I think SF is referring to a documentary about men who have fallen in love with their sex dolls. Very, very interesting stuff

Here. (possibly disturbing) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NeVI2kWsjE
It's... uh... strange. For me, actually, watching it was kind of creepy. You have been warned.

It's on BBC. I don't know what it is. But these guys have these $10,000 dolls taht have replaced real womeni n their lives.
One guy is packing his up to send to a "cleaner" and he says, "when she comes back it'll be like our honeymoon all over again."
What? *shudders*

Actually I found this a while ago, when I was discussing with my bf that people actually fell in love with their sex dolls. He couldn't understand how could people fall in love with what is basically a very fancy dildo, but there it is. People actually do fall in love with those things.
As a writer, I find this subject fascinating. I wish I could see the entire documentary.

I've seen it twice and as creepy as the subject is, I didn't even see any "train wreck" morbidity in it. Just something...emotionally stunted about these guys that I found fascinating.
But, hey, I'd rather watch this than
Actually, after thinking it over, it's probably better that these guys are fixated on inflatable toys. That way, the won't end up reproducing. (We hope.)
I don't find it creepy so much as sad. These guys are permanent infants.

RealDolls aren't inflatable dolls. They're solid latex built over a poseable aluminum frame and are customized according to the customer's instructions (eye color, hair color/length/texture, cup size, etc.). (I looked them up after the first time I'd seen the documentary.) (No, I'm not posting the link here.)

Yeah, $10,000 dolls. Very real. The guy I spoke of who was packing his away to the "Cleaner," when we first turned it on, I had no idea it was about dolls. The guy was lovingly picking it up like you'd carry a human, in his arms, and I thought it was his wife or SO and she was partially paralyzed from a stroke or something. It wasn't until I got a good look at her face and eyes, that I realized it was a doll.
I watched the BBC documentary, or at least the first 15 minutes of it, a while back. One guy was painting his doll's toenails and applying her makeup. All I could think of was two movies, Mannequin and Lars and the Real Girl. At least, until one of the guys starts pulling out all his guns. He has his fake woman on his compound, and plenty of firepower. That's when my hubby said "WTH are you watching?"

I saw an episode on Real Sex on HBO. These dolls are incredible life-like (with all the right "parts"). They're not your garden variety inflatable dolls.
Also, Lars and the Real Girl is a really good movie -- it was a bit disturbing at first, but it turns out to be a sweet movie.

All the right parts? Aren't they kind of missing the most important parts--namely brain and heart?
While I think it's kind of dumb, I can understand a guy who wants one as a toy. But going beyond that and to treat it as a living being is to descend into the realm of mental illness, no matter how life-like the dolls are.

There's also male versions of these dolls, and in my wandering around the internet I found some female dolls made of plush material and available in vampire and "furry" form. You wonder who it was that had the brilliant idea of making these things in the first place and who is probably rolling in more money than Bill Gates at this point.

One of the guys interviewed said he doesn't get the companionship he gets from human women. He just uses the dolls for sex.
But then all that kinda goes out the window when you find out he has eight dolls.

The "cleaner" who has a "normal" relationship (although the girl friend still had issues with his job), was saying that every once in a while, he gets a doll who is -- my words, so hot and sultry -- that he just has to have sex with it. He was even saying that they "push" back. In his mind they were very real.

Still cheaper than having eight girlfriends at the same time...
I think for some men, it fulfills a certain sexual fantasy. They're not really looking for a soulmate, but some really hot chick to have sex with. In real life, the possibility is probably nil, plus they'll have to talk to the woman. With the doll, they can have the ultimate fantasy about a woman come true, and act out all kinds of scenarios that they can't do in real life, such as rape.
It's not just for straight men. Like someone said, they also make male dolls (for the straight women and gay men, I suppose).
