More and more men in the world are choosing to invest in buying very realistic sex dolls, giving up the search for a real partner. Their attitude toward them has changed recently, with their main purpose - sexual gratification - shifted in search of a sense of belonging, connection, and loneliness. Puzzles of men taking the dolls to a movie, walking in the park and traveling became more common in the country.
Some of them already consider dolls as a life partner, and some see them as girls - such as 29-year-old Song Bo, who was recently diagnosed with a head tumor and decided he didn't want to cause sadness in his environment and gave up the idea of wedding and children. He cultivates a doll and treats her like his daughter, and buys her other dresses and accessories.
36-year-old Zhang Pan, a Beijing stock trader, says his doll is actually the female version of himself. "She's me in a woman," he claims after giving up on searching for a real woman to answer the definition. He buys her clothes and jewelry and takes pictures of herself in various pastimes. Zang's family lets him keep the doll in the meantime, but they still insist that he marry a real woman.
Lee Chen plans to marry his puppet, having divorced 12 years ago. The 58-year-old intends to marry a doll, which he claims is 24. He says she makes him feel younger and stronger.
The innovations in the field make silicone dolls look and feel more and more real. According to the Japanese Times, China's sex toy market is valued at over 100 billion yuan (nearly NIS 59 billion).
