According to recent survey data, an increasing number of Japanese men are choosing to date and even marry lifelike silicone dolls, with some going to the extent of holding wedding ceremonies. There are several reasons behind this trend. Firstly, the fast-paced lifestyle leaves many individuals with little time or energy to engage in relationships with real women. Additionally, the phenomenon is partially attributed to Japan’s otaku culture. Technological advancements also play a role, as high-end sex dolls now come in the form of full-size human replicas made of silicone, closely resembling real people. Let’s take a look at some scenarios of Japanese men interacting with these silicone dolls.
Scenario One:
62-year-old Japanese man Senji Nakajima takes his lifelike silicone doll to the beach for a vacation. Every year, ESDoll sells approximately 2,000 realistic silicone dolls in Japan, with a market price of $3,000. These dolls have movable hips and suction-type vaginas.

Scenario Five:

His wife strictly prohibits the doll from appearing in their home, and his daughter resists it, but his children have already come to terms with the reality.
