I got an email recently about something that I had to read twice before I could believe what it was. It was about straight men being able to buy gay sex dolls, and I must admit that I was in disbelief. I immediately had a million questions, the top two being ‘Who the heck thought of this?’ and ‘Who do people think this option is for?’
After doing some research on the topic, the actual surprise was that this was not a very new invention. For the last few years, sex dolls have been used to cater to a variety of fantasies and vibrators target different genders. Recently, a new option for straight men was added to the mix.
When you think about it, it does make sense, because the majority of men will be attracted to the opposite gender. But for straight men who don’t really like women to the extent of wanting to partake in a relationship, they can still get intimacy in the form of these gay sex toys dolls.
I wasn’t sure how I felt about this whole concept. On the one hand, it provided another option for people who aren’t into the opposite sex, and on the other hand, it presented a lot of moral and ethical questions – mainly, is it okay to produce, buy, or use these dolls? I personally felt a bit strange about it.
After much thought, I decided that the answer lies in the individual. I’m not here to police anyone, and as long as it is not hurting anyone, then who am I to judge? In the end, the only thing that matters is that it makes people happy and gives people a chance for intimacy, even if it is artificial.
Anyway, after seeing all the research and statistics surrounding the topic, I felt compelled to share my thoughts with my friends who might have a similar opinion. To be honest, I didn’t know if everyone would agree with me, but I was curious to get their take on the whole thing, so I asked for their thoughts.
Most of my friends had never heard about the concept before, and most of them found it strange. Some thought it just encouraged objectification, while others said that it seemed like a way to avoid emotional commitment. Some had more positive opinions, claiming that it gave people a chance to explore their sexuality, without feeling obligated to anyone.
I couldn’t help but think that it’s just another way of people trying to find love, if that’s what they’re looking for. It may not be the conventional way, but it works for some people – and for that reason, I support it. After all, it’s not doing anything wrong, it’s just offering its users a chance at something they can’t get in any other way. That alone makes me feel like it’s a much better, and safer, alternative for anyone who needs it.
