Best sex of my life, RealDoll is better than a real woman!

—I thought, “Wow, I would have fun with something like that!” —he recalls— I just love women.

Mills met his first wife in communist Poland in 1984, through a mail-order catalog of women seeking husbands, and spent 18 years with her, until he met his next one online. This last marriage ended just before she was arrested by the FBI for a white collar crime. Since then, Mills has avoided relationships. He estimates that of the approximately 180 women he has slept with, just over half were prostitutes. But in recent years the whore trade has been on the decline in Huntington, so Mills thought maybe a RealDoll could bail him out. He asked for a RealDoll2 model of “Body A” and named it Taffy, the same day he sent a check for $7,149 [about 6,600 euros] to a factory in San Marcos, California, called Abyss Creations. Three months later a coffin-shaped box arrived. Excited, he opened it, tore the plastic, and let out a cry. The doll looked into his eyes. Mills got excited.

There is no marking on the exterior of Abyss Creations, which sits at the end of a lonely freeway service road north of San Diego. Annette Blair stands at the entrance. She is the sales manager, a cheerful woman with generous curves, who immediately closes the door so that onlookers don't sneak in, especially teenagers, who like to peek inside.

Upon entering the venue, one of the first things you see are the metal structures of a face and twisted dreadlocks made of metal tubes, resembling Medusa hair, created for an adult film. When plugged in, this fantastical, futuristic doll lights up like a pinball whose insides spin. Its exposed electronic circuitry sexually arouses robot sex fetishists, the manager confirms, but this object is nothing but a work of art. Apart from the breasts, the doll cannot fulfill its purpose, unlike what happens to two statuesque blondes who seem from another world and who give the impression that they are scrutinizing or piercing us with their eyes.
