Is it a sin for adults to play with dolls?

[Spiderman]

"A Japanese man has revealed he has finally found happiness with his girlfriend - a silicone love doll.

Senji Nakajima, claims he enjoys the 'perfect' relationship with 'Saori' - even taking the dummy out shopping to buy it fancy outfits - despite the fact that he is married to a woman with whom he has two children.

Senji, 61, from Nagano, lives with his life size doll in his apartment in Tokyo where he enjoys a physical relationship with it - but he claims he is happy because his plastic companion isn't 'after only money'."

Just curious what you think? There is a rise in this behavior.

In many ways, isn't it like having a relationship with God? How do you know God doesn't cherish this man's relationship with his doll?

How do you know God or some spirit isn't speaking to him through the doll? God speaks to us silently after all.

Couldn't the spirit of God speak to this man through his doll just like he speaks to so many people through nature, icons, paintings, books, sermons, and Scripture?

If this man treats his doll like it has a soul, doesn't he have just as much evidence as a person who claims they are filled with the Spirit of God, born again, seeing Angels, hearing from spirits, or speaking prophecy?

His doll just might send as many silent messages to his heart as the Holy Spirit does to a "Born again Christian" (Whatever being born again even means).

Honestly, I find it kind of frightening. If the man was a babysitter and I had kids, I would be hesitant to leave them unattended with him. It's just a gut reaction that I can't quite put my finger on.

However, I do admire his courage in humbling himself to such an extent, and making knowledge of it public.

Anyone who is willing to make taboo practices public has a quality that I admire. Something can be said for being your own person and not caring what others think.

Please explain your reasons for believing it is wrong. Thanks!

As long as they're not harming anyone then I don't see the harm in it.

How would men feel if women decided that dolls of men were better than real ones.

 

[Frater Sisyphus]

Sex dolls?

Relieved.

 

[danieldemol]

I think he doesn’t have a good relationship with his wife if he thinks she is only after his money

 

[Spiderman]

Sex dolls?

The poll question is based off what we know...we know that he spoons with her, but we don't know that he does anything that isn't rated pg-13.

I would be happy that they discovered something that has a lot of truth to it. Dolls don't cause the agony in our world that so many men have. I lived with a woman permanently in a wheelchair because of her husband. She would have been much better off with a Doll.

Besides, in the Old Testament God healed people through a Bronze serpent. If God can heal through a bronze snake, perhaps he can use a Doll to transmit grace, love, and healing.

Some women swear by their rabbits, cucumbers, and other "personal massage" devices. Heh heh heh

Morally wrong? No. Psychologically unhealthy. Yes.

Is anyone who drags a doll around pretending that it's a real person relationship material though?

His wife seems to think so.

People walk around talking to God, Jesus, Virgin Mary, Saints, Angels, loved ones at the cemetery, polytheistic Divinities, Kami, Fairies, Leprechauns, and Satan. Is this man doing something much different?

If spirits exist, Spirits may be inspiring this relationship with his plastic lover.

Psychologically unhealthy. Yes.

For all you know, the average love relationship between two gay or heterosexual partners could be more unhealthy and destructive than his relationship with his doll?

Free. Then we could burp, fart and scratch the boys with reckless abandon and not get harassed for it. That is until the woman realized she really did have a guy that’s as dumb as a box of rocks, and he still doesn’t listen to her.

Well whatever floats your boat. I would recommend at least talking to a mental health professional though.

I suspect that their relationship isn't exactly the happiest or healthiest.

Im not considering doing it, but it reminds me of Catholics processing with their Saint Jude or virgin Mary statues and crucifixes.

Or the ancient Israelites processing the Ark of the Covenant and golden Angels, like they were real and dwelling place of God, Or figures and images that Hindus use and are devoted to.

I'm just saying it isn't a whole lot different. If he is actually having full blown sex with the doll, well that becomes quite different, but still , similar concept to Catholics becoming one flesh with Christ in holy communion (perhaps )

I've heard people swear that they had sexual intimacy with a diety, so who knows.

I just admire this mans courage to do this in public places.

Well, from what I can see, at least the doll actually exists. That said, I don't think it's possible for an entity that doesn't exist to cherish or reject this man's "relationship" with the doll.

How do you know God or some spirit isn't speaking to him through the doll? God speaks to us silently after all.

The same way I know Sauron isn't speaking to me through my headphones.

I don't think there's anything immoral about the man's fixation on the doll as long as he's not harming anyone else; however, it seems unhealthy and indicative of an underlying mental disorder.

I can see why you feel that way.

God isn't giving you a burning bush moment or speaking to you, so it's just like he's not there.

I see why you are a Glompist!

Some women don't like an oversexed husband or having to "put out". Maybe this is a way he could "cheat" without having to cheat.
