I don't buy a car if I just want to have some driving action for a few hours. I'll get a racing game instead. You might not believe it but for some people the hassle is not getting a girlfriend but having them around.

A sex toy doesn't talk back, a sex toy lets you have fun whenever, wherever and how often you like. What I'm saying is that a human sexual partner is not the perfect end-solution for everyone. Not even for the people who have one.

Even in that case, there are still better options, like prostitutes.

I guess that comes down to preference. Apart from the significant spending differences there are still plenty of reasons to prefer sex toys over prostitutes. Let's pretend for a moment that human intercourse is the best sexual experience you can get, you can still weigh the pros and cons and for a lot of people the cons outweigh the pros.

An anology: You can buy a cinema, you can go to the cinema, you can rent a bluray, you can rent a dvd, you can watch a stream. While some are objectively better experiences each choice has its benefits and is equally valid depending on your preferences. I wouldn't call someone who watches streams on the internet despite having the money to go to the movies mentally ill.

There is something for everyone and in different degrees and there is no reason to down talk people who have different priorities.

Except of course for people who enjoy BOTW. Those people are fucking crazy in the head.

That's a pretty weak analogy.

Oh, and I'm enjoying the latest Zelda.

Bring your counter anology then. It seems to me as if you somehow value sex above any other possible form of entertainment and anyone who is not experiencing it in its highest form is mentally ill? That sounds pretty elitist and conceited to me.

I don't need to make any analogy. We're talking about someone who made a plywood structure will a rubber (?) head and some clothes to hide its real shape to give blowjobs. What else has to be said?

And of course there are other ways to get sexual relief besides the actual sex act, I'm just saying that this particular device is, to me, the creation of someone with problems.

And that is conceited.

Just because your hobbies tend to be enjoyed by a greater number of people doesn't make it superior. Though you should actually know this. There are a lot of people who regard staring at a screen and pressing on a plastic controller for fun to be stupid and a waste of time. Would be totally crazy to do that instead of spending time with your loved ones outside.

You think it's weird that people craft things to resemble other things in real life to increase immersion? What about dildos and sexdolls? What about VR games that simulate other characters? What about fucking barbie dolls and matchbox? They're all just simulations in toy form. They're used to create immersion because shapless blobs of plastic aren't doing it for anyone.

All I'm saying is that you draw a weirdly arbitrary line of what constitutes as normal and what's mentally ill. You're like a Christian Priest calling out a Pastafarian for believing in a flying spaghetti monster.

Nah, women don't have to compete. They just declare you a sexist for objectifying an object and put you in jail for sexism and rape. I assure you that as soon as sex robots become viable there will be movements to ban them completely for discriminating women or some shit. And if that doesn't work, they'll just declare female robots as women and sue your ass for having sex without consent with your sex robot. The possibilities of ruining people's fun are endless.
