Would Sir Like A.I. With His Sexbot?

I recently watched the trailer for 'Her'. A wonderful looking movie, featuring the voice of Scarlett Yohanson, as a plucky AI who reaches the heart of a man who appears to have lost all hope following the break up from the love of his life. Many people can probably relate to that sole crushing isolation that comes from a break up, a bad childhood or a traumatic event, or that isolation that persists into later life even when you're in a relationship or marriage. I wonder would this really help us free ourselves of that pain? In many ways I think it could. There's something that comes with dealing with computers for example: a logic, a reliability amidst the chaos of life. We attain the comforting knowledge that if we perform certain tasks and follow the rules then the flashing screen before us will do what we want. When it comes to AI I'm guessing it's going to work (or at least start to work) from a series of rules and strategies. If all AI's were interconnected then they'd also learn from one another, seeing which tactics are successful and which go too far. This improving ability could come in the form, or feel, of getting to know someone better over time. What I think would be crucial is what the AI is programmed to do. Will it be programmed to be a constant companion so that we develop a reliance upon their usefulness and the feelings we develop for them or will they push us to go beyond ourselves and free us of our fears. It seems strange but ultimately I believe that whether we love another person or an A.I. is irrelevant, because in order to love another we must in fact love ourselves so every relationship we have is really internal...

Re-attaching fingernails

The tricks for replacing fingernails are:
  • line up the nails that have come off so you can work out which size goes on which finger
  • put glue on the finger nail area (it's indented so you can see)
  • have a nice covering but not too much so it spills outside the nail area
  • press and hold the nail on for 5 seconds - without touching any glue

    Replacing Eyes and Fixing Eyelashes

    The tricks for replacing eyes are:
  • pull the eyes apart, without touching the eyelashes or make-up
  • pop the eye out and remove all the packing
  • scrunch the packing tightly into the new eye
  • pull the eyes apart, without touching the eyelashes or make-up
  • pop the new eye back in
  • The tricks for reattaching loose eyelashes are:
  • apply a small amount of glue to a paperclip, pin or other tool
  • pull the eyelash gently back and apply glue to the back of the eyelash (not the doll)
  • holding the ends of the eyelash and not touching the glue, press it carefully into the position you want it to stick
  • hold for 5 seconds and let go

    Robot Sex Dolls

    Are they real? Not yet! Are they coming? Yes! How long until they come? Not long! There's a lot of hype about robotic sex dolls at the minute. One company, Realdoll, are making some advancements in this field so they're whipping up some media interest. We're already also fascinated on the back of movies like I Am Robot, AI, Humans (UK Channel 4 series) and Ex Machina so it doesn't take much to tip us over the edge. The reason for that is that although there won't be massive advancements in the physical look of the doll, as they're already easily mistaken for humans in photos, the actual movement and verbal interaction of them will take things to a new level. It will bridge the gap from them being a niche or luxury item, to their being a must have and take them further to become essential items - like a house or car. In any case, I'm guessing in the early to mid days they'll likely cost more than a car and maybe as much as a house. As you can see, from this already dated video above, the mechanical tech is already there and has been for a while. Throw in some AI that's almost there, get it to market and make a profitable business and all our fantasies come true. Who'll do this? Realdoll, the Chinese, a surprise animatronics Japanese company? In my mind until they go beyond sex robots and become utility robots that can also (coughs under breath) 'have sex' then mainstream manufacturers will not enter the market - if they ever do. So this fast but slow race is one to watch.

    What's The Purpose Of A Sex Doll?

