Realistic Love Dolls

Synthetics Creates Quality Mannequins that Look Disturbingly Alive

— September 22, 2014 — Naughty
Perhaps its just coincidental that as people become more reliant on social media to keep in contact with others, a company has designed disturbingly realistic love dolls. At first, the company's images look like a surreal photo series that comments on modern day companionship and more. Yet the realistic love dolls are real products that are being manufactured by a United States company, Synthetics.

As though straight out of Madame Tussauds' famous wax museums, the realistic love dolls are made out of silicon to give them a forgiving texture when touched. They even come complete with impressive sex organs that will undoubtedly keep customers happy and satisfied. Full of incredible detail, they are very beautiful as well, which may make finding a real mate all the more difficult in the long run.
