Is the renting of Realdolls prostitution?

First, this is a Realdoll:

I understand that in Japan there is a company that rents these things out. I'm going to assume that they have to adhere to some kind of sanitation law so the dolls have to be cleaned between rentals. The question that came up with some of my friends the other night is whether something like this would be legal in the US or if it would be shot down as a form of prostitution.

Thoughts?

    Creepy?

    If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

    How in the hell could someone logically even conclude that it's prostitution?  There isn't one person, paying another for sex.  Therefore, it's not prostitution.  It's just plastic.

     

    If that is prostitution, we're going to have to go on a vibrator and fleshlight hunt.

    "I just found out I have Herpes. :( "

    "really? do you know where it came from?"

    "A real doll rental."

    "ew"

    I certainly would hope so.

    @Sab

    I agree. I don't see how this could be viewed as prostitution. Not even close.

    Not prostitution, just weird.

    However, on the upside, you don't have to engage in meaningless conversation.

    lol'd

    Yeah this is no different than a vibrator or a flesh light. It's just bigger and offers better simulation is all. I wouldn't use it though as I prefer the real thing.

    George Carlin... is that you?!

    It's not prostitution but I think it's still weird.  Maybe by the time I'm 90 it will be accepted but I can't do it.

    No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

    Question: Are you allowed to "look beneath the hood" before you rent it?  You know, just so you know what you're getting.

    First off, this thread is not pointless. We're about 15 posts in and the replies have amused me greatly.

    Second, I find it absolutely hilarious that many of you are more grossed out by renting a sex doll, which has been scrubbed down with industrial strength cleaners, than sticking it in a human prostitute who may be just as disgusting if not more so.

    Yeah, I'll agree that it's creepy, but rest assured SOMEONE would rent these things on a regular basis. My guess is that several thousand someones would rent these things if they could. And IF that were to actually happen, we would have to find some legal way to stop it from happening. The public health issue is a dead end since the owners of these dolls would just sanitize them to the standards of medical equipment. That means possibly redefining what prostitution is.

    In this case, you are renting your body. It isn't the body you inhabit, but it is A body that you have legal ownership of....

    It's a piece of rubber.  It has no soul, no brain, it is a piece of rubber.   Where is there a law about renting out a piece of rubber?  I cannot believe  I am getting into this conversation.  Anyway...who cares?  Seriously...if some guy wishes to do the nasty with a rubber doll...well - knock yourself out - even if you pay to do it.  LOL!

    Besides in 30 to 50 years, there will no doubt be pleasure dolls that act and behave like a real woman and men - like in the movie AI.   By then it'll be common and nobody will think it is wrong.

    Well I don't know about anyone else who has commented, but just because I think making it with a doll is weird does not mean that I think doing it to a prostitute is wonderful.  I think they're both strange, just for different reasons.

  • IlliusIllius Member UncommonPosts: 4,142

    I feel sorry for whoever has to clean them.....

    Its a doll [like the hello kitty dolls some collect in your mums basement ] Exept its a doll of a woman And the purpose of a woman is [in this context] to have sex with it [Like jerkin off to a WoW alt] Except this is not a real woman rather its a rubber doll with lifelike atributes.

     

    And some can buy  there own from some American company i cant be bothered to find and link for you all. But i hear they cost a lot But as a consilation you can chose its atributes including its size and colour [so you can make it look like a Blood Elf babe and dress it up to roleplay with].

     

    Sorry couldnt resist
