Do Humans Fantasize About Falling In Love With Sex Dolls?

 Researchers at a domestic university conducted a survey of college students to see if they would fall in love with sex dolls. More than two-thirds of men agree with this view, while the proportion of women who oppose this view is almost the same.

The first reaction is to attribute this difference to gender. Who would disagree with the statement that as long as the basic desires of mankind are satisfied, mankind will not be interested in anything? When interpersonal relationships are in chaos, and psychological and physical transmission of diseases becomes a real threat, sex dolls may be the best choice to get rid of this relationship.

Even realizing the inclination of this view, the ESDOLL editor thought that a film “Air Puppet” with alternative consciousness as the theme also supports this view. This work directed by Japanese anime master Hirokazu Kee tells the story of an anime sex doll named “Xiao Wang” who wakes up when his owner Hideo goes to work. When they were together, Xiu Xiong used his best to take care of this lifeless TPE sex doll, bathing it, combing her hair, dressing up, and falling in love with her. But when he found out that she was “alive”, he demanded that it be restored as before.

As an “Air Doll” promoted to tell the story of urban loneliness, it is actually a journey of seeking love in another realm of consciousness. Desire to seek love, in this basic instinct, is completely human. But in this world full of bizarre love, its path of seeking love ended in tragedy. Hideo is portrayed as a bad guy, but in the age of fast-food love, is he an outsider or a normal one?

Is everything terrible? When seeing the conclusions of the research, the ESDOLL editor also thought of another movie “She”, which was directed by Spike Jones in 2013, starring Jackie Phoenix, who played a lonely man in the future world. , Had an affection with an ai sex robot doll called “Samantha”.

At the beginning of the film, Theodore was in the grief of divorce and did not want to try a new relationship. However, the loneliness that came from the city prompted him to try to get in touch with Samantha. Perhaps it was his pain in the failure of real interpersonal relationships that stimulated him, but who can tell? Perhaps Scarlett Johansson’s voice attracted him.

If “Air Puppet” still tells the last tenderness of man, “She” is just the opposite. At the end of the film, Samantha gave him a fatal blow. It told Theodore that in addition to being with him, it was also in contact with thousands of people every second. This was a blow to the audience. It hurts Theo even more. It allows us to have a common understanding of technology. Samantha’s robot multitasking program makes life easier, rather than suddenly leaching out all meanings of life, just like Samantha brings such a hollow, Instrumental understanding is the same.

However, the different treatment of non-human love in “Air Puppet” and “She” also reveals a common fact. Although “Xiaowang” and “Samantha” are not human, they are very human. For “Xiaowang”, this is easier to imagine. After all, she is a very human-like sex doll, but even the voice-only “Samantha” will make people think that she is a real person. When they appear on the screen, the audience cannot imagine them as anything other than humans. Simply admitting them requires constant struggle with the impulse to treat them as non-human.

When we think of them as human beings, they all pose a more fundamental question to us: when discussing sex dolls, what are we talking about? With the infiltration of artificial intelligence, should we realize that we may not be able to distinguish between robots and humans beyond the boundaries of science?

If study participants saw a sex doll or a new-age anthropomorphic robot before being asked this question, their answers might be completely different.
