As I was scrolling through the Internet the other day, I came across a rather strange product – putting a face on a sex doll. I was taken aback. It was such an unusual concept – putting a face on a robot made for a sexual partner. I had to read more.
So I investigated further. It turns out that placing a photo of someone’s face on a sex robot phenomenon is becoming increasingly popular. It’s actually quite an elaborate process. The photo is digitized and then place onto the body of the robot. Even the height, weight, and body type can match the photo.
I’m not sure what to think of it. On one hand it seems very gimmicky. It almost seems like a novelty act. But on the other hand, it could be interpreted as a way to make sex dolls more life-like and to make them feel ‘personal’ for some people. It’s up to the individual to decide how they see it.
It’s potentially a little creepy, but I’m not passing judgement on people who do it. If someone wants to have a virtual partner in that way, then so be it. This kind of technology could serve as a form of comfort and compassion if used correctly.
People could create a partner who looks like someone they love or appreciate in any way. It could be a nice way to reconnect and to feel a presence with someone, even from far away. Even though this technology isn’t conventional, it could be used to make someone happy in a very real way.
I do understand, however, that this technology could be used in a way that harms others. For example if someone was to make a sex doll of a person without their consent, that would be very wrong.
Also, some people may take it too far and actually become addicted to their personal sex doll. While it could serve as a tool for comfort, it could also be a barrier between people and communication. It could take away the feeling between two people not be replaced with something that isn’t completely real.
I think it’s an interesting concept, but I’m still not sure what to make of it. It’s something to think about for sure.
Having thought about it further, I decided to dig deeper into what people are using the technology for. It seems to be a more than purely sexual thing; people are using the technology to feel connected to someone, or even to be able to interact with someone that has passed away.
These stories intrigued me. I wanted to know more, so I started to look up some of the case studies related to this topic. One woman I found was creating a sex toys doll of her deceased husband to help her cope with his loss. It was sort of her own way of dealing with her grief. It’s not a perfect form of closure by any means, but it is an interesting use of the technology.
It seems like technology is becoming so advanced that it can now be used to serve as a coping tool for people who are struggling to find someone with which to connect. Rather than using the doll with a sexual purpose, I found people using the face-on-sex-doll project in order to feel closer to someone they love, or to cope with the pain of losing them.
In general, it’s hard to define how I feel about the face-on-sex-doll project. On one hand, it has a lot of potential to be a positive use of technology, but on the other hand it could be used in a questionable manner. Ultimately, I guess it’s up to the individual to decide how they use it, and how they use it with respect and kindness toward others.
