why do men buy sex dolls
I recently had a conversation with a friend about men buying sex dolls. Being someone who both finds it a bit uncomfortable and curious about why someone would buy a sex doll, I thought to explore this in more detail.
First of all, why would anyone want to buy a sex doll? Are men buying it purely for pleasure? Is there something else at play? Honestly, I’m not so sure but what I do know is that there’s a whole market out there for men to buy these dolls. Part of me can understand why some guys would opt to go down this route due to the potential stigma of buying an actual partner, but why would that stigma exist in this day and age?
Answer: Perhaps it’s because we still tend to think of sex as something dirty or shameful, or that it’s not acceptable to have multiple partners. Maybe there’s a fear of rejection if you go out and ask someone for a night of passion? Or for some, it’s just easier to buy a doll than to go through the hassle of forming a real relationship. Whatever it is, there’s definitely a market for them and I’m inclined to think there’s more to it than just pleasure.
Second, what benefits does a man get from buying a sex doll? I mean, you’re still not getting the same level of interaction that you would with an actual partner and to me, there’s a gaping hole that nothing can fill. But, it’s not all doom and gloom as some men might use the doll as a way to live out fantasies or as a form of therapy to deal with insecurities and confidence issues.
Third, there might be other benefits of purchasing a sex doll, such as providing a safe outlet that doesn’t involve real people. One of the biggest worries of having casual sex is getting an STD or unwanted pregnancy and this is avoided with dolls. On top of that, some men feel like they don’t have the confidence to ask someone out or feel like they are not good enough compared to others. In this case, dolls can provide an outlet to get the physical gratification without having to worry about pleasing anyone else.
Fourth, for sex toys many large doll owners, it’s more about companionship than physical pleasure. Some men find the idea of having someone or something to talk to, spend time with, and care for rather appealing. They might also find it hard to emotionally connect with people, so a doll provides them with a sense of companionship without having to open themselves up to someone.
Finally, What do I think? I’m in two minds when it comes to objectifying actual human relationships. On the one hand, it seems wrong for people to reduce sex and intimacy to a physical object but on the other, I understand that some people might require something more solid and definite than a human partner in certain circumstances. Ultimately, I think it comes down to personal opinion – maybe what one person finds objectifying, another person might find fitting and dildos beneficial to their lives.
