Japanese Sex Dolls Are Now Being Mistaken For Real Women
We're not entirely sure if this is good or bad news to be honest. Japanese manufacturer of 'Dutch Wives' (which is the term the Japanese use for 'sex doll') Orient Industry, says that business is booming.
That increase can be attributed to two things, firstly they're able to customise every aspect of the doll to suit their customers needs and secondly, because the dolls themselves are now so realistic, its easy to mistake them for genuine women.
"The two areas we identified as really needing improvement were the skin and the eyes. We feel we have finally got something that is arguably not distinguishable from the real thing."
Apparently, their skin feels soft and authentic as its made using a combination of flexible silicon, rather than the hard brittle rubber of former models.
Today, they even have fully movable joints, so you can contort and position your rubber girlfriend in all manner of positions and poses.
But just how much are people prepared to pay? Upwards of $1,000 and that's the starting price for some of the most basic model but they can go as high as $10K depending on the level of 'customisation'.
All of which is slightly more expensive than a dinner date with a REAL girl.
