Perfectly Fake

Last night my hubby and I were flipping through the channels. We stopped on a channel that was showing “virtual reality” porn. So of course we watched. After a few commercials we figured out that we were watching a documentary called “Perfectly Fake.” Essentially the first half was about this virtual reality porn and the devices that you can use on yourself when are engaging with the machine. That I understand or at least get. The second half of the documentary was about these men who collect and “use” Love Dolls. Now these are not your typical blow up dolls. These girls weigh about 100 lbs, have very life like features, attachments that you can put between their legs, have pose able joints and very life like skin. Again, I can understand the market for these as well. However I did have one problem with the attitude of some of these men. Some of these men say that they like these dolls better than real women for a number of reasons. One said that he could project his vision of beauty on her :ie dress her up to whatever his “ideal” was, and another stated that these dolls were better because they don’t die, there is no “sadness or anger” when being around them. I really believe that I am an open minded, sexually liberated woman but come on. This angers me. Half of these “beauty” images were child like. Young faces and child like clothes complete with pig tails. And believe me I have no problem with women in general playing dress up like this, but the faces just seemed so young to me. Come on…how many Jenny McCarthy look-alikes do we need to have? I see so many of these types of women on TV (big brother for example) and they all seem somewhat pretty to me) But It’s the girls that look a little different with the personality that I really find strikingly beautiful. I may sound naïve but you can’t tell me that men would prefer women to be “the perfect image” and have no warmth or personality to go with it. And if that is what they prefer, then they better look out, cause while there at home screwing the personality-less perfect images of beauty us women are going to start taking over while they’re not paying attention.
