Creepy or not, there are people who actually prefer having a relationship with dolls than humans. They are called technosexuals or iDollators. They are basically people who are attracted to dolls and can have a meaningful relationships with them.
There are a lot of companies that make human-like dolls.
They aren't cheap to begin with.
They can range from $6,000 to $10,000.
Men use them for either sex or companionship.
Or both.
Some are even marrying them.
The men that have relationships with dolls don't want to deal with humans' inconsistencies.
They can be covered in artificial skin made of silicone.
They are even equipped with fake tongues too.
Some are ostensibly made for sex.
iDollators see their dolls as life partners, not sex toys.
They obviously can't legally marry, but they do have matching wedding bands.
Is this what they call synthetic love?
These men also take them everywhere they go.
They certainly aren't shy or embarrassed of them.
Some of these men have been in real-life relationships with real women before.
But they consider the relationship with the dolls more meaningful.
Some are also still visually attracted to organic women, but that doesn't mean they'd change their minds about who they spend their lives with.
It almost seems like a dark future of technology is happening here.
Here's an episode of Black Mirror that takes dolls to the next-level. It's possibly a creepy future but who can say what love actually is?
