We determine price based on quality
First of all, to summarize, value determines price. The value of the need a product satisfies determines its price. The physical doll actually fulfilled some specific needs (not sexual ones) and listened to me slowly. Every now and then, you see reports like this in the news: "Vacuum cleaner found a body in the trash, the police were called and it turned out to be a plastic doll. They were made into sex dolls. Wax museum." Indonesian fishermen hit inflatable doll and called him the "god of heaven". As young people in the new era, we always think that we deserve these "stinky" news, so we slip aside and type on the keyboard with both hands. Wait until it's late at night and type the following words without anyone reaching the search box: Human beings' life circle and cognitive range are quite limited. When you come out of it, you find that there are many questions in this world. There are parallel worlds involved, colorful "circles", and the circles are certainly not small.
The actual demand for dolls may be much greater than we thought, and they and their fans are not as "monolithic" as we think. Sex dolls originally originated in German military camps during World War II, but according to business sources, sex dolls that truly became consumer goods originated in Japan. Physical electric hip sex doll originated in Japan in the 1970s (this design is really hard-working and frugal). 1990s, seamlessly connected physical dolls. 2000 "Pocket Gems" series. Due to the high production cost, the price reached 560,000 yen, equivalent to RMB 30,000 (this was the situation in 2001, and this price could buy a bedroom in Beijing's Second Ring Road). Today, thanks to technological innovations, you can choose different body parts for her, just like in Animoji (of course, the price is quite high, but much lower than the price of a set of real-life dolls (about 50 thousand )Yuan). )
In keeping with the evolution of the doll, the price of the doll was quite high, far exceeding that of most consumer products at the time. I have to say that if it was just a tool for releasing hormones, the price would be too high. In 2000, the average annual income of Japanese families was US$18K (data from CEICDATA), the exchange rate was around 107, and the contract was 192W yen, or 56W, which ultimately consumed nearly three-thirds of the annual income. When you buy a doll, its cost cannot be measured in terms of daily consumer goods. A sex doll that looks like a hormone-releasing toy is a very important stage decision for buyers.
So what do people actually buy to satisfy their needs? You should understand that sex dolls, whether it is the high price of the physical doll or the perception of fans, I do not consider it a "sex" doll. In order to pursue a more realistic touch and a more perfect body structure, the physical doll has a large amount of solid silicone and metal skeleton inside. The weight is generally 20-40KG, which sounds like only 80 kilograms, but if it is a real person, it should be very light. However, for an unpowered doll, its weight is considerable, making it difficult to move or swing it. So it's impossible (in Newton's case) to make a physical doll into an elegant and versatile "tool to ventilate you."
But in a spiritual sense, she will never resist or oppose your demands. For example, if you want to play video games quietly, she will sit beside you silently; for example, if you want to find someone who is unhappy but can't complain, she is definitely the best. A good listener, for example, if you want to see her in pure black women's clothing, she will wait for you to change clothes with a smile; therefore, you like them and need them very much. "Yan" relieves loneliness, satisfies the desire for control, and satisfies the desire for collection and expression. Looking for odds is not normal. However, its appearance has comforted the hearts of many people.
In fact, the meaning of the existence of physical dolls is that after all, you can watch a very cult but actually very healing movie: the movie is called "Inflatable Doll Love", but the dolls in the movie are actually physical dolls. Of course, this is not intertwined (apparently the person who translated the title confused the concepts of physical dolls and inflatable 160cm sex doll, and I will write a separate introduction on the difference between inflatable dolls and physical dolls). Of course, the focus of the movie is not the physical doll, but the story of an enthusiastic nerd with social phobia and his relatives. But the movie also tells the story of the existence of real dolls, and the acting is pretty good. I also hope that everyone can be kind to everyone who is not like us, just like the family of the protagonist in the movie.
