TheMouse: I’m sure it means neither harm nor good as such. If some people make use of it in the sense that it is useful to them, no harm done. They are aware that a silicon doll doesn’t replace a human being. In some countries in Africa and Asia real women are as disposable as a rubber doll, and that’s something we should worry about, not about sex dolls.
While I agree with most of what you say, I hardly think any country, let alone countries limited to two continents have a monopoly on the mistreatment or abuse of women. But I digress ...
On topic: C'est la vie, people will always do as they wish when it comes to sexuality, censor them and they'll only do it more discretely, so I don't see much point provided its safe, sane and consensual I think the individual adult should be allowed to decide for themselves without undue interference.
My sole concern is the height and apparent age of certain dolls, I feel this
is something that can and should be regulated. I may be indifferent to the use of adult dolls by those who wish to, but there are also child-like and child dolls and that I am far from okay with.
