Sex dolls to first kisses: Top 5 weirdest stories we saw this week

Sex dolls to first kisses: Top 5 weirdest stories we saw this week
The freakiest brothel to a college that demands girlfriends, a round-up of the freakiest news yet.

A sex doll brothel

What do you call a sex doll brothel — sex, doll, and dhoka? A controversial brothel in Toronto that promised to offer people the chance to have sex with realistic-looking dolls has been shut down before it opened after the city determined the operation would violate a bylaw. 'Aura Dolls' was slated to open September 8.

Screengrab from Aura Dolls website.

On its website, Aura Dolls state an hour with one doll will set you back $120. Double that with two dolls. There are six dolls to choose from and they can be used in various positions.

“The dolls are thoroughly sanitized to meet your expectations. We take extreme measures when it comes to the safety of our clients... The use of condoms is highly recommended,” according to the website.

Kiss of life

A first date that ends with a kiss? Well, some fear it might make you look too desperate, others advise you to wait — but some simply don't have any choice but to go ahead and seal the deal. An American doctor, Andi Traynor, 45, "kissed" her partner Max Montgomery, 56, on their very first date as she had to perform life-saving CPR on him after he collapsed during their date on a California beach.

She immediately performed life-saving CPR. Within minutes, Max was taken off the beach and revived, using a defibrillator.

The incident which happened last October was reported by The Daily Mail on August 29, revealing a heart-warming after-story.

Montgomery underwent a coronary bypass surgery the next day. He also told Traynor that he would understand if she didn’t want to keep seeing him. “But she told me she was not going anywhere,” he said, according to The Daily Mail.

The good news is, they are still going strong.

The same report quoted Traynor as saying: "A few weeks after his surgery, he was recuperating and we were on the beach just talking. 'I said, 'You can kiss me for real now.'"

Montgomery said: "My heart has been healed inside and out. I feel very blessed."

Awww.

Compulsory classes, not really

"Any student found without a boyfriend or girlfriend will face penal action. Start making suitable arrangements. If caught without a boyfriend or girlfriend inside the college after the given date, you shall be fined. Mind you, each student is allowed only one boyfriend or girlfriend. Abide by this rule or be suspended and pay a fine of Rs 1,000.”

According to a news report, this was a notice that sent waves of laughter across Chandigarh University recently. However, the management didn’t find it funny. The prankster has been rusticated.





The 'notice' came up on the notice board and the social media reportedly written on an official letterhead gave the announcement a "stamp of authority". The prankster was a first-year student of computer science engineering and information security.

Life's a beach

Thousands on Twitter are debating whether this image is of “a door or a beach.” The photograph was originally shared by Rebecca Reilly on the micro-blogging site.

Sex Dolls May Be 'Emotionally Divisive' But Business Is Booming

Toronto might not be getting a "brothel" anytime soon, but sex dolls aren't going away.

Helps men with sexual dysfunction issues
Some suggest that sex dolls provide an outlet for people with violent sexual desires
Using sex dolls could impact learning about consent: sex educator
Would sex dolls in a "brothel" have more agency than human sex workers?

We truly live in a dystopia, because you can now file this story under old news: Toronto is not, in fact, getting a new "sex doll brothel."

Aura Dolls' plan to open such a facility in the city's North York area next month predictably brought a serious backlash, and it was shut down over a licensing issue.

"If there is any good place for people to pay to have sex with plastic dolls — and I'm not sure there is — it is certainly not here," city councilor John Filion said in a statement to HuffPost Canada. "Among other things, this business literally objectifies women and sends a very unhealthy message, to young men in particular."

Even though patrons won't be able to pay $120/hour with one of the Aura dolls (or $240/hour with two of them), the sex doll industry isn't going away anytime soon. Such items come in both standard and fetish iterations, at price points ranging from "entry-level" (in the $500-$1,000 range) to "luxury high-end" (up to $10,000).

It's normal for many to have a knee-jerk reaction of disgust at a plastic doll built like a human that someone buys to have sex with, says Dr. Philip Jai Johnson, a psychologist, and researcher at the Toronto Sexuality Centre.

