The jury is out the last I read on whether child sex dolls would be useful in treating paedophiles.
Seems to be divided opinion
One group saying if they have the dolls they don't need to offend
Other group saying it reinforces the behaviour and everntually won't be enough
I imagine the same is true of an idea that dolls might protect actual women. My feeling is that most men want a reaction from a human.
Article recently had a man who asked whether it could cope with being beaten and thrown down the stairs. Another in the news had a "frigid farrah" setting.
I think the novelty won't last - real humans are available, cheap, and come in all shapes and sizes (and ages), and their body parts act like actual body parts whether it's being warm, soft or breaking and bleeding.
I don;t see these giving respite for prostituted people TBH.
On the subject I was reading the news the other day and a teenage girl had been abducted, drugged and they put an advert and pimped her for days, she was found after about a week. In that time she had had quite a number of men come and rape her, presumably after answering an ad about prostitution. She was very young and would have been distressed, and was drugged. None of these men contacted the police and it certainly seems as if they all went ahead and got their moneys worth. The idea that men who pay for sex are just normal nice men who can't get a partner for whatever reason or are just too busy or whatever, time after time stories come out that show that the men simply do not care and are happy to rape and don't even make an anonymous tipoff. That tells you something, and not something good.
