Just Like Sex With An Organic Woman

// May 22nd, 2009 // No Comments » // General

Ask Davecat about Sidore–pronounced She-doh-ray– and he will tell you she’s everything that turns him on: beautiful, loyal, and a great listener. Si-chan, as he affectionately calls her, is half British, half Japanese, which works out nicely because he’s always had a thing for both British and Japanese culture.

Like many born in the sun sign Cancer, Sidore is a homebody, but then, she couldn’t leave the comfort of the bed she shares with Davecat even if she wanted to: Sidore is a 100-pound solid silicone love doll, conceived in a factory in July 2000. She is just one of thousands of a particular brand of high-end love doll, Real Doll, out there in the world, tucked into beds and hanging in closets.

In cyberspace, Real Dolls are goddesses of a blossoming subculture where the cusps between art and pornography, the ludicrous and the tender, and fantasy and fetishism blur like watercolors.

For some owners, a Real Doll is simply a 3-D Playboy– voluptuous and eager to please, an inanimate co-conspirator in a thrilling dip into synthetic love. For others, with their torn breasts and mangled genitals, Real Dolls are speechless vessels of violence.

According to Davecat and many Real Doll owners, sex with a Real Doll is quite satisfactory. “For the most part, it’s like sex with organic woman…who doesn’t say anything and is brimful of Quaaludes”.

Thirty-two-year-old Davecat is African American, and he’s studying to become a court reporter. He affects a British manner which comes across through his web site, http://sixsixsixties.blogspot.com.

Artificial women first caught Davecat’s fancy when he was about eight years old. In a department store in Detroit, his mother emerged from a dressing room to find him talking to a mannequin who was wearing a short tennis skirt.

When he entered adulthood he has owned a regular mannequin for a number of years, but it never made it into his bed. But of Sidore, he likes having her in bed beside him.

From a clinical standpoint, doll love is a mystery. No studies have ever been done of doll lovers, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for professional speculation. Doll love could signal any number of things. For example, a doll lover with a harem might have had been surrounded by dominant women as a child. Or, in the cases where men prefer dolls to live human sexual partners, dolls paraphilia could signal severe problems with trust, intimacy, or social anxiety.

Dr. Douglas Tucker, a psychiatrist who specialize in sexual offenders ventured that for a vulnerable man, doll love could stunt normal emotion development because intimacy with another person is a milestone in maturity. He says pedophiles or doll owners with violent tendencies toward women–a group that he speculates is a small subset of doll owners–possibly could use a doll to “rehearse” offending behavior. It would probably be dangerous, for example, for a pedophile to use a young-looking doll because it would reinforce his fantasies with orgasm.

America Misunderstood

// April 6th, 2009 // No Comments » // General

Why people abroad have this frightening image of us?
We export equivocated “foreign” culture.

You may be surprised to find out how often and why “AMERICA” is so misunderstood by so many people around the world.Misunderstandings result from the peculiar way we see the world and from the peculiar way the world sees us. “How come?” you may say, “American films, books, and television programs are well known all over the world.” Exactly, the fact that we downpour our culture on so many peoples creates most of those misunderstandings!

The causes for misinterpretation vary. However, we provide almost all of them. The world sees us through fun-house mirrors provided by us. Through similar mirrors we see the world and even ourselves in a peculiar way, too. The most noticeable of these fun-house mirrors is our language.

After listening to claims and complaints from people all over the world, I found out that English, our English, causes most of these misunderstandings. “But English is almost universally spoken!” you may say. Basic English yes! English, no. In fact, most English speakers do not believe that those who are not native to the language will ever get to learn it well. Furthermore, being a language, which is not mutually intelligible with any other, English instills in us a sense of alienation characteristic to such languages.