Premium Sex Dolls – A Simulated yet Realistic Love Experience

He attributes this in part to the "uncanny valley," an effect where something becomes disturbing when it approaches human likeness, but falls slightly short. "On some level, it is kind of a moral view, which is just the sense that anything that deviates from the real thing is not appropriate."

Michelle Shnaidman, CEO of feminist sex and porn platform Bellesa, says that using a sex doll isn't wildly different from using other devices.

"Eradicating the shame around people using — or even requiring — sex toys to find sexual satisfaction is an ongoing battle," she says. "Their humanoid resemblance gives us — non-sex doll users — pause. But just because these dolls have a face doesn't make them any more threatening than the vibrators in our nightstands."

"Niche" sex toys, a group with sex dolls at the forefront, is a nearly $20-billion industry, according to Forbes. And analysts have forecast that the global sex toy market will grow nearly seven percent between 2016 and 2020.

Johnson says there's been very little academic research on sex dolls, probably because they are so "emotionally divisive." Based on the small amount of research that's out there, he says the demographic most likely to seek out sex dolls are single men in the 30-40 range.
Lonely stereotype

There's a stereotype that such dolls exist solely for lonely and desperate men, but one of the few studies that did examine people who used sex robots — which are slightly higher on the uncanny valley scale than dolls — found that wasn't true. It suggested that fear and rejection were, in fact, the biggest motivators.

Johnson would like to see more academic research on the use of sex dolls because he does think that in some rare cases, there's a possibility they could be a safe, stress-free way for certain men to work out sexual dysfunction issues.

"For men with sexual functioning difficulty, they do go on dates, and if they can't perform, they will get rejected very often. It does put some men in a catch-22 position. And for that reason, I think sex dolls could be — and I don't want to say for sure, but they could be a good treatment approach."

Others have suggested that sex dolls could provide an outlet for men with violent sexual desires to keep them from taking that anger out on real women. A representative from Aura Dolls allegedly told Vice that the use of sex dolls may have prevented the Toronto van attack, which killed 10 people and injured 16 others in April.

The suspect, Alek Minassian, is believed to have been part of the "incel" online community of men who react with hostility and violence to women who won't have sex with them.

No research backs up the claim that sex with a doll can prevent "incel" violence, an idea women's rights advocate Julie Lalonde called "dangerous." In fact, many people — Johnson included — say that just as there are a theoretical risk sex dolls may help some men, there's also the possibility that they could feed into unhealthy attitudes towards women and sex.

The discussion is not a new one. Trottla, a Japanese company, has been marketing child sex dolls as a "safe" way for pedophiles to fulfill their urges since the early 2000s. In 2016, The Atlantic profiled the company's founder Shin Takagi, who self-identifies as someone with pedophilic impulses he has never acted on.

Takagi said the dolls help people like him — although many psychologists expressed reservations. A strategy that could help some pedophiles control their desires might exacerbate them in others, said Michael Seto, a University of Toronto psychiatrist who examines pedophilia. For some, "having these substitutes might only aggravate their sense of frustration," he told the magazine.
Dolls obviously cannot consent, but the person using them is also not learning about consent. Lyba Spring, sex educator

Sex educator Lyba Spring says she fears a dependence on sex dolls could make it harder for someone to develop a relationship with a real person — someone who voices opinions, and whose body isn't built for male fantasy.

"In the same way that there are adolescent and young adult men who complain that their use of pornography has made it increasingly difficult for them to have sexual and intimate relationships with women, I think that the use of these dolls may continue to prevent men with intimacy issues from learning how to be intimate," she says.

She also worries that younger men who get used to sex with dolls are not factoring consent into the equation, which can potentially be dangerous later on.

"Dolls obviously cannot consent, but the person using them is also not learning about consent," she told HuffPost Canada.

Operating a "brothel" could also be problematic: sex dolls would have more agency than human sex workers. "I find it irritating to use the word 'brothel' given the human context of our current laws, which continue to put sex workers at risk," Spring says.

