Introduction
Some of the first sex dolls were invented by Dutch sailors in the seventeenth century who would be isolated at sea during long voyages. These masturbatory dolls, referred to by the French as dame de voyage and by the Spanish as dama de viaje, were made of sewn cloth or old clothes and were a direct predecessor to today's sex dolls. The first one was produced in 1908.
Early this year the whole sex doll thing has been trending on social media and most folks have given their own opinions about this invention which is created to meet the sexual need of a man. Without complains of fatique and refusal of sex.
The name of this doll "SEX DOLL" says it all about this doll not minding the justification any person(s) would give regarding the invention of this doll. This invention will help promote sex before marriage and outside marriage.
I would like to open our eyes to some truths about this sex doll under two factors ;cost and relationship.
Cost
The price of a sex doll is over 800k in Nigeria currency. For me this is a total waste of fund as there are a million and one meaningful things to do with such money that would be more fulfilling. The cost of this doll can cause men to do all sort of illegal things to acquire this doll thereby increasing the rate of crime.
There are out there a whole lot of hungry souls roaming the streets in every country and I believe investing such amount in an NGO (non governmental organization) will put smiles on the faces of the beneficiaries and give them a reason to be hopeful and live on. This is more fulfilling than acquiring a sex doll.
Even if you can afford this doll and it feels like no big deal, you were not blessed so much to be wasteful or selfish in using it.
To get a partner (wife or husband) doesn't cost that much. This leads me to my second point.
Relationship
This innovation will only lead to isolation. Men and women who can afford this dolls would most likely see no need in building an intimate relationship with others as they would believe they have a doll that serves that purpose. Humans were created to relate and interact with one another and not just for sex.
The satisfaction a good relationship be it marriage or friendship brings can never be compared to that which some man made invention can.
Sex is good in the confines of a marriage but when done otherwise it becomes a destructive way of living which can affect the way we perceive the opposite sex.
Dangers of sex dolls
- It creates a sexual attraction mindset that does not allow the individual to keep healthy relationships.
- It can also cause low self esteem and inferiority complex as over time the individual looses his ability to relate well with others.
- The ability of the sex doll not to nag becomes a snare to the individual because he becomes blind to his faults cos this doll can't correct or scold this individual when he or she does something wrong.
- This could further build an abusive mindset in the individual as he can deal with the doll whichever way he deems fit and consciously or unconsciously he starts to deal with other people that way.
- It also makes men to perceive women as object of sex rather than the help meet she's created to be.
The list is endless and its effect on our emotions unimaginable.
Conclusion
In June 2006, Henrik Christensen of the European Robotics Research Network told the UK's Sunday Times that "people are going to be having sex with robots within five years."
Reacting to the ongoing development of "sex robots" or "sexbots", in September 2015, Kathleen Richardson of De Montfort University and Erik Billing of the University of Skövde created the Campaign Against Sex Robots, calling for a ban on the creation of anthropomorphic sex robots. They argue that the introduction of such devices would be socially harmful, and demeaning to women and children.
Let's stand up as humans and kick against this before it tears our humanity apart. There are better inventions that we can use this technology for than this.
I need you and you need me to survive.
Say no to sex dolls steemians.
