In Germany, there are almost 8 million people ( 60% women and 40% men ) who suffer from loneliness, according to a report by the German Economic Institute from 2017. According to the definition, a perceived lack of social contacts or an unsatisfactory quality is the trigger for loneliness.
This has even been proven to make people ill, as it reinforces self-doubt, anxiety, and shyness when it comes to social interactions. These psychological problems can also lead to physical illnesses. These often stand in the way of finding a partner, and the basic need for sexuality, which is of paramount importance in a person's everyday life, is often denied. All of these factors are directly crucial to a person's well-being. But to what extent can lifelike love dolls help reduce or even eliminate feelings of loneliness?
By simulating a humanoid body, real dolls can not only satisfy sexual needs but also convey a sense of social companionship. One example of the successful coexistence of dolls and humans is China. Since the introduction of the one-child policy and the preference for male offspring, there are significantly more men than women. Another factor contributing to the high rate of lonely men is the large number of migrant workers who leave their families due to poverty to find work in the cities. Accordingly, many men have difficulty finding a life partner.
Lifelike love dolls have been providing a solution to this problem for several years now. Even young people are turning to these innovative sex toys for sex or to enjoy togetherness. For many, however, the dolls are more than just an object for sexual gratification. They are also a part of social life. A trip or a pleasant lunch with one's loved one has become increasingly important in recent years.
