Are sex dolls just an outlet for sexual desire?


If you've heard of flat chested sex doll lately, it's probably because they're becoming more popular. In fact, according to some reports, these realistic-looking sex toys have been sold out ever since they hit the market. But what do men get out of buying these things? Why would anyone want a doll when there are plenty of women around who would actually sleep with them? These questions are all valid ones and not just because I'm curious about why people buy sex dolls but also because it could help us understand how men think about relationships and sexuality in general.

Sex Dolls Are Popular in Japan


Demand for sex dolls is on the rise in Japan. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, there were 1.2 million dolls in use as of August 2017—a threefold increase from the number of users five years earlier.


Among those who purchase sex dolls are those who use them for sexual pleasure; others buy them for companionship or even therapy. Some people even view these figures as a way to explore their own identity without being judged by others or get over an emotional breakup.


So, why are people buying sex dolls? Some speculate that men who purchase these dolls are either looking for an outlet for sexual desire or want to feel accepted by a partner.


Not all men who buy mini sex doll are socially awkward losers with no actual human contact. In fact, a number of guys have admitted to using sex dolls because they're afraid of getting STDs from real women or they just don't have time to date around.


If you're a man who buys 100cm sex doll, you may be afraid of getting STDs from real women or simply don't have enough time to date around. But despite what the media tells us, not all men who buy sex dolls are socially awkward losers with no actual human contact. In fact, a number of guys have admitted to using sex dolls because they're afraid of getting STDs from real women or they just don't have time to date around.


It's easy for people outside the industry to assume that all buyers are creepy perverts with no social skills because it fits into an easy narrative about how our culture treats women as objects in need of rescue. Yes, there is some truth to this assessment—but we must also remember that some men use these products for reasons beyond their own personal gratification alone (e.g., if one partner has been diagnosed with HPV).


There's also the possibility that guys who buy these dolls are feeling emotionally isolated and desperate for some kind of connection.


In addition to the possible reasons above, there's also the possibility that guys who buy these dolls are feeling emotionally isolated and desperate for some kind of connection.


"If a guy is feeling lonely and isolated," says Dr. David Ley, author of Ethical Porn For Dicks: A Man's Guide To Responsible Viewing Pleasure, "then he might be more likely to seek out internet porn as an outlet for sexual desire."


The same goes for guys who don't have time to date around (or even go on dates at all). Chances are if you're not getting laid regularly, your libido will be higher than normal because it's been so long since you last had sex—and hey, if that means buying a doll instead of going out and meeting someone new in person? It makes sense that men would feel less pressure about getting an STD from a woman when they can just use their doll instead.


Finally, there's the possibility that these sex dolls simply make these men feel less lonely and more confident about their sexual abilities.


It's important to remember that men who feel lonely are often hesitant to talk about their feelings. In fact, studies from the University of Chicago have shown that men tend to exhibit more anti-social behavior when they're alone than women do. Men are also less likely than women to seek help for mental health issues or substance abuse problems, so it makes sense that they would be less likely than women to seek out a therapist when they're struggling with loneliness.
