I checked out the realdolls.com website and confirmed my view of these dolls. Since the company sells other sex toys, the dolls are in the same category—a sex toy, only more realistic than the others. Although I find it a little freaky, I think that having sex with the “torso” is much freakier than the doll! Talk about amputation! I think “normal-minded” people purchase the dolls and use them strictly for masturbation, then put them aside. It’s the ones who actually use them as companions, giving them human qualities that worry me. These people suffer from psychological problems such as poor self-perception, loss and abandonment issues, and anti-social behaviors, (as those in the documentary). They need help because they have lost touch with reality. They are disconnected from society; therefore, they have found something they can connect to. I’m not sure if this is a bad thing because it may prevent other deviant behavior that may be harmful because it fulfills their needs physically; and the human feelings they associate with the dolls in their mind, makes them real which satisfies their emotional needs. It’s quite sad that they are that lonely that they’ve resigned themselves to this form of companionship, but non-the-less, the dolls serve their purpose and puts a little happiness in their life.
I couldn’t find Gordon Griggs on myspace, but he is on youtube. Here’s the link:

I have mixed feeling about the video, for me the idea of being with a doll is disgusting and not normal, however i cant say that it is that much different than some of the sex toys people buy in sex stores. I personal am not one for the sex toys,however i dont knock those who are. The thing that bothered me about the dolls and these guys is the fact that the guys seemed to be attached to them in a very unhealthy way. I do agree that the men need help and need to learn how to build and maintain healthy relationships with people in and outside of their family. Now with that said i must also state they are not hurting anyone by having sexual relations with the dolls. What works for some does not work for others.
I am not savvy with the myspace stuff. My son swears that it is so easy. But, I have very strong somewhat "shake-my-head" feelings about all of this. This may sound harsh but, people having sex with seemingly real life dolls is totally abnormal. They really seriously need help. They are either somewhat or almost totally disconnected with reality and/or society. What will they create next? Real dolls that are children and babies? It is very sad and for some of them it seems hopeless. I wonder what is going on in the mind of the creator of these dolls?
I do feel that these men having dolls for companionship is different but I also think to each's own. If they are not harming anyone (except themselves by thinking this is normal behavior)I say whatever floats your boat!!!
I think that Guys and Dolls was an interesting example of how some individuals in society are coping with the lack of connection to the larger society. There was a strangeness and also a sadness that I fealt for each person. Each was making an attempt to connect with a doll rather than with anothre human being. The isolation that each individual experienced was also concerning. I don't have nay issues with people looking for new ways to enhance their lives both socially and sexually.But, find it disturbing that our society has become so detached that someone's only companion is a plastic object. The next step to this form of connection to intimacy is a doll that walks, talks and even get pregnant. Who knows! It is so important to try to stay connected and when we observe others who are far removed from society to try to pull them in as long as they don't own guns and swords like the Virginia dude.

I was really on shocket at the moment I saw the report of Man Love Dolls it's sad to know how man can be disconnect from this world when they need a doll to be company or feel someone love them. These people have psychological problem they aren't able to be connect with the real life and they can not be associate with from the society and they put the human associate only with the dolls.
Wasn't it something to hear one of the men say that having sex with his many dolls was like a higher form of masturbation. My feeling is that if you need to interrupt other daily activities to masturbate or if you need a particular object or body part to focus on in order to achieve orgasm, such as the doll it is possible that you have a psychological problem. A compulsive masturbation problem or sexual fetish. They need some therapeutic intervention help but they would probably only get help if for some reason they fell into the court system. These men suffer from anxiety, obession, isolation and the inability to seek or maintain healthy intimate relationships.
