Love Doll: Between Desire and Essential Need

 

The love doll is a fairly new concept in the eyes of the general public, and yet. While some consider it an object of little value, others give it a very special importance.

The love doll: a Japanese concept

This concept, which comes straight from the Land of the Rising Sun, continues to generate a lot of ink. In reality, the love doll market is currently booming. Even if its marketing is mainly centralized in Japan, the fact remains that it has spread throughout the whole world. However, Westerners do not have the same conception of it as the Japanese. Indeed, they only consider it as a sex toy. This is why the market for this type of sex doll is considered, while not, to be uniquely Japanese.

In Japan, it would seem that the love doll is much more than an object of desire. Indeed, it would present a certain conscience and even a spiritual side. This is what justifies its price is quite high (2000 € on average). Its marketing was thus concentrated on Japan, which caused the saturation of the market.

The value of the love doll: a constant problem

The fact that a love doll is more expensive in Japan than in the West is already a concern. This may suggest that those available in Japan have an extra element. The question that then arises is whether the love doll has only a sexual character or also has a spiritual aspect. This leads to reflections on its nature.

To get answers, the question was posed to manufacturers, enthusiasts, collectors, but also to curious people. The latter even have agencies mainly made up of sex dolls. The latter provide their customers with love dolls at home or on site over a certain period.

The answers to this question are many and varied. However, these are mainly based on writings, blogs, news items or testimonials. In addition, such an interest in dolls allows manufacturers to be an integral part of their lives. They are therefore present from their conception until their evolution to their final destination.

The status of the love doll: constantly improving

The many conceptions that it is possible to have of the love doll are somewhat justified. For this, it is necessary to analyze three main elements: marketing, aesthetics and metaphysics.

Marketing

On the marketing aspect, we must turn to its history, the models and the different types of dolls. On the last point, they are quite varied. There are sex dolls, vibrating dolls, etc.

In connection with its history, it must be said that initially the sex doll was considered a therapeutic object. It was specially intended for people with emotional or physical disabilities. Today, through its evolution, it is now a way to stimulate the sexual appetite of a person in a state of craving or not.

Some are even able to order a multitude of them. In this case, we speak of “marriage with housemaids”. As a result, the love doll has become more popular very quickly. Her evolution was such that it is now not uncommon to see her in television shows.

She is even attached to certain literary tales, of which she is the protagonist. It is also said that she accompanied certain explorers on their quests. More specifically, it allowed them to discover new territories (during the discovery of Antarctica in 1955, for example). She is then considered a heroine of the time.

Further, his adult status would even come from mythology. The love doll was therefore known as an omnipresent being, like a deity (kami-sama). It is said at that time that she was both abused in brothels and venerated once we were in her presence.

The aesthetics of the love doll

Designing the aesthetics of the love doll involves understanding the link that users have with it. It has been noticed that the silicone doll has the ability to interact with its users. Indeed, she keeps visual, physical and mental contact with them. This is the origin of the fantasy it provokes.

For users, it is the illustration of the perfect woman. It is therefore the conceptualization of the dream of many men. In other words, she is a passive woman who is available at all times. That's what makes her stand out the most. It therefore constitutes both the feminine ideal and a neutral support.

Then came the motorization of the silicone doll. For some, this is perceived as an aesthetic error. Others consider having found the Holy Grail with this ass innovation.
