@Plasticletterbox yes, many people experience loneliness, but this is not alleviated by owning a female-shaped piece of silicone with penetrable orifices. An object is not a human - it cannot provide companionship, just sex on demand. We can acknowledge the reality that reducing women and children to the status of objects to be sexually used is harmful. 

It is also the case that paedophiles are not using child sex abuse dolls instead of sexually offending against children, but in addition to this. While it's true child sex abuse dolls are illegal in Australia, paedophiles continue to try to import them or make their own, and go to extreme lengths to get around laws - like purchasing childlike dolls with large, fake, removable breasts, concealing them in safes and other items, and ordering dolls with no holes and creating them themselves. There is no justification for creating replica women and girls for the purpose of men's unlimited sexual use, least of all because men feel entitled to them. 

I’ve been researching sex dolls and men who own dolls for several years. I’ve recently published a book on the topic (Sex Dolls, Robots and Woman Hating - Spinifex Press) on how the trade in these products - replica women and girls existing for men’s unlimited sexual use - harms women and girls.
