rent a doll

Words escape me. The Mainichi Daily, found via Dean’s World, runs an article on the thriving rental business that has developed for high-end sex dolls. Dean also notes the fembot.

It’s hard to tell whether it’s a condemnation of Japanese men or Japanese women, but workers in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the country’s thriving call girl market are all absolute dolls - really, according to Spa! (12/21).
Several companies are involved in the bustling trade supplying customers looking to slip it into some silicon, with lifelike figurines that set back buyers something in the vicinity of 600,000 yen as opposed to the simple, blow-up types with the permanently open mouths that can be bought from vending machines for a few thousand yen….
"We’ve got four dolls working for us at the moment. We get at least one job a day, even on weekdays, so we made back our initial investment in the first month," Kimura says. "Unlike employing people, everything we make becomes a profit and we never have to worry about the girls not turning up for work."
Doll no Mori charges start at 13,000 yen for a 70-minute session with the dolls, which is about the same price as a regular call girl service. The company boasts of many repeat customers and a membership clientele topping 200.

The report doesn’t mention if the company charges extra for cleaning.
