Valley of the Sex Dolls

The girlies contend with the complex history of man’s most baffling creation — the sex doll. They unpack the contested history of sailors circle-jerking into homemade wenches, what hyper-realistic silicone dolls are doing to our contemporary beauty standards, and ask an important question: is every man who has ever owned one a sexist pig or are we all Puritans for thinking so? Plus, a discussion about a man, his sex doll wife, and the Instagram account that started it all. Digressions include the most horrific photo that’s ever graced the Binchtopia inbox, the prison break of Eliza’s cats, and an exciting announcement from Julia.
