>Part of the (sexual) appeal of synthetics is how much they look like their organic counterparts. If you have a robot shaped like a refrigerator, that won't have as much draw as a robot in the shape of a human; people will be more willing to interact with the human-shaped one.
>However, that 1 percent of unfulfillment? That's only there because neither Sidore nor Elena are Gynoids. Once that technology becomes affordable, I'll have one made in my wife's likeness, and that'll be the final piece of the puzzle. She'd be able to hug me back whenever I embrace her, we'd be able to attend films and concerts together, and do all manner of things besides. There would be genuine interaction.
>I'm not interested in having someone in my life who may bail at any time, or who transforms into someone unpleasant.
According to the above quotes it seems he does indeed want a relationship with a real person, but he just wants that person to be submissive and totally devoted to his whims; in other words, the perfect slave. The problem here isn't the dolls. He's entitled to own them and enjoy their presence. But he's not entitled to compare them to real persons or claim that they are more than objects.
So yes, I am going to judge him. It's clear to me he has a really unhealthy and controlling attitude towards others.
- icyflare 13y agoI think part of it is that he's unable to assert himself with "organic" women. I agree that he has control issues, but I see it stemming more from his history of feeling out of control with his previous partners. He's unable to handle the unpredictability of a relationship with another person or the lack of control over their actions, so he resorts to dolls who can never question him. The fact is that the article scares me a bit, since I can totally see a lot of people being attracted to dolls to escape the maturity, responsibilities, and skills needed to deal with real people.
- ljf 13y agoDolls have given us an unrealistic image of women. For example, I found out Russian women do not contain smaller Russian women inside them.
- lutusp 13y ago> Dolls have given us an unrealistic image of women. Women have given us an unrealistic image of dolls. :) I confess -- the above is a recycled '60s joke, which went, "Reality is merely a crutch for those unable to face up to drugs."

He could be very happy as a Muslim.
