My roommate recently showed me a picture of a ‘Gabriella Sex Doll’, and my first though was “What on earth?!” I mean… it looked like something out of a sci-fi movie! I was kind of fascinated and a little bit scandalized, and I knew I had to find out more about it.
Turns out, there’s actually a class of sex dolls that’s gaining popularity called “RealDolls”. And yes, one of the models is Gabriella. I was actually quite surprised by the level of detail that these sex dolls have. They’re not just rubber bodies with a generic face, these are incredibly realistic looking. They come with wigs, makeup, and the body proportions are customizable.
I was a little taken aback at the high price tags on these dolls, starting at over a thousand dollars. I imagine people buy them for a variety of reasons; some of them are collectors or just want something realistic to fantasize about. Others buy them for companionship, even taking them out in public.
It kind of made me sad that people are so lonely that they’re buying these lifelike dolls to keep them company. But, I mean, if that’s what they want to do, who am I to judge? I suppose, at the end of the day, they’re paying for a physical fantasy; it’s like buying a painting or a sculpture, just a lot more… adult.
Finally, I would just caution anybody planning on buying a Gabriella Sex Doll (or any other for that matter), to be extremely aware that they’re buying something very expensive and very personal. They shouldn’t just jump into it without being sure it’s something they actually want; they should also consider storage, maintenance, and being aware of the social implications.
Going beyond the surface of a Gabriella Sex Doll
Recently, research has been conducted into individuals that buy Gabriella Sex Dolls and other RealDoll models. It’s really interesting because, the people that do purchase them, range from men and women of all different age ranges. Everyone from younger adults in their twenties all the way up to retired elderly individuals were found to purchase these dolls. This research shows us that people from all walks of life have varying reasons for wanting to buy a sex doll.
Interestingly enough, it was found that most people see the doll as a trust-worthy confidant. They use the doll to tell all their secrets, worries, fantasies and anything else they wouldn’t feel comfortable telling another person in fear of being judged or laughed at. A majority of people interviewed said that they feel like they can talk to the doll without feeling embarrassed. Some even use it as a therapy tool to help cope with anxiety and depression.
Another major draw for people is customization. Not only can you get the body shape and size that you want, but you can customize the hair, face, nails and apply makeup yourself (or have it done by a professional). This allows the doll to have a bone structure and features that only exist in your imagination. It allows people to not only create a living fantasy of beauty, but also a customized companion that looks exactly the way they want it to.
Still, there’s an ethical question to consider; is it wrong to connect with something inanimate? Or for Penis Rings someone to be looking for a deeper connection from something that isn’t even real? Society considers it the norm for humans to form relationships with each other, but is it morally wrong to have a relationship/friendship with something not alive? Different people have different opinions; and this might change from person to person depending on their experience with the doll, or what it means to them.
Finally, as the dolls become more and more advanced, people started to ask whether this technology could ever be developed enough to make a difference in the general population. Perhaps the dolls could become so life-like, that they could end up in public places, such as restaurants, malls, cinemas, etc. This technology is being watched closely, to make sure that although incredibly advanced, it doesn’t border on the unreal and become something that the general public should be afraid of.
These are a few of the things that I’ve come to learn, from merely looking up one Gabriella Sex Doll. This technology is way more than just a sex toys toy, it’s sparking some very interesting debates. It’s making people question ethics, what it means to be alive, and how our privacy and social lives will change, in a world with more and more advancements in robotics and AI.
