You've probably hear of the RealDoll™ -- the totally realistic, anatomically correct, uncanny valley crossing life size synthetic mannequins that some men choose for mates:

Davecat Marries His Doll

In the not-so-distant-future, it's not so impossible to imagine robots who could talk, walk, and mimic human personality -- either through artificial intelligence or human remote control:

So, since Mormonism forbids any form of sexual release except the sex act in marriage, will unmarried Mormons turn to marriage and sex with synthetics?

Or, will The Brethren simply force people to marry? There's a new film out now about a society that forces people to marry or turns them into animals if they don't:

Synthetic women don't complain and can be programmed to say whatever you want them to say so they become Perfect Molly Mormons:

I worked at JC Penney for a few weeks and fell in love with a naked mannequin in the storeroom. Then a few years ago, I met a guy at work who owned 5 mannequins with whom he would cross-dress and role-play. I wasn't the least bit shocked. It reminded me a bit of Harry Mudd's robots on Star Trek.

I think the Mormon church would classify sex dolls as both pornography and masturbation.

Utah No. 1 in online porn subscriptions, report says

Utah: Online Porn Capital of America?
http://www.pcworld.com/article/160566/utah_online_porn.html

"One key finding: The biggest consumers of online adult entertainment live in the great state of Utah. An average of 5.47 people per 1000 broadband subscribers pay for porn in Orrin Hatch's home state. (Utah also leads in porn consumption among the general population and dial-up users, in case you're wondering.)"

The studies are flawed as they measure subscriptions, not consumption.

Does a rate of 5.5 subscriptions per thousand broadband consumers mean only one in 200 people is watching porn? Certainly not. It means only one in 200 is paying for it.

Without a consumption-based model, it's impossible to tell which state is the number one consumer of porn.

Fine, Utah is the #1 consumer of paid porn in the US.
Happy now?

Yes my Lord Mudd.

Finally, The Brethren received a revelation from the Big Robot In The Sky that will end feisty sisters from demanding to be ordained into the priesthood and to attend General Priesthood Meeting.

Also changing common LDS term "helpmeet" to "helpbot".

Oh, to be in the shoes of Crow and Servo now!

didn't I see this in the movie "Westworld" ?

Davecat is definitely an oddball, but if he's happy and not hurting anyone, well, you know...I've seen him featured on several shows and I wonder if one of his female friends is harboring some unrequited love for him. However, if he wants dolls (he has two now) that don't talk back to him and are completely his to do with what he wants, it's probably better that he doesn't involve himself with human relationship.

I can't imagine TSCC ever being ok with the members buying sex dolls and probably falls under the perversion and unholy sexual acts.

Objectaphilia is definitely one of the stranger, but least harmful, philias IMNSHO. I've watched the shows with a guy who's in love with his car, a woman who married a carnival ride, and another guy aroused by his animal pool toys. Different strokes, I suppose, but it's definitely in the weird category.

and doesn't think he can have a "real" girlfriend.


There are a lot of Mormon guys like that who also have a lot of sexual repression problems and/or marriage for breeding pressure and I don't think it's too far fetched for some of them to turn to synthetic women.

As a female that that most men consider to be undesirable because of her physical size (i.e. height) I can tell you more than you want to know about how men seemed to be programmed to want a "type" (a'la Boris Becker, Tiger Woods) and if they can't have anyone who meets their specifications they feel as if they missed out on life. Some would even forgo a relationship with a real woman so they can have the type they want. Now you can even get life size replicas of porn stars to have and to hold:

I remember reading about a study from Australia about beetles that mated with a brown beer bottle that the male beetles thought was an exaggerated, hyper-sexy female beetle:

In Japan, the birth rate is dropping because so many young men are into manga and anime they only want anime girls. There are even hotels that specialise in providing guests with a virtual dating experience:

Some women are ever turning themselves into anime-like creations:

The Mormon guys I dated seemed insecure and didn't know what they really wanted beyond what they were programmed with.

Just throw some garmies on her and program her to do all the secret handshakes and passwords; and you've got yourself an eternal companion!

Why not? Mormons themselves are pre-programmed robots. Looks like a match made in machine heaven.
