According to recent survey data, in Japan, an increasing number of men are choosing to fall in love with realistic sex dolls. Some even go so far as to spend their lives with them, with a few holding full wedding ceremonies. One reason for this trend is the fast pace of modern life—many people no longer have the time or energy to engage in relationships with real women. It may also be linked to Japan’s “otaku” (geek) culture. Of course, technological advancements also play a role—modern sex dolls are incredibly lifelike, with appearances nearly indistinguishable from real humans. Let’s take a look at several scenes of how Japanese men interact with their sex doll partners:
Scene 1
62-year-old Japanese man Senji Nakajima takes his sex doll on a beach vacation. Each year, around 2,000 hyper-realistic sex dolls are sold in Japan, with market prices reaching up to $6,000. These dolls come with adjustable fingers, detachable heads, and realistic sexual organs.
Scene 2
Masayuki Ozaki, an American physical therapist, bathes with his sex doll Mayu in a hotel in Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

Scene 4
Masayuki Ozaki drives home with his “wife” Mayu after dining at a restaurant, continuing their quiet life together.
Scene 5
In Yamanashi Prefecture, 62-year-old Senji Nakajima photographs his sex doll. Though he already has two children, his relationship with the doll caused a rift in the family. His wife strictly forbids the doll from entering the house, and his daughter resists as well—but the children have come to accept the reality.

Scene 9
In April, during cherry blossom season in Yamanashi Prefecture, 62-year-old Senji Nakajima takes his sex doll on a picnic holiday. “I feel like I’ve found true love, and I treat her as a real person. I don’t want to date others, nor do I want to visit prostitutes. I’ve long treated her as a human,” he said.
According to market statistics, around 20,000 sex dolls are sold in Japan annually, with prices ranging from \$1,000 to \$5,000. These inflatable dolls feature flexible fingers, detachable heads, and highly realistic designs.
