Silicone Doll Enthusiasts: Beyond Misconceptions

Silicone doll enthusiasts have their own communities. Like other interest groups, they share fun and experiences in forums, make friends, and socialize. "We usually put our dolls on the sofa and then talk about life, housing prices, and national issues," says Jim, a 34-year-old Canadian.

Jim is very cheerful and talkative, making it hard to believe he has been into dolls for over ten years. He lives with his girlfriend, and two silicone dolls sit on the living room sofa, like artworks.

Jim's interest in silicone dolls began in college due to hormonal sexual impulses but waned after puberty. At 31, he broke up with his girlfriend of three years, feeling exhausted as if he had gone through a divorce. This breakup led him to rediscover his love for dolls and find a new purpose in life.

Jim says, "Sakura is my first realistic silicone doll. I have never had sex with her; I just raised her as a daughter. My living room used to be full of five dolls, but I sent two back to my hometown because of my girlfriend."

For Jim, the doll represents a fresh start. It stays with him until he recovers from his last relationship and begins a new one. "But if you can't move on, it's okay. With the company of dolls, you can stay in that beautiful world for the rest of your life, unaffected by reality's routines," Jim laughs.

We are born lonely. Lovers, friends, and family will eventually leave us, but dolls never will.

A Real-Life Example: South Korean Artist June Korea's Silicone Doll Eva

I was shocked when I saw a collection of photos of Eva, shot by South Korean artist June Korea. Eva is a silicone doll, his fantasy girlfriend. They slept, shopped, and picnicked together like a real couple. These photos are not pornographic but convey an indescribable sense of loneliness.

June Korea says:

"I started photographing sex dolls in 2002 because of loneliness. I don't lack socializing, but when I wake up alone, go home alone after parties and work, or stand in a crowd, I feel lonely. As a child, I naively thought my family and friends would never leave me and that my fond memories would never fade away. But over time, I lost them anyway. While studying art in New York, I experienced a breakup with my girlfriend. At that time, I had the idea of taking Eva as my fantasy girlfriend and photographing her. People leave, but the doll will not die. If I record all this in the fantasy world, it will become eternal."
"I intensively photographed Eva for two years. I spent almost every day with her. We slept, shopped, and picnicked together. We laughed and cried together. We felt happy or lonely together. Passersby would stare at us strangely, and someone would come and touch Eva, but I didn't care. I knew this relationship was not real. The loneliness of being human has always been a reality I couldn't escape. However, if you need, the doll will stay with you forever and never die."

Why Choose Silicone Dolls?

Silicone dolls are substitutes and fulfillments for real life. They are similar to love psychology but more inclined towards possessing and controlling a person. You may suffer setbacks in real life, find it difficult to establish a good relationship, or have psychological needs that cannot be satisfied in reality. Thus, in a virtual world, this part of fantasy can be fulfilled.

Some people may be unable to express their desires to a real partner but find satisfaction in a silicone doll. Of course, dolls cannot replace real people, but they help users fulfill some emotional needs, heal pain, recover from losses, and satisfy psychological desires.

Do You Still Need a Silicone Doll in a Real Relationship?

Real intimacy is about equality and autonomy. Silicone dolls represent the desire for control in sexual relationships, while real people are much harder to control.

Statistics show that the vast majority of men still masturbate after marriage. When you and your partner can't agree on sexual and emotional issues, you need to find other ways to satisfy those needs. A silicone doll is a good option to try.

Many women feel confronted by their husband's mistress, thinking, "The silicone doll defeated me" or "I'm unattractive." These feelings of frustration are unnecessary. The silicone doll is just an external object, but it can provide a deeper understanding of your relationship. Communicate with your partner to understand why they need a silicone doll.

Conclusion

Are you still worried about what people will think about you buying a doll? Here's a word for you:

Never be shy about being yourself.
