I recently heard about the Lois Griffin Sex Doll and I just couldn’t believe it. I mean, I thought, when I heard the news of it’s having been created, that it was some kind of a hoax. Of course, now I know it’s not.
The thought of using a personal ‘doll’ that is meant to replicate Lois Griffin, one of the more popular characters on the hit TV show Family Guy, makes me feel itchy. Out of all the fantasy characters out there, why Lois? Especially since she’s so outspoken and can be so pushy at times.
I heard that the doll is produced by a company who specializes in the ‘realistic’ replications of fantasy and television characters and even celebrities. It’s the latest in their lineup of products.
Still, the idea of having a ‘personal companion’ that looks and acts like Lois Griffin is both intriguing and disturbing, to me. On one hand, I can certainly see the appeal in owning a Lois Griffin Sex Doll. She’s attractive, strong-willed, vibrant, and can be quite alluring, if you happen to have a thing for her.
On the other hand, the idea that someone would get a personal ‘doll’ of this kind also gives me pause. You don’t think about the ‘real’ Lois when you’re talking about a ‘fantasized’ version of her, you know? It takes away from the reality of who she is.
Also, does owning a ‘realistic’ version of a real-life character mean that you no longer have to interact with other people? And then, Penis Rings is it just me, or does it seem a little creepy to think about having an artificial companion around?
I can certainly see why some people are fascinated and even charmed by the idea of having a ‘personal Lois’ in their life. But, for me, I’m just not sure I can get over the ick factor associated with owning a personal sex doll. Sorry, but I just don’t like the idea that much.
The second expansion on the topic of Lois Griffin Sex Doll would be What Are The Implications Of Selling Such A Doll. The idea of a Lois Griffin Sex Doll has started a conversation around the sexist implications that it has. It has caused quite the stir among feminists as the idea of a real-life character being reproduced as a sex object is considered immoral.
The implications of such selling of a doll are not only confining to the feminist community. People have gone so far as to say that it is equivalent to objectifying a real person, a real woman, no less. After all, Lois Griffin is an iconic female character and the idea of her being replicated, eroticized, and sold as a sex object to people has been offensive and wrong to many.
It’s not just the implications either. Many believe that the fact something like a sex doll with a real-life character packaged as sexually desirable is wrong is just off-putting. It’s not comfortable to many people to think of something that has been made to represent someone being sexualized in such a way.
In addition, many people are worried that this kind of thing is going to have a lasting effect. It’s one thing to create a product that is about fictional characters, but to create one that is a direct replication of a real-life character is something else entirely. What if this product is going to pave the way for similar kinds of products to be made, for real-life people to be sexualized and spread?
It’s a topic that has caused a lot of debate, because it’s not an entirely black-and-white issue like a lot of things are. It’s considered wrong in many aspects, but there is also the counter-argument that it’s a kind of sexual fantasy/escapism that some people enjoy, so it should be allowed.
The third point that could be made about the Lois Griffin Sex Doll is what it implies about sex and rape culture. There are many people who argue that the Lois Griffin Sex Doll is creating a culture that normalizes and even encourages rape culture.
The idea of having a ‘personal companion’ that looks and acts like your own version of Lois Griffin can be concerning to some. It implies that rape culture is now becoming accepted as normal. This goes against any kind of general societal expectations and norms.
It also implies that it’s okay to have a sex doll if it’s your own creation and sex isn’t just something you do with another person, it can be something you do with a manufactured sex doll. This can easily be seen as wrong, as it degrades the act of sex to something that isn’t natural nor consensual.
It’s important to note that it’s not necessarily the doll itself that is creating this culture, sex toys rather it’s the attitudes and views of people who are buying it. It’s an easy target to focus on, no doubt, but there are much more significant things to think about in regards to the implications of owning such a doll.
The fourth point would be about How Owning a Doll Like This Can Affect People. There are many people who worry that owning such a doll can be detrimental in some way, and the worry is that it could lead to more damaging behaviors such as objectification of women, rape culture, and violence.
The idea behind these concerns is that owning a sex doll of any kind can give people an impression that disassociative behavior such as domination and disrespect towards women is somehow acceptable, when it’s not. It can lead to false beliefs that women can be seen as objects for people to do whatever they want to them.
Owning a doll like this can also heavily affect people’s view of sex and intimacy. It presents an idea that sex with a real human being can be substituted with a manufactured object, and thus will not have as much genuine emotional and physical impact.
Furthermore, it can lead to problems in people’s relationships and make them see other people as inferior. After all, if a person can have a perfect ‘companion’ at their disposal, it is quite understandable that they start to think that other people are not worth their time and attention.
Of course, some people might disagree with all of these implications and might think it’s just an innocent, harmless, and enjoyable toy. No one can deny that it has been a popular present for some people, and will continue to be so. But surely, there must be some kind of lines drawn and appropriate use to these dolls, if they are meant to be harmless and not damaging.
