Playing with Dolls

I've never owned a sex doll, never even been in the market for one. They've mostly been a joke to me, and generally inflatable. So when I came across the catalog for this manufacturer of premium dolls, I have to say I was a little shocked and amused. I was actually trying to figure out what are the other common uses of solid silicone, besides intraocular lenses. Turns out sex dolls is a big one.

I first came across "unbelievable" Sonia, a solid silicone doll about 4' in height. Of course, you can personalize it with any color hair (above and below, although pubic hair apparently is an option, but can be styled as a V, I, or just full bush), skin, lips (again, above and below), areolas. You can have ribbed inserts, and you can get them the size you want them. The product page stresses practical matters, like "breaking in" her orifices, and the fact that the silicone may be stiff at first but will soften over time. Selling points include the straightforward and practical--"easy to clean," "disease free," "can be stored in the shipping crate"--some finer points--"odorless with a slight citrus scent,"flexible for comfortable positioning,"--and some highly dubious claims--"Awesome experience" "real life eyes and tender lips"(???!!!), "extremely satisfying." My personal favorite, though, is the claim "unbelievably JigglyBreasts and Butt." Apparently, JigglyBreasts and JigglyButt are their trademarks--they're filled with liquid silicone and can even be purchased separately.

Sale--this week only--buy a full size doll and get a "travel size" one for free!

They also sell torso only dolls, which have the pitch: "Get a Beautiful Bella Torso doll and Save Space with no head." Of course--why didn't I think of that?

Odorless...but simultaneously smelling of citrus? Yes, these claims seem dubious!

But what we learned from the "Lars" film is that small-town folks are surprisingly accepting of a man and his love-doll ("She was elected to the school board!").
