We have long been used to the fact that in our material life there is a substitute for everything. You can tweak your appearance beyond recognition, replace any organ, we eat foods with a substitute for protein and sugar, flour and natural milk. We purify water by running it through all kinds of filters. When we don’t get enough sunlight, capsules that replenish it come to our aid. Even the air we enrich with something or, simply, we add pleasant smells of foreign plants. I can’t count all of them.

Now for the main point. We can quite easily replace a human being with a silicone one. Manufacturers widely advertise their products in all kinds of media, insisting that these seemingly substitutes are vital to many.

One magazine for a male audience pointed out that there is no need to carry the family burden, while constantly listening to constant criticism, when there is a “wonderful” opportunity not to take care of his wife and children. Ah, the needs of the body can be satisfied in a less disruptive way, without having to prove your love every time.

You don’t have to go through divorce proceedings and pay alimony. A silicone robot woman can easily replace your wife and become a faithful companion of life.

Artificial women first appeared in the 1930s of the 20th century in Japan. Submariners were instructed to use them. They were rubber dolls, not very pretty or gentle. But technological advances made their contribution and they began to be made of latex, and soon silicone.

The American company Real Dolls already in the 80’s put on stream the production of silicone girlfriends at a very reasonable price. On the outside, the deputy was much more attractive and pleasant to the touch.

Twenty years later, realistic dolls began to be brought to life. The Japanese did it again. The doll was taught to speak, to perform basic commands, to cook, and the soft hands became movable.

In 2010, Douglas Hines introduced the Roxxxy robot to the public. It happened in Las Vegas at the “adult products” show. It is intended mainly for “big company bosses who don’t have time to mess around with real women. The future owner of a silicone beauty in advance stipulates with the supplier his requirements – parameters, color of skin, eyes and hair, etc. There is no problem ordering an exact replica of Pamela Anderson, Angelina Jolie or another celebrity. That is, everyone can feel like a “Pygmalion,” creating their own “Galatea. Then there will definitely be no claims to the chosen one.

Of course, there will be those who will object, saying, what kind of happiness is in a clumsy silent doll? And someone will envy: “It is silent, listening with his mouth open, faithfully looking at his soft eyes. Isn’t that happiness?” But nothing stands still and Douglas is already stepping on his heels.

The new girl is equipped with a computer. And if her owner needs constant communication – she is ready, just connect it to the network. Potential buyers joke: “What if the system fails and she starts nagging the owner, like an ordinary grumpy wife…?”

Laughter is laughter, but the members of the strong half of mankind gladly replace their girlfriends with these silicone beauties. They even came up with the name “idolators,” from two English words – idol and doll. There are documented cases of idolaters truly falling in love with silicone partners and marrying them. And one of these husbands even managed to divorce his beloved, on the grounds that they did not agree in character.

What’s not to like…. Some men today reasoning that having a silicone wife is much more profitable – better to invest in silicone once, than a living wife is constantly pumping them. In addition, she doesn’t age or get better, she doesn’t need cosmetologists, diets, or manicurists. It doesn’t require fur coats, cars, and diamonds. She never has a headache. And, most importantly, she doesn’t read your texts, she’s not jealous or cheating. And for housework, there are household appliances.

So, the men are dealt with. What about women? They, too, were taken care of and not left alone. As they say, a holiday has come to their street.

They are amazing admirers of any of us, faithful and loyal, giving a woman the full range of necessary emotions. Here’s a summary to one of them.

The name Nate, does not like domestic turmoil, prefers romance. He wants your tender yet passionate relationship to never end. Every time he loves you as if it were your first meeting. He lives only by your smiles, and your kisses are like fresh air that fills his body with oxygen. You are the meaning of his life. What could be more beautiful than his eyes that reflect your warm smile? Take care of him, and he will make you the most beloved.

I’m sure that any woman reading this description would think twice. After all, this is the man of her dreams. And let him sit at home on the couch and wait for his mistress from work – a woman is satisfied with such an arrangement. She missed the warmth, tenderness, and devotion so much.

“What about the children?” -many of you will ask. It’s that simple! People have already found a way out and are babysitting silicone babies. Reborns are dolls that imitate babies. Reborn translates from English as “reborn, reincarnated. They literally reproduce living babies – warm to the touch, with breathing and a beating heart. And no worries with it! I came up with his appearance, placed the order, and received my long-awaited baby in the mail.

These children are so realistic that it’s hard to tell them from the real thing. And the hassle is much less – no crying at night, no need to change diapers, you can bathe once a month. Have fun, buy clothes, toys, pacifiers, ride in the stroller in the park. Enjoy his obedience, sing him lullabies, read him stories. In general, Dad Mom and I are a silicone family.

Well, the families were sorted out somehow. What about those who can’t get themselves a miracle partner? Turns out they’ve been taken care of, too. In Amsterdam they plan to open the world’s first brothel with robot prostitutes, in order to attract people with healthy robotic sex!

But the Chinese, as always, are ahead. China has created a service for the rental of sex robots – an hour of communication with a silicone partner will cost only 150 dollars. So it’s all taken care of.

What’s next? Is it really true that the traditional family is no longer needed? Will robots cheerfully marry humans and each other? And maybe, on top of all that, learn how to carry and give birth to children?

I guess we’ll have to pass a new set of laws protecting the rights of human substitutes….

Personally, all this makes me sad and even scared. We didn’t really need each other before, but now….

The sympathy, the falling in love, the thrill, the arias under the window, the sighs in the moonlight had finally evaporated. We kept it simple. The only thing we want is to be comfortable and not a burden.

After all, real feelings are work. It is increasingly difficult for us to say thank you, to smile back, to give each other joy, to trust, to take responsibility for the other. Are we degenerating as a subspecies of the animal kingdom?

I would like to believe that everything that people have invented, all these substitutes for ourselves, will remain a kind of attraction! And we, missing real feelings and emotions, rush into each other’s arms, feel the real breath, hear a living heartbeat and never want to part!
