The emotions behind sex dolls

 People are designing more and more sex dolls to fill people's loneliness. After graduating from university, I joined an adult doll company to sell dolls to foreigners. I have seen the deepest loneliness and the most painful human beings here.

At 7:30 in the morning, I woke up, washed my clothes, and ran to the office. The dormitory is only ten minutes away from where I work. After passing through a deep alley, there is a gray four-story building. From the outside, it is no different from the old buildings in the suburbs of Guangzhou, but you will be surprised when you walk in.

Here, the bodies of countless young women are hung on steel frames and wrapped in transparent plastic bags. They have various skin tones. Although I have been working here for a while, I am shocked to see this scene every day when I walk into the factory.

In July 2017, I went to work in this factory after graduating from university. My responsibility is to sell products to all over the world.

Most people only know about inflatable dolls, while sex dolls are made of silicone or TPE. This doll looks like a real person. It is highly simulated in all parts. It has a built-in metal skeleton and can bend joints (if necessary), and it can also be put in various poses.

There are many different types of dolls, such as height, weight, skin color, facial features, even hair, eye color, tattoos, nails and other features can be customized, the body can also be heated, and the sound card can be customized to let the doll speak some simple language.

The price of our sex dolls is between RMB 400-1000, as are high-end customized sex dolls. As long as the customer takes a photo and lists the requirements, the factory can design the mold and then make exactly the same doll.

The factory has also developed a smart doll that can shake his head and respond to guests in English. It is similar to an intelligent robot, but expensive. The cheapest AI doll also costs $2,500. But compared with European and American dolls, dolls made in China are much cheaper.

Throughout the factory, I went to the office and turned on the computer to check the mail. The first thing I do every day is to answer all kinds of strange questions from new customers: "I will be stuffed in the vagina of a sex doll", "A doll can be heated to several degrees", "How to experience sex".

Sex dolls are good friends

At this time, the computer made a "Ding" sound, an email from Mike with the subject: "This Christmas, I won't be alone."

Mike is my first client. He is an American, an introvert and a typical otaku.

A few months ago, I knew nothing about the industry. 80% of the dolls in the factory are sold abroad. In order to meet the customer's time, I often stay in the office until midnight. After a three-month trial period, I still got nothing. Does anyone really buy this? On the last day of the trial period, I was in a bad mood and faced the computer alone at 11pm. Then, I saw a customer message on "Facebook": "I am in the United States, can I distribute sex dolls?" At that time, tears welled up in my eyes, and I quickly answered, "No problem, many of our customers are from the United States." I received a reply within a minute: "I want a European and American doll."

I immediately sent him the purchase link and he immediately paid for the order. The price of this doll is 499 US dollars, and we can deliver it for free. I can't believe it, so I did it first.

Since then, Mike has asked me every day: "Will my sex doll arrive today?"

I sent him a screenshot of the logistics information, and he responded with a tearful expression. Mike received the doll two weeks later. He said he had a sofa in the bedroom for the doll to use. Before Christmas, he bought another one.

Since then, Mike has emailed me about his doll almost every day. He wore all kinds of fashionable and beautiful clothes for the two dolls. Every time he changed the dolls, he would take pictures and send them to me.

Slowly, he and I became acquainted. Mike suffers from social phobia and is afraid to talk to people. Only in the online world can he feel at ease, but he also desires to communicate with others and have real friends. Two dolls are his first step.

I suddenly remembered Christmas two days later. Click Mike's email. The two dolls in the photo are wearing festive costumes. Mike sat in the middle with a smile on his face. The photo he sent before was just a doll. This is the first time he has a photo of himself.

I was a little relieved and laughed on the screen for a long time.

Sex dolls are real wives

Another customer with fresh memory is Takamura Gomura, a Japanese who ordered a doll during the Chinese New Year and asked us to ship it as soon as possible, so I had to stay to process the order and finally delivered it on time.

A month later, Gang village realized that it was the Chinese New Year. Gangcun said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, David, I made you unable to celebrate the New Year." I shook my head and said it was okay. I rarely go home these years. Mr. Gangcun was silent for a while, chatting with me on Facebook, his voice seemed a little low.

When Gangcun was young, his work ability was outstanding. Soon after their marriage, he and his wife were sent to the US branch as directors. When he is busy, he cannot go home for a year. He made a lot of money in those years and missed a lot. His son was born in Japan, and he didn't know it until his father died. He was busy until he retired and returned to Japan. He wanted to reunite with his family and live with his wife, but his wife suffered from breast cancer and died. Like him, his son has also been sent to work abroad and it is difficult to see him.

Gangcun looked at the big house and several luxury cars in the garage, and found that he had been struggling all his life and there was no one around him. He thought of his wife when he was young, heartbroken. Later, he accidentally saw a doll on our website that looked like his wife on Google. In less than 20 days, this would be the anniversary of his marriage to his wife. It turned out that this is why he longed for this doll.

Gangcun also showed me a photo of his wife. She said: "This is when we first got married, she was very thin, her eyes were big and round. This photo was when she was pregnant, she became a little fat, double With a smile on her chin, she looks very cute. This is her 30 years old, and there is a little wrinkle in the corner of her eyes... "Speaking of this, he stopped, panting heavily from his back, I think he was crying.

Later, Gangcun often wrote emails to tell me about dolls. He would bathe the doll, put on new clothes, and then push the doll to the park to bask in the sun. His neighbors and friends knew that his doll was just his wife.

Could the little sex doll be a daughter?

Since then, the number of customers has gradually increased, at least twelve dolls can be sold every month, and a maximum of nearly 50 dolls can be sold a month.

Later, I met a German couple and showed me pictures of their daughter’s room with some famous cartoon characters, such as rabbit, Snow White, Alice, Cinderella and pink children with soft toys bed. A picture of a little girl hung on the bed.

They told me that this girl was their only daughter. The couple was sad for a long time because she died in a car accident several years ago. They also consider giving birth again. Considering their age and physical condition, it is unrealistic to have another child.

One day, my wife accidentally saw the little doll on our website and was immediately attracted. They are like real people. The couple eventually bought a little sex doll that looked like their daughter.

When the couple successfully received the doll, they immediately emailed me and told me it was so cute.

I am happy for them. After thinking about it, no matter how much the couple loves this doll, she will never grow up. The couple will gradually get older, but their little doll will now always stay this age. The couple couldn't see their daughter grow up, or see her leaving school with a book. She couldn't see herself leading another companion home, holding hands into the church...I felt a little sad about it.

Behind sex dolls, in addition to sex, we can also find more touching things, such as emotional, love, and social loneliness. I am slowly changing my views on these buyers and the industry.
