Saw a documentary a few years ago about lonely men who had sex dolls as their 'girlfriends'.
I thought it was very sad. One guy was aged about 50, had never had a girlfriend but oddly, he seemed a very nice guy. He had a good job and his own home too.
But he talked to these dolls and dressed them and yes, had sex with them. He had more than one.
Very sad.

I'd rather be lonely than have a sex doll as a 'partner'.
