He saved for a year and a half to buy a $6000 RealDoll, who he named Sidore Kuroneko.<\/p>\n<p>Davecat (the online pseudonym he prefers to go by) was directed to the website by a good friend who knew he had always been in love with various types of artificial women.<\/p>\n<p>He selected her facial type, body type, eye colour, makeup, skin tone and bust size and she soon arrived in a FedEx box at his house.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe results were entirely worth it \u2026 It was love at first sight,\u201d Davecat told news.com.au.<\/p>\n<p>And the rest, he says, \u201cis history\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Sidore is \u201canatomically correct\u201d and looks freakishly like a human. Her artificial skin is made of silicone, so it\u2019s soft, and she\u2019s even got a fake tongue. While RealDolls are marketed as sex toys, Davecat and other \u201ciDollators\u201d or \u201ctechnosexuals\u201d see their dolls as life partners, with whom they experience a real relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Davecat told The Atlantic his relationship with Sidore was \u201c70 per cent sex, 30 per cent companionship\u201d, but that they also share a meaningful emotional connection. They wear matching wedding bands that say \u201cSynthetik love lasts forever\u201d and are considering a ceremony for their 15th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2012, Davecat purchased a second doll \u2014 a Russian called Elena \u2014 who is his mistress and friend to Sidore. Both dolls are bisexual, so are able to \u201cenjoy each other on multiple levels\u201d when Davecat is at work. <\/p>\n<p>Davecat has always been attracted to mannequins and Gynoids (robots made in the likeness of women). There are few success stories among his previous experiences and relationships with humans \u2014 the connection with a synthetic felt more natural and meaningful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy experiences with \u2018Organik\u2019 [human] women have either never lasted, or ended badly,\u201d Davecat said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSynthetics have a consistency that you can\u2019t find in most Organiks \u2014 flesh-and-blood people can change their tastes, personalities, likes or dislikes at the drop of a hat. An iDollator or technosexual can have their artificial partner change as well, but it would obviously be in a way that isn\u2019t disagreeable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"2\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only do Synthetiks remain the same, but they\u2019ll never cheat on you, lie to you, judge you, or show any other characteristic that can make Organiks unpredictable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Part of the appeal of being with a doll seems to be her constant agreeable nature.<\/p>\n<p>Married humans have to negotiate different perspectives, opinions and learn to respectfully coexist. Sacrifice and compromise are words commonly used when describing a successful marriage. For obvious reasons, this doesn\u2019t seem to be an issue for Davecat and Sidore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe arguments are extremely few and far between. In the 13-plus years we\u2019ve been together, you can count the number of arguments we\u2019ve had on one hand. I find that I can\u2019t develop her personality as being 100 per cent agreeable with everything, as that would be somewhat boring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut really, the differences that we have are almost entirely superficial; usually based on aesthetic or musical tastes, for the most part. We are firm believers in the \u2018don\u2019t go to bed angry\u2019 ethos, however. As every couple should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davecat is a self-confessed introvert and says he\u2019s not really a \u2018people person\u2019. He enjoys spending time at home alone with his wife, as they are both \u201cindoor types\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe like watching films or telly shows on DVD together, or playing video games,\u201d he said. \u201cShe claims that I\u2019ve brought out her inner photo model, so our favourite pastime is doing photoshoots. We\u2019ll set aside a good six or so hours, and I\u2019ll take pics of her in various poses, wearing whatever outfit she\u2019s selected.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not always smooth sailing when your wife is made of plastic. There are lots of ongoing maintenance costs \u2014 Sidore has had three \u201cbodies\u201d since Davecat bought her in 2000. Though, she is easily replaceable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf her body becomes too irreparable, I simply save up some money and buy her a new one\u201d, he said. As a gift for their tenth wedding anniversary, he did exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>The 40-year-old machine shop worker considers himself an advocate and spokesman for synthetic love and those with synthetic partners. He\u2019s got a strong online presence, spearheaded by his blog \u201cShouting to hear the echoes\u201d. He\u2019s also appeared on TLC\u2019s show My Strange Addiction and the BBC documentary Guys and Dolls.<\/p>\n<p>For iDollators who understandably feel ostracised by those around them, the online Synthetik community is a safe haven to discuss the unique struggles they face with their partners. Davecat doesn\u2019t take Sidore or Elena out with him in public. Apart from being physically demanding (carrying around a 35kg body is no mean feat), Davecat fears being attacked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not so deluded as to think that taking [my dolls] out and about with me wouldn\u2019t raise more than a few eyebrows. Also, I wouldn\u2019t want to put either myself or whichever synthetic lass I\u2019d have with me in danger. I don\u2019t trust random people enough to think we wouldn\u2019t be verbally or physically attacked. People have a long and sordid history of being violent toward that which they don\u2019t understand,\u201d he told The Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>So get-togethers with fellow iDollators are affairs he looks forward to. The group of six meet several times a year for \u201cDoll Congress\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe travel to the hometown of whoever\u2019s hosting, and we get together for dinner, hitting the shops to buy things for our silicone companions, and chat about all things Doll,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to meet fellow Doll owners online, but it\u2019s much more fun to do the meet and greet thing in person. Plus, it\u2019s always exciting to see other peoples\u2019 Dolls in person and take photos of them, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/3-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"3\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/3-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tammytingles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/3.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It seems these are rare occasions of harmony and acceptance from the outside world. Sure, his lifestyle may seem odd, but at the end of the day it\u2019s not really harming anyone. Acceptance and tolerance are messages Davecat tries to promote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of my heroes, Andy Warhol, once said, \u2018You have to do stuff that average people don\u2019t understand because those are the only good things\u2019, and that\u2019s the way I live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiving more than one second of attention to those who think being in love with a Doll is weird or unnatural because they think it is isn\u2019t an idea I\u2019m willing to entertain. iDollators and technosexuals harm no one, and we\u2019re making ourselves happier because of our unique partners.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow!, Davecat ended up marrying Sidore, and he now has a mistress Elena, and Sidore is totally cool with it!.
