Since time immemorial, human beings have constantly sought ways to better enjoy life. This quest has seen man visualize, conceptualize, create and recreate mundane and incredible things. Technology has immensely helped with the realization of these feats and today we are faced with one that has sparked debates supporting and opposing it. We are talking about the sex doll; real life-sized voluptuous synthetic creations that are here for one major reason: to satisfy the sexual urges of men.

There have been lots of arguments, jokes, banter, ‘fights’, etc., about it on Twitter, since someone shared a photo, and we thought to share the pros and cons of having the dolls that retail at about N800,000.

It’s mostly all fun and games; enjoy and share.

Advantages

1. Readily available

Your sex doll is readily available, 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Just make sure batteries are charged and enjoy yourself. If a guy also has a higher sex drive than his partner, the sex doll can help in fulfilling the difference, instead of leaving him starved and unsatisfied

2. Reduces unfaithfulness

We did not say end unfaithfulness, because some people have multiple partners who are ready to give it to them left and right, but still cheat. It reduces unfaithfulness in the sense that if sex is all you want, and your partner is not available, or has a headache, or is on her period or is pregnant, you can just unzip your fly, turn your doll on and satiate yourself. They won’t also cheat on you fam. Life is good

3. Improves performance

If you are having issues with your partner, and you’re too shy or insecure to learn, or she’s not able or willing to make you better, you can greatly improve your skills when you practice with a doll. From the right way to thrust, pace, and breathe the doll gives you the opportunity to find a solution to sexual deficiencies you may have.

4. No strings attached

If you’re not interested in a relationship, a sex doll won’t fall in love with you. If you’re in a relationship and you just need to ejaculate, the sex doll won’t damage your relationship with your partner (especially if you both agree to it). In essence, these devices free you from all emotional attachments or any type of commitment, whilst you enjoy life.

5. No complaining

Dolls do not complain, nag, provoke or judge you. They do not want to ‘talk’ before, during or after the sex. They do not ask you ‘what are we now’, or ‘where is this headed’, after some rounds of hanging leg. The size of your dick doesn’t matter. Big or small, they’re fine with it. You’re not there to kill yourself while trying to satisfy them. You can come immediately or knack till their battery runs out. All they’re there for is your complete satisfaction. Simple, short.

6. For the socially awkward

Not every man is man enough to woo ladies. Not every man who can woo ladies is attractive enough to get them to open their legs. Not every man has the time to woo a woman, or convince one he deserves to enter the place. The sex doll is convenient for this class of people. They exist, whether you believe it or not. Better a sex doll than assaulting people, if you ask me.

7. Hit it raw

A lot of people do not understand the joys of having sex without a condom, and nutting inside warm puna. The sex doll can afford you that opportunity. You can go raw, cum with reckless abandon, without any STD, STI or pregnancy scare. This enjoyment cannot kill you.

8. Saves you money

No dates, no club nights, no valentine, Christmas, New Year, Easter, Ramadan, Sallah, Anniversary, her birthday and your birthday gifts. No compulsory movies, candlelit dinners, etc. No ‘request an Uber’ or ‘come and pick me’. No breakfast in bed, pizza or ice cream or periodic shopping. No monthly allowance, Brazilian hair stipend or Fenty by Rihanna funds. After the initial cost of acquiring a doll, no more recurring expense. Just enjoy yourself dey go.

 Disadvantages

1. Cost

Oh well, if you have plenty money, this does not apply to you. But in a country where minimum wage is about 20,000 and most of the workforce earn about N100,000 monthly, not a lot of people can or will shell N800,000 for a fvck machine.

2. Social isolation

Man by default is a social animal. We’re always seeking ways to connect with other human beings. Even though the advent of electronic media has reduced the need for physical interaction, people still need to have sex with other human beings, so they have no choice but to be physically social. Now, with the introduction of sex dolls, even that might reduce. Intimacy with sex robots might lead to more social isolation, making more people recluses.

3. Ruins human relationships

According to experts, spending too much time on robot relationships can make it difficult to forge human friendships. We miss out on the intimacy and empathy that’s the foundation of human interaction, so when we finally go back to the human route, we can become overwhelmed with a real sexual relationship because of the ease we’ve experienced with robots.

4. No communication

Robots don’t talk, ask you how your day went, give you a shoulder rub, kiss you on your forehead, or tell you everything will be okay when those are the words you need. Sex dolls won’t fix you breakfast in bed, pack you lunch or have dinner waiting for you in the evening. They won’t be there to support your dreams and ambitions with ideas, recommendations, words of affirmation, etc. They won’t give you lap dances, strip tease for you, Netflix x chill with you, or drop heart emojis on your fire pictures. They don’t love or care for you the way a special person will. You will talk to yourself till you run mad.

5. No support

Financial, moral, emotional, or mental support … sex dolls won’t give you any of these. You are on your own fam. Simple. Short. End. I almost feel sorry for you. But at least you get to knack anytime you want.