Terri-Jean Bedford, a professional dominatrix who has been instrumental in challenging the Canadian government's stance on sex work, says prostitution laws enacted under Stephen Harper in 2014 didn't give much more consideration to real sex workers than is given to the dolls.

"Even living women, under his law, could not be paid for sex," she said in an email to HuffPost Canada. "The dolls probably meant more to him."

Johnson hopes to see more research on sex dolls happen soon. "Some of the questions I certainly would be interested in seeing are: How do sex dolls influence the attitudes of people who use them, be they attitudes towards women, towards sex, towards themselves?" he says. "We don't have the answers we need."

Sex doll brothel won’t open in planned North York location, after all

A sex doll brothel will not be opening its doors at a planned Yonge St. and Sheppard Ave. W. location, a city spokesperson has confirmed, saying it was informed the brothel’s lease agreement with the property has been terminated.

“City staff investigated the premises for Aura Dolls for possible contraventions of the zoning and licensing bylaws,” said communications ccoordinatorAngelica Santos in an email. “Subsequently, the city was notified by the property manager advising that the lease agreement with Aura Dolls has been terminated.”

In an earlier email, Santos said the city determined Aura Dolls falls under the category of an “adult entertainment parlor,” and “the permitted land uses for the property at 4632 Yonge St., (do) not include an adult entertainment use, therefore the use at this location is not permitted.”

Aura Dolls, the company behind the sex doll brothel that was initially set to open in early September, could not be reached for comment.

On its website, a map still pinpoints their location at the intersection of Yonge and Sheppard, but states the address is given “upon booking.”

Previously, the website showed a censored address at “4*** Yonge St.”

On Friday, Councillor John Filion, Ward 23, said the situation “shouldn’t have happened.”

“It’s just one of those problems you deal with during the course of a week that you wish didn’t exist in the first place,” Filion said.

He said Yonge and Sheppard's residents are relieved by the news. “They were upset, they were really bothered by what’s going on on the edge of their neighborhood.”

(Almost) Real Sex

Our 'moral guardians' believe that the internet is a portal to hell, which of course is true, but it can also lead to many other destinations, including better sex. If we look past the sizeable chunk of porn (which I'm not sure bears any resemblance to 'real' sex anyway), there is a vast array of information and tools to help us explore our sensuality or at least fuel our fascination with all things naughty.


Porn has driven a lot of the technology that we see across the mainstream internet but it has pretty much-highjacked sex completely. Who hasn't secretly (or maybe not so secretly) found out their porn star name or thought about getting 'glamour shots' taken for that significant other? But as the pressures of modern life, family and work take their toll, who can really be bothered embracing their inner porn star (especially if it involves all that time-consuming waxing, plucking and primping), when just finding the time and energy to enjoy a quickie is hard enough. And I'm sure that with access to all that porn men and women could expand their sexual repertoire, but are more likely to compare themselves to what is deemed 'desirable' and become plagued by performance anxiety and stupidly unachievable expectations.

Maybe its time to reclaim sexuality and sensuality from the porn industry (and the media to some extent as well) and get on top of those expectations (pun intended) to bring the fun back into intimacy.

But where to start? I guess a good place would be a Sex Dictionary where you can get worked up on all those terms and even add some of your own, then if you want you can test your sex IQ. Or, if you are after a little history and are planning a trip to Japan, why not drop into one of the many freaky but fascinating Hihokan (sex museums).

With that out of the way, there are plenty of sites that offer couples and singles great tips on relationships, dating, mating, masturbation, size matters (you bet it does), sex dolls, erotic astrology, and even how to make your semen taste better (macrobiotically of course). There is such a huge amount of information that there really isn't any excuse for unimaginative sex even if much of it may be physically impossible for those of us who aren't double jointed (even though we would give it our best shot).

Of course don't forget Tantric sex, where if you can find the time and practice enough you can reach spiritual enlightenment and orgasm all at once (that could be handy). Or, for 'men only' who just want 'guilt-free sex with as many lovers as possible [and] learn to cheat and never get caught!' you can apparently buy this book and never look back. Pretty misogynistic by all accounts, and while it may work for a while a good dose of karma or some nasty STDs might catch up with these guys in the longer term. They won't feel guilty but they may feel some pain.

