Is Buying Sex Dolls Morally Acceptable
The news of a person buying a sex doll catches the eye.The interviewee Xie Tianrong has a "girlfriend", but this girlfriend is not a real person, but a sex doll named Mochi. During the interview, he devoted all his attention to the doll. Not only did he change its name, but he also released group photos from time to time to show his affection. He ate, watched movies, and played video games with the doll. Faced with this phenomenon, some people think that "this is personal freedom", while others think that he is "sick". Is it normal to fall in love with a sex doll? What kind of viewpoint should everyone take?
1.Buying a sex doll is normal from a psychological point of view.
When we consider whether an action is ethical, one of the conditions is that moral principles should be "universal." If everyone in the world fell in love with a sex doll, would it be "morally" acceptable? Or if your partner's hobby is playing with sex dolls, do you agree?Faced with these two questions, I believe most people's answer is no. First of all, if everyone in the world only likes sex dolls, and sex dolls are just inanimate things that can't reproduce, it's obviously problematic from the perspective of human reproduction as a whole. Love, on the other hand, is exclusive, even if it's just a "doll" - does anyone believe or expect their partner to love a sex doll more than they do? It can be seen that "falling in love with sex dolls" does not seem to pass the principle of universality. From two perspectives, it seems that sex dolls are not acceptable to the public, but is it really so? Let's look at the problem from a different angle.
The point of view stated above is not the only one. If you follow other teachings, the answer may be the exact opposite. For example, individualists and libertarians are often judged by the "principle of liberty" and the "principle of doing no harm to others." According to these two principles, "falling in love with a sex doll" should be acceptable - because. it is personal freedom. he will not hurt others because of it. Since falling in love with a sex doll does not affect a person, this behavior should be acceptable. Because choosing sex dolls has no harm or influence on society or on others, everyone has some special hobbies or hobbies, which is understandable.So whether it will be denied morally is more related to people's subjective intentions. Not a good conclusion.
2.Is falling in love with or needing a sex doll a manifestation of control?
Or many would add the word "sick" to his behavior. But let's think again - why do we think it's "sick"? Everyone has their own hobbies, isn't this "love"? Why do toy dolls have problems, but sex dolls have problems? Just because toys are related to human sexuality, they are labeled as shameful or perverted, which is also a double standard.I think there are two reasons. First, because the customer treats the doll "as an adult" and devotes as much love to "it" as "love", this "inanimate object" is like "the embodiment of perfect love". Although we all long for love, the average person cannot accept this kind of "completely disconnected" love. There are many people who are terrified of this kind of love for objects and think it is perverted, and some people think it is another kind of fetish leakage.
This is because of the "full control" behavior in it. While "it" can't do anything, "it" has the advantage that "you have full control over it". The complexity of human relationships lies in their "uncontrollability". Because we have no control over the thoughts and actions of others, everyone should have the experience of being hurt when dealing with others. It can't hurt to interact with "it", even if the feeling of "loving it" is illusory, in fact "it" doesn't love you, but it also satisfies the deep desire for "control". In such a relationship, the status of human beings is always higher than that of dolls. There are many frustrated people who have found self-confidence in the relationship with sex dolls, and think that the feelings that cannot be obtained in the relationship with people are found in sex dolls. Satisfaction .But does indulging in fantasy and avoiding harm really solve real problems? Reality is so cruel, it can hurt to get along with real people. People with a strong desire for control are also one of the hallmarks of psychopaths, so it's not entirely unreasonable to call them "sick." Although being immersed in illusion cannot solve the problem, it can satisfy some of people's emotions and become more comfortable, which may also solve the problem from another aspect.
3.The love of boys reflects the sorrow of society.
It can be seen from the side that a person's love for sex dolls may have a great relationship with the development of social culture and feelings. No matter how disapproving you may be of his behavior, we can't deny how much the boys in the film love the doll; I also appreciate that the interviewee can ignore the eyes of others and go his own way. Free and easy. But I think such a society is very sad - who can be a real partner in society? Hong Kong is so big that boys can't find a better partner than sex dolls? Is our society going to be so cold? Perhaps the society's attention to sex dolls and people's inability to place their emotions are one thing. In reality, how many people have never been respected and cherished like this doll. Although I still respect his choice, because some people's feelings can also be comforted, and the society will become more stable and harmonious. Therefore, sex dolls should be morally acceptable. Some controversial voices in society are just some developmental pains. Any small things that continue to develop will be criticized.
