Real Dolls: Love in the Age of Silicone
Real Dolls: Love in the Age of Silicone (PDF)
I met Meghan Laslocky at a party at the Game Developers Conference back in March. As always, teledildonics came up, 'cause that's apparently all I talk about these days. She mentioned that she'd done an article on Real Dolls at one point, and emailed me the link.
3 months later, I actually read my email.
So, here you go. 28 pages on the history of the Real Doll, a few user stories, and some theory on why $6,500 worth of silicone and plastic can turn into a relationship, an addiction, and a hobby, all at once.
