Those top of the range were something to see. I would think they're even more realistic nowadays. It's a funny old world for sure......
I think the modern dolls are very realistic robot type things and according to press reports cost up to £15,000, and that's not including a regular service and MOT.

Rise of the sex robots: Life-like doll goes on sale for £15,000 | Daily Express

Although why anyone would want sex with a doll, robot or not is beyond me.

London used to have some fairly sordid little areas at one time, however thanks to gentrification and the internet they have all but disappeared. Kings Cross has changed massively, whilst Soho is now a tourist area rather than a sex district full of clip joints.

Same here. Wouldn't have a clue. I had a very sheltered upbringing........ I remember seeing a telly show ages ago, which showed guys who owned these real expensive sex dolls. Really strange behaviour. These guys treated them like they were real. Like I said, it's a funny old world.

At least the brothels, probably, would clean them. I’m not sure individual owners would.

People have sex with sheep, horses, donkeys, pigs, and knot holes in fences. It surprises me not in the least, that people would want sex with life like dolls.


And frankly, if people are going to stick it somewhere besides a real live consenting human vagina...I think a doll is a better alternative to horses sheep, pigs and children.

Why anyone would have sex with an animal is also beyond me and such activities are illegal in many countries including my own.

I am sure there are a small minority of people who engage in lots of unsavoury and sordid things, it doesn't mean I have to somehow agree with what they do.

As for being a better alternative, it possible is if you are some kind of sexual deviant in the first place, for the rest of us it's not an alternative.

I don't think I said anywhere that you or anyone else should agree. Or that you should use a sex doll as an alternative.


I am merely pointing out that there are a lot of people who like to poke their pickle in odd places. At least with a sex doll, no one gets hurt.

But that's what you did clearly write.

Which is fair enough but it doesn't mean I can's state that it's beyond me why any one would want to have sex with a plastic doll, which is also fair comment.

It's also not just men, some women also engage in what I would consider fairly disgusting behaviour.
