I think Honor has hit da nail, as they say, smack on da head.

Ew. Those are way too big.

No... Not too big. I've been with girls with bigger. It's the proportions that make it... Creepy.

And the fact that it's a lifeless sex doll adds nothing towards teh creepy?

Ok.. Major.. shut the hell up. The thing keeping the Laosian sex trade afforadble for guys like us, is guys like us not telling everyone about the Laosian sex trade. Can you imagine what would happen to the prices if demand skyrocketed?

I agree that those things on the real doll are too big. But by no means are they breasts, tits, boobies or knockers. Those particular lumps of fleshy-esque plastic are udders!

(at least that's what they look like to me)

It's the shape. Breasts should be round, not cylindrical.

Also, plastic boobs aren't really prefered, unless they're really nice ones.

Ghastly wrote:Actually, I saw a documentary on Real Dolls on Sex TV here in Canada. They were originally designed to be department store mannequins but because they were so realistic they detracted attention from the merchandise. The mannequins were returned to the company but they started getting requests from store managers for "specially modified" versions. From there it wasn't long before they started making them as sex dolls.

Strange, I just read an article about them on Salon.com that has a different story.

Matt McMullen is the Dr. Frankenstein and Henry Ford of love dolls. The founder of Real Dolls is in his mid-30s and dresses like a skateboarder, with multiple piercings and a pretty face. A decade ago, McMullen was a struggling sculptor, making 12-inch nudes out of resin in his garage. For a challenge, he decided to build bigger nudes with poseable bodies that were softer, inviting to the touch. When he posted photographs of his work on the Internet, e-mails poured in asking whether his creations were sex dolls and if so, how much did they cost. After 10 different men offered to pay McMullen $3,000 for converted sculptures, he couldn't refuse, and it was back to the drawing board to design soft breasts and penetrable genitalia. "I had to make it feel good," he says. "As good as rubber can feel." His early adopters were thrilled with the results and soon launched their own photo Web sites. With that free viral promotion, McMullen became the leading purveyor of solid-body silicone love. With $2 million in sales last year, McMullen now employs 14 people at his San Marcos, Calif., company and makes about six or seven dolls a week, each requiring 80 hours of labor.

If I was gonna pay $5k for a sex toy, I'd like it to not be hideous, thx.

Yeah, who is going to pay $5000 to have sex with a lifeless cold thing? I can bribe the security guard of a morgue for much less than that!

I guess City TV got pwned when they made the documentary.

Yanno...add some servo motors and some computer controls and you'd have Mr. Universes 'wife' from Serenity...

The fiance and I were joking about rigging one up to sit in our living room... all day long...

With a motion sensor that would make her twitch and say "Hi!" in a tinny, mechanical voice about five minutes after someone passed the motion sensor field.

It'd twig some people out, all right. Too bad they cost five grand.

Oh my god. I love that. I'm not sure why, but it makes me feel very fondly of you.

Oh, corpse sex... so very underrated.

On the Real Doll site under their "What's New!" or "The Best Fucking Research" or some page heading, they are talking about a servo assisted and microprocessor controlled model. The biggest motion would of course be in the pelvis

The Anime Realdoll's ass is too small. I've seen jugs that big (one of my close friends approaches that size, but she's also realistically proportioned around them) and in my experience, the girls with big boobies generally have round beautiful backsides as well (to counterbalance the weight of the bust, of course).

This one guy I know actually visted the RealDoll studio. The people building them said they couldn't incorporate any servos into the dolls due to the possible liability issue.

Thankfully the Japanese don't have that problem!

Hmmm, it's all a tad unsettling, as if they're preparing for the extinction of female-kind or somesuch....

Strikes me as a touch redundant. I'm mean it's amazing that they can do it, but designing a robot that looks exactly like a human so it can do exactly what a human already does seems a little stale-matey to me.
