According to psychotherapist Dr. Thaddeus Birchard, while sex robots and advanced models like Harmony are gaining popularity, they are likely to remain a supplement to traditional BBW sex dolls rather than fully replacing them.

However, owners should be aware of the potential health risks associated with improper use and storage of sex dolls. Inadequate storage conditions can lead to the accumulation of dirt, exposure to pests, and even material degradation, all of which may contaminate the doll's surface. If a doll contains low-quality or reactive materials—sometimes referred to as “shrinking ingredients”—it could pose serious health risks, including infections. This is especially important given the intimate nature of contact between users and their sexdolls. Cleanliness and safe storage should always be a top priority to protect one's reproductive health.

Luxury and Longevity

TPE sex dolls, in particular, come with a high price tag, often placing them in the category of luxury items. Given the investment involved, proper care is essential. Owners should avoid storing dolls in cramped or unsuitable containers, as doing so can damage the doll’s structure and surface over time. Ideally, a protective storage case should be used—especially for more complex male sex robots whose internal components could be compromised without proper handling.

Psychological and Social Perspectives

While the technology behind sex robots continues to advance, some professionals in the mental health field express concerns about the long-term psychological impact of such innovations. Critics argue that hyper-realistic sex robots could reduce human dependency on physical relationships, potentially affecting emotional intimacy and social behavior.

Parallel Tech: Smart Glasses Reimagined

In a related sphere of consumer technology, North’s Focals smart glasses are finding success despite earlier setbacks seen with Google Glass. Priced at $999, Focals offer a sleek, prescription-ready design that displays notifications, messages, maps, and weather directly in the user’s line of sight. Users can navigate the interface using a small, four-way joystick known as the Loop, which also features integrated voice control via Amazon Alexa.

North’s co-founder, Aaron Grant, admitted that entering the smart glasses market was a challenge due to Google’s past failure. However, he emphasized that Focals are unique, thanks to their discreet appearance and full functionality within a traditional-looking frame.

Whether you're exploring the world of advanced custom sex dolls or investing in the latest wearable tech, proper usage, thoughtful maintenance, and ethical reflection remain central to getting the most out of modern innovations.
