    I feel like an old man cause anime girls look weird to me. I see this stuff, the obviously hyper sexualized cartoon girls, and I’m always like “you guys know about pornhub, right? Pictures of real women, videos, millions of them are a click away!” So like, wtf is up with the cartoon fetish? I’m not shaming it, I just don’t get it.

      It’s a few things (for some people). One is artstyle/impressionism, another is that some of the stuff depicted is either impossible or less paletable with IRL people. Some is storytelling.

      Erotic artwork has been a real thing for a while. If you want, I’ll elaborate later. I might edit this after a while when I can be bothered to expand on this.

      Given the existence of products like “real doll”, there’s some merit to it happening to humans.

      I don’t know enough about any of it since I’m in a relationship with someone who has a pulse, and I like it that way.

        It’s a product aimed at people that can’t get laid otherwise, and from what I hear it’s usually a one-time thing because people soon realize it’s as good as thrusting a plank.

        Suggesting that it’s real purpose is to control birth rate is just fucking ridiculous, nobody will ever ditch their woman because they figured that an unmoving full-sized fake vagina is better at sex than her.

          Maybe, but also, relationships take a lot of time and effort and sometimes your significant other is just crazy and you have to break it off.

          It seems like getting a real-enough experience with a “real doll” and then not having to deal with another person or their drama, may appeal to some.

          Not me, I’ve been in a long term relationship for going on 10 years now. I can just take my bias out of the discussion and consider other perspectives.

            You do remember that you can also have sex without being in a relationship, don’t you?

              You can, but often that comes with more drama than it’s worth, and/or, isn’t consistent in terms of being able to have someone to be intimate with.

              There are exceptions here, but they’re relatively uncommon.

              Not saying that people in relationships can be intimate with their partner whenever they want, but I am saying you have more opportunities to be intimate, as long as both people are willing to do so at the same time.
