Japan introduced "man pillows" several decades ago. Europe is catching up. I suppose these man surrogates are the female equivalent of blow-up sex dolls. And they're just as sad and shameful.

I was reading recently that men tend to be more imprintable, in terms of sexual orientations. They have difficulty straying from how they were imprinted. Homosexual men tend to stay homosexual men and will have the same sexual and emotional responses to women that straight men will have towards other men.

Whereas, women tend to be more situational. They can be turned on by much more stuff, if they are in an area where it’s acceptable and there are no inhibitors like family or a husband.

Optional strap-on?

i see the designer gave the bear a little head.

[FLT-bird]

I can hardly imagine something as sad as that.

Are batteries included? And does the toy include proof that the toy has been vaccinated and boosted? Sounds like the perfect companion for lonely nights of box wine and feeding ALL of the cats.

That’s just bizarre. How is it that some people believe we live at the pinnacle of human history when so many of us can’t manage basic human relationships?

I’m just curious how that conversation went in picture four?

[TheWriterTX]

Ahhhhh...no.

That’s a hard pass from me.

[goodnesswins]

Very weird, very sad

[adorno]

Didn’t read.

Just looked at the pictures.

It was unBEARable.

[Jonty30]

So, you don’t want the vibration accessory?

[Allegra]

This is so sad.

And a little scary.

The John Fetterman of the bear species.

Loving Bear Puffy and blow-up sex doll could have a wonderful life together.

[Trailerpark Badass]

LOL, zing!

If I were a muslim chick like the girl in the article I’d also probably prefer to marry a stuffed bear than a muslim man who felt entitled to beat or murder me if he felt I embarrassed him.

Yes, but she's "British" and writes for the Daily Mail. She's probably dated (i.e., had quick "hookups") with Millennial men of every race and religion.

This article demonstrates the powerful allure of Western decadence.

Had she stayed in Iran, she'd be married with several kids, and attending mosque.

Instead, she's self-absorbed, single, childless in her 30s, lives on Tinder and social media, and has a career writing articles about herself.
