Does a sex doll objectify female body?

There was a recent news about a sex doll being groped to death by strangers. She was put on display in an adult exhibition and men flocked around to check if she was real. Indeed, her soulful eyes, her mischievous smile and her smart demeanor raised eyebrows. The modern sex dolls are so realistic with outstanding detailing that they can be easily mistaken for real women. Realistic sex dolls are like flames of femininity, embodying the beauty of women, so how then can they objectify the female race? They are created by sculptors who have genuine admiration for a woman’s body. 

THE OBJECTIFICATION THEORY

According to The Objectification Theory published by Barbara L. Fredrickson and Tomi-Ann Roberts, sexual objectification occurs whenever a woman’s body, body parts, or sexual functions are isolated from her whole being and treated as objects simply to be consumed or coveted. The same argument holds ground on the use of vibrators as objectification of man because it is shaped as a penis minus the body. Porn too celebrates sexual objectification.

The concept of sexual objectification is born from the feminist theory. The society at large, believes in two gender roles, either 100% man or a 100 % woman. While the woman is vied merely as “a love interest”, without wants and needs and the man is encouraged to be “man enough” to dominate her. The society needs to educate people at an early age that women don’t merely exist for other people’s enjoyment.

SEX ROBOTS

The robotic “sextech” is revolutionizing the global adult industry by adding AI features to pep up the pleasure quotient. Sex dolls are programmed to display distinct personality traits, skills and sense of humour, just like their female counterpart. These AI dolls talk and respond to touch and are built to nurture honest companionship with their owners. The same paradigm of relationship that internet users under fictitious usernames share with strangers, revealing their innermost feelings without fear of being judged.

While the sex doll can take care of the men’s perception and take care of their sexual needs, they can easily stop sex trafficking and replace prostitutes in brothels. There are sex doll brothels where visitors are entertained minus STDs and guilt of cheating. There are sex therapists recommending life like sex dolls to their patients diagnosed with hypersexualism. Health providers are treating pedophiles with love dolls in order to control their obsession and protect children from abuse. This wonderful toy does objectify a woman’s body so beautifully that it can be used to help create a safer society.
