‘Guys and Dolls’ Documentary Looks at Real Dolls and Those Who Love Them

I remember when I first caught the trailer for the Ryan Gosling film ‘Lars and the Real Girl’, I thought the subject matter could be a little too quirky to take seriously. The film, produced by Channel Five in the UK, tells the story of a lonely man who tries to pass of a ‘Real Doll’ as his girlfriend. Ridiculous! Well, thanks to Sean (someone who’s constantly searching the net for stories of synthetic love) ‘Guys and Dolls’ is a documentary that makes ‘Lars and the Real Girl’ look like ‘When Harry Met Sally’. Now I haven’t had a chance to watch this thing yet (i’m guessing it’s NSFW) but I had heard of this some time ago. Here’s a synopsis (from The DigiGuide, via The Current Outlook):
Documentary about the men who use sophisticated life-size dolls for sexual satisfaction and more - such as dates, affection and lifelong companionship. Featuring a young American man who gives his doll daily massages in the home he shares with his disapproving Mum and Dad; a British man who takes his doll out on day trips to the coast where she watches him hang- glide; and two Americans who live with multiple dolls, one of whom shares his eight synthetic lovers with his human girlfriend.
Sounds like some good clean fun! Seriously, this is pretty strange and makes me feel much better about the Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan 25th Anniversary U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 16-inch Starship I just bought. You can check out the entire film below thanks to Google Video. I know i’m going to as soon as I get home and finish assembling my starship and placing it in my display case.

Are Real Doll creating the option for people to become happy without human interaction or are they trying to provide SOMETHING for those who are unhappy already?

It looks like a little bit of both.

There was another take on this at Hot Docs a few years ago, a Canadian documentary film called A Perfect Fake. Here’s my review: http://www.torontoscreenshots.com/2005/04/28/ a-perfectfake/

Thanks, Jay!
This is what I love about docs - getting to see a side of society I wouldn’t normally get to see.

I watched this the other night. Wow, it’s quite a topic. I appreciated how well they selected their subjects. You had the whole range of personality types — the guys who stereotypically seem to be losers and can’t find women to love them; the guys that appear to have it together but sadly never find someone, and as a result seem to be bitter; the guys who only want the hassle-free sex; and the guy who appears to have a genuine loving relationship with a doll.
Just fascinating. The only thing I missed seeing was input from professionals, like psychiatrists, doctors, etc.

Yea! I agree.
I’m sure there’s some ‘kick in the balls’ therapy that would help them out. Like, the dude that hanglides should be able to find a woman. It’s not a prob with women, but with him.
In any case, I can’t wait till my real doll arrives in the mail.

Wow. I find these men kind of sad, especially the one who said his doll was going to miss him while she was away being repaired. Does he not realize that it is a doll and has no feelings? Seems kind of costly just for masturbation. Again..wow!

I’m not hating. As long as they happy. I want one too. The reason why i’m saying because realdoll.com soon going to be making one for women too. They display one of them so far but pretty soon they going to be making variety of real male doll. I’m a female right now i’m giving up dating guys. All they they do is hurt you, lie on you, cheat on you, take your money and all that stuff. With a doll they won’t. I saw a real female doll, no homo but shyt they looked good. Only wish they make a male real doll and looked just as good. Shyt i’m with it. Right now i’m purchasing a dildo for now and whenever i get myself situation and financially together, o hell yeah. I’m buying me a man hell yes. I’m looking forward for that.

i’m wit you too T. i’m just gotton through reading blogs about that superhead mess talking about having celebrities child. You see, they need to make one for women for sho!!!!!!!!! Now these motherfucker groupie as bitches leave these motherfucker celebrities alone you know!!!! It’s good they made a real doll for men. It’s a excellent idea. Right now, it’s too many weirdos, rapists, sex offenders, they diffinitely need one. Especially they can’t find a woman so they go to a park and grab somebodies child, son, daughter, niece, or nephew. It’s about damn time. I’m with T. too I’m hating. Yeah it’s cost money put it’s worth it. That’s the only way it’s going to keep the crime rate low. Back to that bitch ass Karrine Steffens, she should be the first customer to get one cuz right now she’s a mess, having babies from messing these damn celebrities. She needs a male Real Doll for real!!!!