What about 'cybersex'?

A recent study in Canada found that 'young Canadians are digitizing their sex lives' and that some '87 percent of 2,484 students polled at 150 colleges and universities across Canada reported having "virtual sex" over instant messenger, webcams or the telephone'. Figures that I am sure are reflected here in Australia. It makes sense that as we increasingly use digital devices to communicate that we will also use these devices to assist in our intimate communications in the form of online chat, webcams and SMS texting. And why not? These devices probably help in getting us to express desires or fantasies that we might not have if face to face and can even help in keeping those fires of passion smoldering in longer-term relationships that might otherwise have stagnated. I still have wonderful flirtations with my partner via IM chat and occasional love letter emails.

Cybersex is the act of having sex, between two or more people, in a chatroom or in e-mails, or via webcams and VOIP connections. Many people use the anonymity of cybersex to explore sex in ways they wouldn't in real life and it is the perfect platform to explore fantasies and multiple partners (there are of course downsides with internet adultery, stalkers, and predators). There are of course many advantages to cybersex (apart from the obvious) especially for long distance relationships, chronically shy people and some people with disabilities.

State of the art virtual worlds are finally giving cybersex a new lease of life and in the increasingly popular, adults-only virtual world called 'Second Life', a player can pretend to be an elf, an animal, a superhero, a rock star, a porn star or just about anything he or she might imagine (you can even buy and sell real estate there). Once you have assumed your Second Life persona (called an avatar) it can become a no holds barred exploration of the virtual realm where you can fulfill your ultimate fantasy in your ultimate fantasy body, from your ultimate fantasy home. Some say its better than real life (maybe they need to get out more).

Virtual sex, however, where the user suits up in a 'machine that delivers a virtual experience so real that it is indistinguishable from actual sex' still has some way to go. Films, of course, have offered some tantalizing ideas in this space from the Pleasure Organ in Barbarella, the Orgasmatron in Sleeper. The future holds combinations of mess-free virtual sex on the holodeck that relies totally on stimulating neural transmitters in the brain to advanced sex machines and dolls - 'teledildonics' and 'fembots' that go way beyond that blow-up doll in the cupboard. And you can be sure that sex (rather than pure science) will be what drives these technologies into our lounge rooms and beyond. Let's just hope its worth the wait.

A mother-of-two has spent over £10,000 in an attempt to turn herself into a real life ‘sex doll’ after finding out her fiancé was having an affair.

Cindy Moore, 31, from Salford, Greater Manchester, has had a breast enlargement, three lip fillers a month and hair extensions in an attempt to achieve her perfect look. Despite the amount she has spent, Cindy still isn’t satisfied and wants to go under the knife again to complete her makeover.


Cindy said: ‘I want another boob job and probably a tummy tuck. I’m lucky because of my skin I don’t really need Botox.’ Cindy said that she has loved the ‘fake’ look since turning 19 when she started bleaching her long hair and wearing lots of makeup.

But it was when she found out her fiancé and father of her two children was having an affair that inspired her to create the look she has today. Cindy lost five stone and dropped from a size 24 to 12 after the split, training seven days a week and going on a strict diet. But even that radical transformation wasn’t enough and she had £7,000 surgery to enhance her breasts, and fill her lips with painful filler injections.



She explained: ‘When we split last year I looked at myself in the mirror and just thought ‘this needs to go’, so I trained hard and cut the carbs and lost it really rapidly.’ Cindy said she has ‘always liked the bimbo blow-up doll look’, and that she knew it was the right look for her after appearing Channel 5’s reality TV show 100% Hotter, which aired in February this year. The show takes men and women with extreme looks and tries to give them a more natural makeover, but it had the opposite effect on Cindy. She said: ‘I think the point of the TV show was to show me that I looked better with a natural look, but it just had the opposite effect really. All I could think was: “I’ve got a long way to go.”
