In Japan, after 30 years old, one third of men are still unmarried. However, wonderful wives are made up : quiet and 100% silicone!

The "love doll", made of plastic, real size, extremely realist, is the new famous object in Japan. 10,000 new clients are registered each year! Men do not only content themselves with buying these dolls : they dress them up, they pay attention to them, they maintain them and sometimes they sleep with these girls who have always got perfect nails. Clients are 25 to 30 years old, but the majority is 30 years old. They are quite rich because these dolls are expensive. In a large number of cases, these men have got a good job with a remarkable career, they have studied a lot and easily passed their exams. So they do not really have time for their private and sentimental life.

A pretty brunette BARBIE doll costs around 3,700 euros. It is expensive but it is for all your life! 

The Japanese have become addicted to these dolls : they even furnish their homes with them...

The Japanese are frightened of girls : 30% of men past 30 years old will still be unmarried.
They do not want to be married. Men have got the impression of a real skin, with big lips and beautiful eyes. Moreover, they keep peace at home. That is why the Japanese buy them.
Women in Japan want to spend their time enjoying themselves and they do not want a serious "love story"., unlike men who just want the calmness of the couple.

Clients have to wait up to 8 months to receive a doll! The most important is the face : it has to be innocent, chast and angelical.

To conclude, Japan is in a real social mutation.

What can you answer to : "Will dolls be the future of women?"

Your article is very interesting and strange at the same time. I realize that there are a lot of men who have a doll like a wife: this is not very normal for me. I know that they not only dress up and look like the dolls, it is also for their self satisfaction. Maybe they are perfect with perfect nails and big lips, beautiful eyes, but they are never going to be better that the unperfect and beautiful silhouette of the real woman.
