Make Your Woman-Substitute Extra Excited With Nipplen

The strangest thing about the "Nipplen add on" is not that they are designed to give a woman permanently erect nipples - it's that they're meant to do so for a doll. Manufacturers say it "adds extra excitement." [RandomGoodStuff] More »

The Internet Is Giving Fetishists A Bad Name

Megan Carpentier — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 15:00:00 EST

Once upon a time, serious fetishists could end up seriously lonely (or unfulfilled) people — because, let's face it, fetishists and fetishes have always been around. The Sexual Revolution brought a level of openness to hetero-normative sex and the desire for it, but, to one degree or another, it left a lot of people still in the closet. Between the growing acceptance of LGBT people and the interconnectivity brought by the Internet, some of the remaining barriers to finding the partner who fits your sexual proclivities are dissipating — but, as The Independent's Esther Walker learns, the level of openness or actual human connection isn't.

If You Always Like The Emotionally Unavailable, It's Because You Probably Are, Too

Megan Carpentier — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 17:00:00 EDT

There have been a lot of stories lately (and even a movie) about people in love with inanimate objects. Today, Sega Toys annoyingly announced that it was jumping on this sad trend by creating a doll-sized robot girlfriend, called Eternal Maiden Actualization, for lonely men. While some people who fall in love with inanimate objects call their orientation objectùm-sexuality, it seems to me that such people fall into a larger class of us called "people who are so scared to get hurt that they subconsciously choose relationships in which they won't be." You know, inanimate objects, emotionally unavailable men, we're all just looking to minimize the pain we know is coming. More »

Ryan Gosing's new movie Lars and the Real...

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 18:30:00 EDT

Ryan Gosing's new movie Lars and the Real Girl is about a man's relationship with a Real Doll (those crazily realistic sex dolls). We know how Ryan is a method actor, so we've been dying to know if he actually fucked the doll in real life. We're starting to think the answer is yes, considering that now we know that the director, cast and crew all treated the doll on set as though she were a real actress. Ryan even said, "She's not a blow-up doll. Bianca has beautiful freckles, she has amazing eyes." Sigh. We wish we were that doll. [Breitbart] More »

Ryan Gosling Plays Loser In Love With A Doll; We'd Still Hit It

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 16:00:00 EDT

Ryan Gosling's new movie Lars and the Real Girl looks weird and awesome. Ryan plays Lars, a man plagued with some sort of social interaction problem that keeps him from dating women. He decides to enter into a relationship with a Real Doll, which he takes a little too seriously, freaking out the rest of his family. We would totally think this storyline—by Six Feet Under scribe Nancy Oliver—was too bizarre to actually buy into, but we already know all about real dudes like Lars thanks to the documentary Guys and Dolls that we were obsessed with. Also, we know that Gosling is a Method actor, so we're wondering if he actually banged a Real Doll to get ready for this role. We're also wondering if we could stand in for that doll at any point. Lars and the Real Girl hits theaters in October. Check out the trailer above. More »
