"According to Orient Industry, the company sells approximately 50-80 dolls per month and estimates there are over 20,000 doll-owners in Japan alone (Galbraith, 2008; Maeda, 2007). A spokesman for Orient Industry reports that nearly all of the people who buy these dolls are single men and about 60 percent of them are over the age of 40 (Maeda, 2007). "Nowadays, women are sometimes more dominant than men in the real world, and they don't always pay attention to men," said Hideo Tsuchiya, the company's president. "More and more men are finding themselves miserable so we're making these dolls partly in support of men" (Maeda, 2007). Since the 1950’s the Japanese government began using sex dolls to enhance the lives of its workers in remote outposts such as the South Pole (Galbraith, 2008)."
