Discuss a story of “falling in love with a sex doll”

We once introduced a man who had a “sex doll” and had a wedding, but the girlfriend was not a real person, but a sex doll named Clarissa. In an interview with the media, we can learn that he put all his thoughts on the doll, not only to name it, but also to show affection from time to time, accompany it to eat, watch movies, and play games. If you are interested, you can read the previous article. In the face of this phenomenon, some people think that “this is personal freedom”, and some people think that he is “sick”. Falling in love with a sex doll, what’s going on?

Is this morally acceptable from an ethical point of view?

When we consider whether an action is ethical, one of the conditions is that moral principles should apply everywhere. If everyone fell in love with sex dolls, would it be morally acceptable? Or maybe your lover likes sex dolls, can you accept that?

Faced with these two questions, I believe most people’s answer is no. First of all, if everyone likes sex dolls, but the dolls are just dead and cannot reproduce the next generation, this is obviously problematic from the perspective of human reproduction as a whole. Love, on the other hand, is exclusive. Even if it’s just a doll, I’m sure no one wants their couple to love dolls more than they do? Thus, this phenomenon does not seem to pass the one-size-fits-all principle.

However, this is not the only statement. If it is based on other teachings, the answer may be quite the opposite. For example, highly individualistic and libertarians often distinguish between the “principle of liberty” and the principle of “do no harm to others”. According to these two principles, falling in love with a sex doll should be acceptable. Because this is personal freedom, do not harm others. Since it does not affect others, the behavior should be acceptable. What about you, do you think it’s acceptable? what reason?

Talking about control from psychology: is this a kind of pathological psychology?

Many people will add the word “sick” to this behavior, but let’s think about it, why do we think it is “sick”? Everyone has their own hobbies, isn’t this love? Why is finger biting okay, but sex dolls?

As can be expected, there are two reasons for this. first, because they treat the doll like an adult and put as much love into it as a human being. This inanimate object is like love incarnate. While we all long for love, most people cannot accept this kind of love that is completely out of touch with reality.

second, because of “controlling” behavior. While it can’t do anything, it features that you have full control over it. The complexity of relationships is uncontrollable, because we cannot control the thoughts and actions of others, so everyone should have the experience of being hurt when they are with others. You won’t be hurt by this. Even if this feeling is illusory, it doesn’t love you, but it also satisfies the inner desire for control.

But can you really fix the actual problem by allowing yourself to hallucinate to avoid harm? Reality is so cruel, getting along with people, in reality will hurt you. People with a strong desire to control are also one of the distinguishing characteristics of psychopaths, so it’s not entirely unreasonable to say they’re “sick.”

No matter how much you disagree with its behavior, we can’t deny how individual groups love lifelike sex dolls. ESDOLL’s editors appreciate that respondents are free to ignore the eyes of others and do whatever they want. He’s happy who can be a real partner in society? The world is so big, but the life of material desires, red lights, and green wine can’t find a real partner. How cruel is it like this? How much company do sex dolls bring them?

In reality, how many people have never been respected and cherished like this doll? ESDOLL editors still respect their own choices and admire the courage to pour this kind of love into a beautiful artwork when no one cherishes them in the impetuous society.
