I heard about the Kennedy sex doll a few weeks back. My friend was telling me about how she found out about one and how it’s been causing quite a stir in the media. I was fascinated by the concept, but also a little apprehensive. I wasn’t sure how I felt about a sex dolls doll model of JFK.
We started to talk about the implications of such a product, and my mind quickly bored into questions like, “What does this say about our society? What kind of message does this send to young people about sex and consent?” Eventually, though, I had to accept that I couldn’t make a judgment on the matter without having more information. So, with my curiosity piqued, I started to research what the Kennedy sex doll was all about.
To my surprise, I found out that Kennedy sex dolls aren’t just a thing of the present; they’ve actually been around for quite some time. I read that the first Kennedy sex doll was created in the 60s by an artist in California. It was made of plaster and wore a replica of JFK’s inaugural outfit, complete with a brass band. The doll was meant to represent a kind of futurist object and celebrate the president’s legacy.
As time went by though, the Kennedy sex doll shifted in meaning. It became less of an expression of artistic sentiment and more of a way to engage in fantasies of power and dominance. Today, the Kennedy sex doll is seen more as a symbol of erotic objectification, particularly when it comes to the male gaze. To this day, company’s continue to produce replica’s of JFK as a sex doll, which raises many ethical and moral questions.
I took a while to process all of this information. Whilst a part of me found the concept of the Kennedy sex doll deeply unsettling, another part of me was fascinated by the idea. I started to think about the role of fantasy and roleplay in relationships, and how it could actually be a positive thing.
I began to realize that, despite the provocative nature of the Kennedy sex doll, it can still be seen as a harmless form of expression. Whilst it does tap into fantasies of power and dominance, it can also be seen as a celebration of JFK’s legacy. And at the end of the day, we’re all entitled to our own fantasies.
I began to appreciate how the Kennedy sex doll can be seen as more than just an object of desire. I started to see it more as a tool for exploring intimacy and roleplay, an opportunity to create stimulating conversations with one’s partner. In some ways, it can even be seen as a way of understanding one’s own sexual identity.
It was at this point in my research that I realized the Kennedy sex doll is far more complex than I had initially thought. It’s a product layered with history, political allegory and symbolic value. Whilst I still wouldn’t consider it a purchase for myself, I can certainly understand its appeal and the role it may play in relationships.
