“She’s the bounciest doll I’ve ever been with.”
No, that’s not a line said by Nathan Detroit. It was a quote in and article I read about the new sex dolls that the weirdos in the sex toy biz are coming out with. Another gem of a quotation: "she’s so durable you can jack up your car with her." Gee, just what I wanted in a playmate. Except maybe a working set of organs and a brain. I don’t get this trend. I mean, we guys are renowned for having sex with just about anything, but inanimate objects designed to look and feel like the objects we’d rather be boinking? Personally, I think i’d rather be celibate than resort to sex with a doll.
So it’s like this. You drop 5000 dollars on a doll to have sex with. While you never have to feed it, or talk to it, or any of the normal taking care of a human bit, you do have to give it a good cleaning after you’ve finished with the copulation. I’m guessing that since there’s orifices involved, it requires a bit of disassembly to get all the spunk out of there. It’s got to be weird removing the head of something you just violated just to get at it with some Clorox.
Besides, this entire things kind of selfish - it takes sex and makes it all about your own pleasure. When did sex stop being about two people doing naughty things together to see if they could maximize each other’s pleasure. (Or, for you few Thumpers I haven’t scared away yet: It’s just for making babies. That’s it.) Did I miss a memo somewhere? This doll thing is basically a ridiculously elaborate and expensive way to masturbate. Anyway, if you want to read the entire story (which may be somewhat NSFW, but then, most of this post hasn’t been) you can catch it here.
In other news, I made it to work not needing my wipers last night. I was rather amazed. I almost thought I’d get that treat at lunchtime, as there wasn’t any rain falling then, but it started shortly after I hopped in the car. And even while it was raining on my way back home after lunch, I almost needed sunglasses because the sun and blue sky were just about to peek out.
Also, you might recall that I mentioned the battle for Superman last week. Scott Kurtz, the writer of PVP, came up with this interesting conclusion. Personally, it sounds like a winner to me.
So 10 days down, and 2 to go. Then what i’m sure is gonna seem like an uber short weekend. Then again, i’m not sure how long of a weekend there should be to recuperate from a 12 day work week.
