Sex With Dolls

It's pretty obvious to me why it's a bit weirder to rent a sex doll than to just buy one, for the obvious sanitation reasons. To my knowledge, even the most ecologically aware, pro-recycling types don't advocate implementing reusable toilet paper, especially in public restrooms. That would be significantly more icky than single-use toilet paper.

Similarly, when you are having sex with a sex doll, you're having sex with everyone who's ever had sex with that sex doll. And while the concept of sex with myself is a bit weird, the concept of sex with hundreds of unknown, unseen strangers is much, much worse.

Although, I do think that there is a horizon of creepiness, call it the Icky Event Horizon. And, much like once something goes beyond the event horizon of a black hole, we can no longer say what happens to it, because all information is lost, all things that take place on the far end of the IEH are simply equally icky, because there's nothing but badness that takes place there. A rented sex toy absolutely takes place beyond the IEH.

That said, you really ought to go check out the comments on Matt's post. They truly run the gamut from ridiculous to absolutely sublime. My favorite so far:

Well, but on the other hand, the authorities frown on boiling your new human girlfriend before sleeping with her. Advantage, RealDoll!
