Well, on one hand the legion of silicone zombification is better than having a hundred irratable nipponese harpies all clammoring for their version of Midol and complaining the ingiri doesn't taste right and that they want to dress up in something not so cosplay that night and then want to snuggle, but only if #74 leaves the house, because she has a big ass and isn't friendly.

And on the other hand, he knows what he wants and he's removing himself from the gene pool. Bonus because of that and the fact he's probably never gonna terrorize some poor bathhouse girl recreating his favorite hentai scene involving him, her, creamed corn, tentacles and bukkake.

I thought about investing in Abyss Creations about seven years ago. I think this company and the Realdoll folks are going to be the leader in android sex dolls in the future, sex is where it's at. Your wife and husband are going to be humping these in the future.
I have a few toys to keep me occupied between visits from the GF, if I had the cash I'd get one of those.

Does this surprise anyone watching the disproportionately high level of R&D going into flesh tone and touch response of robots?

This fantasy seems to run deep - have Netflix send out the 1975 version of "Stepford Wives"
[www.imdb.com]

I wonder if they'd put an ai in it, then I guess they would cost less over a lifetime than a normal human factory worker.

Hasn't this guy heard of Thailand? They don't call it Bangkok for nuthin'.

Maybe this is why Japan population is contantly shrinking.

Blow up dolls.....only more advanced!

Variety... the spice of "life".

He talks to them? Bathes them? At least he got one thing right. The only thing to do with these girls is watch TV with them.

Did anyone else see Audition? I think the sequel is going to involve sex dolls coming to life and cutting his foot off.

What is it with Asian men and the whole 'perfect' wife thing. Get over your outdated, misogynistic traditions and thoughts. Evolution might just occur then.

One more reason I don't understand the far east. Put it in the same box as those screwed up Windows commercials and the entire take on how animated porn is somehow less offensive or dishonorable then filmed.

NOW does anyone think that a repressed society is fine, sexually?

@Papercutninja: While it may be slightly creepy, what exactly is wrong with it? So he's spent a lot of money on something more complicated than a bottle of hand lotion and a spare sock. So? He's (presumably) happy, it's his money, it isn't hurting anyone...

If they can make it A.I. sell one to my husband but please make sure she knows how to do dishes,cook do laundry and clean up after him and bathe him. I could use a break, 25 years invested in this marriage and I want the male version. His complaining would be replaced by a few weird sounds, like heaven in a box, ship one my way.

Japan has the "world's oldest profession" just like everywhere else on earth where there are humans. Spend your 170 grand on that. There is NO substitute for the real thing.

Actually, the whole sexual repression thing came largely with westernization. Before then, just like almost all Asian countries, sexuality was uncommonly open, although women still occupied different social roles. All of the major obscenity laws in Japan right now came into existence when the victorian-era Europeans and Americans arrived.

Actually, Howard Stern had sex on the air with one of the 'realdoll' creations, and stated that it was likely the best sex he'd ever had. I'm guessing he knows what he's talking about.

Bangkok? Prostitutes? risky sex???

These things are incredible - not only are they pretty freakin' real looking, their private parts feel incredible, they DON'T spread STDs (a MAJOR public health problem - anyone ever heard of a little problem called AIDS??!!>?? Fer freak's sake), and after banging the bejoogin's outta one of these dolls, you can rinse her off and put her back in her storage box.

AWESOME!!!!

realdoll with the addons FTW

170grand on a real woman would just leave you with a woman or women that want more ...

not to mention if your talking prostition ... this way you dont have a chance of aids

The gallery is NSFW? Where do you work? A monastery?
I only saw a coupla pix, but it seems android racism is also alive and well in the far east.... no sistahs, and no blondes.

I find it funny how people's prejudice rises to the surface on these topics.
Weirdo's like this guy happen to exist not only in Japan, but in US too you know?
I've seen some show or documentary that had interviews on half a dozen americans which had the same exact hobby as this guy. One of them had like 20+ dolls... and saving to buy a new one.

Now, on the subject: I guess it shouldn't be taboo to have a doll like that... but having hundreds of them, being "afraid" to have a relationship with the oposite sex... well, people may disagree with me, but I see a disease or psychological problem right there.

@Banmojo

That's exactly why you go to one of the enlightened places with legalized, regulated prostitution. Absolutely nothing to worry about, and the sex will be FAR better than any rubber doll, ever. The only problem is places with "prostitutes make Jesus cry!" laws.

Bunny Ranch, NV FTW!!

What is it with Asian men and the whole 'perfect' wife thing.

Well, a lot of educated, professional Asian girls are fed up with sexist guys (this is from my own and several friends and acquaintances' experience), a lot of Asian guys have the hots for white celebrities, and a lot of white guys have a "yellow fever" fetish for Asian girls, so that's .75 of the problem solved. All we need to do now is convince white girls that Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and Chow Yun-Fat are the archetype of male sexiness and the world will be full of trans-Pacific looooooooove.

and Alpacalypse: You're a moron if you think life for the majority of women in Japan (or any East Asian country for that matter) was like The Tale of Prince Genji before the Westerners showed up.

@Xenobiologista: And you're a moron if you think you can judge the past based on the present.

Lol.

Damn, I knew Chobits was a reality show. *schnaps finger*

if you have to buy one of those your really really really sad just tell those women what they want to hear works for me

Im pretty sure robotic tentacles will follow suit

@xsportseeker:

Well, that's what I came here to say. There's a lot of these in America too.

But meh, you said it, so I can go to bed now.

That's 17k, not 170k

If they don't talk I'll take one, or perhaps two.

@davekaybsc: How do you know??

I would be a big fan of this business model if the women that were selling themselves were the ones making these things. But, I suspect it is males in charge of the companies making these sex dolls, and somehow that just does not seem right.

So, do what you can to help society, men .. Make certain you are buying sex dolls that are developed and manufactured by companies owned by women, and then you can feel good and feel good about your purchase.

I read that whatever they're made from rots after too much humping....google 'real doll doctor' and see how nasty these things can get.
