before they admit they own a vibrator or a pocket pussy.
Today, the conversation about sex toys, porn, and masturbation has completely changed. People openly admit that they masturbate. Not only did women admit to owning vibrators and other sex toys, they also hosted parties to buy and sell the items.
We think this is awesome. Even better, we have no doubt that owning a sex doll will be just as recognized in the future.
Technology is evidence of changing attitudes
We recently published an article about Samantha, a technologically advanced doll powered by artificial intelligence. In addition to computer technology, doll manufacturers have used advances in science and engineering to create sex dolls that look and feel nearly identical to real people.
It's important to understand that building these advanced dolls requires a significant investment of time and money. These resources are not just for the company to use at will. They are investing in producing better sex dolls because they recognize the need for them and mainstream acceptance is inevitable.
So why the lack of acceptance?
We firmly believe that in a few years, sex doll ownership will be completely normal. No, not everyone will choose to own one, but it will certainly be embraced. In the meantime, we think there are a few reasons why people have been slow to embrace the idea that sex dolls are healthy and normal.
Sex dolls are expensive and uncomfortable
Let's face it. People have weird ideas about money and sex. If you spend $1,800 on a sex doll, it’s going to raise some eyebrows. Should it? Think about it. Sex dolls can last for years. However, some of the following expenses are rarely noticed:
Spend hundreds of dollars in a VIP room at a strip club.
Spend $100 on a vibrator and replace it every year or so.
Paid premium memberships to dating and personals sites.
Buy porn.
Most of us pay in some way to get the sex we want. We also pay to have as much sex as we want.
Sex toys and porn are easily hidden
Vibrators and sex toys can be tucked into nightstand drawers or hidden under pillows. Browser history can be cleaned to eliminate almost all evidence that someone viewed pornography.
This doesn't have to be the case with sex dolls. They are bigger. They don't fold neatly. Yes, there are many storage options for your sex doll. However, a sex doll is not an 8-inch vibrator. It's also not a wand that can pretend to be a "massager."
Final thought: You can increase acceptance
If you own or plan to buy a sex doll, there are things you can do to change attitudes toward sex dolls. First, talk openly about it to your sex-positive friends. If they are willing to admit that they watch porn or own sex toys, then they should be receptive to your interest as well. If they struggle, remind them that Puritan attitudes once judged them just as harshly. The idea is to enhance the bond between a sex doll owner and an accomplished, thoughtful, emotionally intelligent person.
