Then there's these dolls. It's clearly more than just a tug, but it's also a pretty long way from the real thing. You're try to fool the body into thinking you're ****ing a girl, but it just doesn't seem like there's a way to do that without getting a seriously dissonant feeling in the brain.
The doll guys apparently like to argue that it's strictly better than traditional masturbation, but I think a lot of people would disagree. Maybe I'm the only one here who wouldn't give it a go even if no one else would ever know about it, but I really doubt it.
Seriously, it would just be too weird for me. Uncanny.
You speak of 'jerking off'...
Where is your mind when you do this?
What exactly are you visualizing to stimulate your masturbation?
Is not masturbation a form or fantasizing
having sex with a sexy woman?
I contend that the majority of men would give a doll a go, but many only if no one else knew. There is some sort of astigmatism there. I do find it rather ironic that it is men and not women that seem to be the most outspoken against the dolls. As one wife put it, "I don't mind what my husband does with the doll, but if I catch him with another woman our marriage is over"
I also had an entire shop of mechanics that wanted to take jessica drake home with them when I showed up there with her in my car.
As in Alcohol, drugs, video games, poker and anything else, there are always people that can take it to excess, even to the point of addiction. However these people are a small minority in every community and not a reason to chastise the entire community. But it happens.
The problem with society is that when they see something different, they have a tendency to group everyone involved into the same stereotype.

The issues addressed and applications available using the the dolls are as widespread as a power tool or a car. Pure and simple...If something has nothing to offer someone, they should simply find something else rather than try to rationalize or criticize others' interest in it. Life's too short to spend time on things you don't enjoy or want to explore, when there are so many things yet untouched.
Short of a real human partner, dolls are the best 3D object stimulation for masturbation I have yet to encounter in my 57 years. For me, the jessica drake Wicked RealDoll is like she stepped out of her 2D video into my room. True, she because still life after stepping out, but that is where the imagination and fantasizing comes in, and it is a lot easier to boink a doll than a TV screen
I once had a friend that always chose female characters in Role playing games. We thought he was a latent transgender or transvestite. Then one day I decided to play a female elf. By the time I had played her through the first game chapter, I realized he was doing ti for the eye candy and I was very much enjoying myself. It was not what I was playing but what I was looking at that enhanced the game. I now play female characters most of the time. I even plan on ordering an Elf doll to further enhance my experiences when I am playing RPG's. If the RPG character, makes me horny, I can address the issue in full 3D, sort of extending the game.
So, while it was easy for me to criticize someone from a third person perspective, I truly just did not 'get it' until I jumped both feet in.
And yes, I also tried the grass brownies in Amsterdam. Didn't do anything for me, but I am still an advocate of legalization, if for no other reason than on the basis of economics. Morality has a cost and there comes a point when even society cannot afford to enforce every little thing they deem as not mainstream. Even morality is an evolutionary process.