England created the English language, but the USA was the nation that turned it into the richest language on earth and a formidable communication tool. It was our nation, open to changes, immigration, new mores and new ideas that made English universal. We have ethnic groups from every corner of the world and each of them has contributed to make English what it is today.Nevertheless, absorption has been too fast sometimes, leaving no room for analysis. Once the majority accepts a simple word or phrase, that word — or phrase — freezes, allowing no correction or adjustment in spelling, meaning or pronunciation. Rectification rarely happens in English. This inability to rectify and correct words is the dark side of the English language. The expression “coining” clearly describes what usage does to a new word or phrase: it makes it metal solid. Incorrigible usage gave us a multitude of traditional errors nailed them so deeply into our minds that no one can hammer them out of our heads.

The world of Japanese gangsters

// March 5th, 2009 // No Comments » // General

The yakuza are among the largest crime organization in the world. In Japan, as of 2005, there are some 86,300 known members. In Japan, yakuza organizations are referred to as “boryokudan” (violence group).

Who are the yakuza?: How the mob rose to power in Japan?
Japanese mobsters came to prominence after the Second World War, running the black markets that sprang up in the devastated country. At their peak, they mixed with prime ministers, celebrities and Japan’s richest businessmen, and were romanticized in popular movies and books as protectors of traditions and the true inheritors of the Bushido code of honor.

The introduction of an anti-mob law in 1992 and a decade of economic slump has taken its toll–in the law’s immediate aftermath, several smaller groups went bust or merged, and the number of full and associate members fell from a high of more than 90,000 to 79,300.

Yet, they are still many times more numerous than the US mafia at its peak and the biggest yakuza group, the Yamaguchi-gumi (the biggest yakuza family with more than 39,000 members divided into 750 clans, thus making up 45% of all yakuza in Japan) is bigger and more powerful than ever.

The group’s bosses have their HQ in a large compound in an upper-class neighborhood of Kobe City, where they host a monthly gathering of crime bosses from across the country, under the noses of the police.

Yakuza income has shrunk along with the rest of the economy, but some groups have moved out of traditional business such as prostitution and loan-sharking into real estate.

A government-funded study in the late-1990s found that as much as 42 per cent of bad loans from banks involved organized crime. Most mobsters avoid stirring up trouble with the law, but occasionally violence flares.

In the days of the Shogun, Japan’s authorities would mark criminals with tattoos to distinguish them from the rest of the population. Worn proudly as symbols of status and dedication. Yakuza tattoos have evolved into magnificent, multicolored full-body masterpieces.

Women are also integral parts of Japan’s gangland society. Wives, mistresses and girlfriends of top yakuza figures often undergo extensive tattooing. These women use tattoos to demonstrate their affiliation with the gang lifestyle. It’s done to show loyalty and obedience to the yakuza member they are involved with.

Like Shoko Tendo, author of the best-selling book “Yakuza Moon: Memoirs of a Gangster’s Daughter”, she had herself tattooed in traditional Yakuza style, a tattoo that winds its way to her chest and across her back, culminating, on her left shoulder, in the face of a Muromachi-era courtesan with breast exposed and a knife clenched between her teeth. She’s a daughter of a yakuza boss. She grew up in the house of a crime boss, spent her teens in a fog of hard drugs and sex, then careened from one doomed relationship to another with a succession of violent petty gangsters. Her life has been scarred by beatings, addiction and several attempted rapes and suicides.

Her battle scars make her sound like a casualty from a war zone– broken bones and teeth, perforated eardrums, a hernia, bald patches from having her hair pulled out and hepatitis, probably from drug use. Plastic surgery has helped reconstruct her face.

She does not believe she is alone among yakuza offspring in having had a turbulent childhood. She said “Japanese society looks very calm on the surface, but underneath it is in turmoil, discrimination is rife”. “There is a big difference between becoming a single mother after a divorce and because you choose to be one.” But she is adamant that she would not change her past. “I had a hard time as the daughter of a gangster, but looking back I wouldn’t have lived my life any other way. I am proud that my father was a yakuza. I know this is a world that has no proper place for women. But I have his DNA.”, she added.

Tendo turned her life around before writing her biography. The book offers a rare woman’s view of Japan’s criminal underbelly, a cruel world ruled by “chinpira” (young yakuza punks), many of whom seem to have beaten the daylights out of her.
