It was an absolutely surreal experience. I still can’t believe I saw a person ‘destroy’ a sex doll. I was out with a group of friends and we stumbled upon the strangest sight. There was a man, standing in the middle of the street, Bat In hand, slamming it on the doll. It was so bizarre and almost unimaginable.
My first thought was, why would someone do that? I remember standing there, frozen and shocked. I could hear my friends exclaiming, “That’s disgusting!” and “What’s wrong with that guy?”. It was like he had some kind of vendetta against the doll. He was so determined to get rid of it and I’m sure he did so with a vengeance.
At first, I was confused, and then I felt a little sorry for the doll. But then I noticed the disappointed and sorrowful expression on the man’s face, and I realised he was doing it out of a sense of desperation. Maybe he had a bad experience in the past with a sex doll and was just trying to get it out of his life. I’m sure it’s something he will probably regret for a very long time.
I was struck by how quick it was for the man to just grab the bat and start destroying the doll. He took it out on the doll and was successful, but the lack of regard for the materials or its price was disturbing. He simply wanted it gone and out of sight and he had got rid of it as if by magic. It was like a visual representation of his demon; the pain, anger and hurt all melted into one.
I guess it’s just a testament to how powerful a single moment can be. Just one split second of thought or action can change everything. It was an eye-opening moment for me and it made me realise that sometimes, things are best left alone.
It was heartbreaking to watch someone take out their frustrations on something helpless and sex dolls vulnerable. It felt wrong. The way the man treated the sex doll was inexcusable and it made me feel sad for him. It was a reminder that sometimes, we do things because we are hurting inside, because we are desperate, or because we just cannot cope anymore.
I understand the impulse of getting rid of something that we don’t want – be it a physical object, a memory, or someone – but it’s not the right way to handle situations like this. I think it’s better to find healthier coping mechanisms and to talk to someone about our feelings, instead of lashing out.
I later found out that the man had been through a really tough time in his life and couldn’t cope with it in a healthy way. I felt an immense sadness for him and wished I could do something to help him. Still, it was a valuable experience for me as it made me realise how important it is to take care of our emotional and mental health.
Another thing it made me contemplate is if destroying non-living objects is a valid form of self-expression. I think that in some cases, it could be possible, but in many others, it could also be destructive and misguided. We must always be mindful of how we express our emotions, so that we don’t misplace our anger and pain on an object.
In addition, I realised that sex dolls are so easily and quickly destroyed. I wondered if it was a sign of how vulnerable and fragile we can be as humans, even when life throws challenges our way. I thought about the notion of relinquishing control over things that are out of our hands or that we feel uncomfortable with.
The incident with the sex doll was an experience that changed my perspective in more ways than one. I realised that releasing anger and frustration in a positive, healthy way is much more powerful than simply destroying something. It’s important to remember to stay compassionate towards ourselves and others, even when dealing with difficult emotions.
I also learned that our feelings and emotions can be incredibly powerful. Even something as abstract or physical as a sex doll can be a powerful tool to express or release things that we are feeling. It’s important to recognise our feelings, and to practice healthy ways to express them. Acknowledge how you feel and learn to channel these emotions in a productive way. That way, we can become much happier people.