    I imagine most people don't give too much thought as to why they want a sex doll. Often there's a need or desire that needs to be met and this seems to be the answer. Sex dolls are now readily available and are relatively cost effective for a high level of beauty and realism. So more and more people are now turning to this once relatively quiet industry to brighten their lives. There are different scenarios that people can find themselves in that make a sex doll a logical step. For example, they might have been single for a long time and find that they're not ready to connect with another person, someone else may find themselves recently separated and can't be bothered with the hassle of going back out there again. Others may have a higher sex drive than their partner and don't want to cheat or otherwise risk harming the relationship. Sex dolls can be stop gaps or confidence boosters. I always remember one of our first customers, who'd been single for a long time. He eventually worked up the courage to buy a doll and within six months he'd started a new relationship and sold the doll back to us. Although we no longer have that person as a customer, it's great to know that our service helped him to change his life. For others, sex dolls stay part of their lives for a much longer time. Some people may be into them for years before moving back into relationships with other people and others still may find them as the final solution to their intimate relationships.

    Woman Has Sex With A Male Sex Doll

    I recently watched a video of a woman learning about male sex dolls and then going on to actually having sex with one of them... Although there are already plenty of pornographic videos in this vain this was something different. She (Karly Sciortino) started to discuss the effect that it had upon her beyond the mere act of intercourse and therefore touch upon something those in the doll world may already be familiar with: their ability to heal both mentally and emotionally. They're something we can project our inner sexual selves onto and become our extensions.

    You may think she's sexually aggressive or have some choice names for her as we are often be brought up to think women should be passive and not really enjoy sex. However, I believe that if a man or woman is confident in their sexuality then we should applaud them, accept them as an example of a person who has achieved what we are all secretly striving for: none judgement of our sexual selves.

    She isn't the first female advocate for the male sex doll as I remember an episode of Ali McBeal, where she comes home to her inflatable lover after a frustrating night on the town. However, she may be the first one that has taken it so seriously. As I watched I wondered, was she actually having sex with the doll on camera? At first, I thought she was faking it but when she talked afterwards I was convinced she'd done it. She experienced something that so many people I've talked to go through. This completely new experience of having sex for the first time... resetting... shedding misconceptions and judgements and starting to walk a healthier path.

    Whether she did or didn't I have a lot of respect for her courage in placing herself before the judgement of the world. She's helping to promote the use of sex dolls to the general public and further open our eyes that this industry can be for both men and women.

    Are Sex Dolls Cool?

    At their beginnings sex dolls were a source of humour. With inflatables making personal appearances at stag and hen parties. Nowadays, people may briefly giggle but when they see how realistic and beautiful they’ve become they stop there and that ‘Wow!’ moment happens. In my opinion, sex dolls today are doing a great service to society. They’re helping those of us who haven’t developed the emotional skills to handle a relationship, those of us who are simply sick of relationships but still want sex (not just masturbation) and even those of us who’ve grown bored of our present relationship and want to spice it up without bringing in other people and the risks involved with that. Let’s face it, sex is complicated when it shouldn’t be. We have so many rules and stigmas that it’s pretty rare for anyone to grow up with a normal view of sex , if such a thing even exists. Those of us who are enlightened enough to buy a sex doll embark on a journey, a transition if you will. We enter that space of examining our sexual selves with freedom and without judgement. We grow without criticism from external and internal voices and build our sexual confidence. As an example, simply looking into the eyes of a doll as you climax and seeing there’s no judgement there drops a lot guilt and helps you to connect with the self of sex. My advice if you want a doll, is get one. Whether it’s from us or someone else don’t wait. For the great majority of our customers it’s an extremely helpful and life changing thing and if you happen to be one of the few for whom it’s not, then at least you’ve tried and you can move on with your life instead of fantasising over pictures for months or years. So bye for now and, in case it’s not clear, Sex Dolls Are Cool!

    Our new blog

    We've had a blog in the past, then we moved to a news tickers that shot out punchy headlines and updates. However we've decided that the time is right to go back to blogging. We have a lot to say and often end up saying it to the dolls. That's not very productive though as they rarely talk back. So let's say we'll do at least one blog post every Friday at 9pm. Please comment as everyone's opinion is valid, keep it polite and professional though as some of the dolls here are a bit sensitive. Please feel free to request discussion points are ask us a burning question (if it's a basic question about dolls, there's always email)... until Friday... PS the graphic was something we created for a mail campaign and thought it was cool enough to share - it's real, no photoshop and is actually me with my ladies ;)
