We’ve just watched “When Men Prefer Silicone”, an Arte documentary about sex dolls.
This documentary introduces us to several figures connected to the world of silicone sex dolls. And it gives us a glimpse into their world and their way of life. The whole thing is non-judgemental, but always with the question in the back of your mind. Why do some men prefer silicone to a real, flesh-and-blood woman?
The man who lives with love dolls
A man who lives alone, in the company of his numerous love dolls. He takes one out for a walk from time to time, for a photo shoot. His kids are aware of it, and have eventually come to accept, more or less, his rather unusual passion.
The woman running a brothel of sex dolls
The woman running a brothel of sex dolls, who wipes the customers’ semen off her dolls without any real disgust. After all, she’s wearing gloves. And it’s no dirtier than doing the washing up in a restaurant.
A sex doll manufacturer
A German manufacturer of love dolls, who fits the dolls’ eyes into their sockets. Standing in front of headless love doll bodies hanging from hooks, like meat carcasses in a butcher’s shop, he explains the diversity of doll anatomies.
Why do men prefer dolls?
There’s probably no universal answer to this question. Is it the fear of not satisfying the other person? But a doll doesn’t judge. She has no expectations, no needs. She waits, motionless, until the moment her owner wants to attend to her. And she fills the void of his loneliness, without the complexity of human relationships.
