DollsYouCanTouch.com<\/a>, is the brainchild of \u201cBenji,\u201d a 46-year-old entrepreneur who spoke to The Post on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\nCustomers can visit a showroom on the Upper East Side to browse life-size sex dolls. Obtained by the New York Post<\/p>\n
He\u2019s been leading tactile tours at his mysterious shop \u2014 the location of which he reveals only to the customers he has vetted \u2014 since July. He gave The Post a peek this week.<\/p>\n
Customers sign a nondisclosure agreement barring them from spilling the tea on the love dolls\u2019 location, and must adhere to a golden rule: \u201cPants stay on!\u201d\u00a0Benji said.<\/p>\n
He got into sex dolls in 2021, after breaking up with his girlfriend and deciding dolls filled his needs better than dating apps, porn sites and pricey escorts.<\/p>\n
The Manhattan showroom and its companion website is the brainchild of \u201cBenji,\u201d a 46-year-old entrepreneur. Obtained by the New York Post<\/p>\n
\u201cMy thing was to go for prostitutes . . . but prostitutes were getting a little bit expensive,\u201d he confessed.<\/p>\n
His first artificial girlfriend was Gabby, a dark skinned brunette 2021 JY doll with N-cups that cost $1,200.<\/p>\n
He ultimately gave her up though.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe breasts were huge and it was really difficult to maneuver her around. . . . I\u2019m in a studio apartment, and it takes up some space,\u201d he told The Post. \u201cAnd family members started visiting me and staying here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The average full-size doll in his shop stands nearly 5 feet and comes in every hair and skin color \u2014 even blue and green skin. Obtained by the New York Post<\/p>\n
So the natural-born salesman, who also hocks candles and furniture, began selling the dolls.<\/p>\n
Inside the neon-lit showroom, three dolls sat on old couches, legs spread akimbo.<\/p>\n
One of them featured pointy, elfen ears, while another\u00a0had an anthropomorphic cat\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

One of the dolls had a choker\u00a0necklace that read \u201cWHORE\u201d in faux diamonds.<\/p>\n

Some come with vibrating body parts. One has freckles, and, with the click of a switch, can warm up to 98 degrees. Another model has an articulating tongue. They are so realistic that the soles of one doll\u2019s feet features faint calluses.<\/p>\n
Most are fitted with lighter foam cores, to reduce weight, and come from China.<\/p>\n
Benji considers Gotham the perfect setting for his kinky commercial venture.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no other showroom that exists,\u201d he noted. \u201cAnd if there is a showroom that has these dolls or a sex novelty store \u2014 they have it behind glass and you can\u2019t touch them.\u201d<\/p>\n
At his shop, \u201cI\u2019m there for an hour, just one-on-one, explaining . . . every single doll while they\u2019re probing, they\u2019re touching, they\u2019re squeezing boobs, they\u2019re sticking fingers in orifices.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a workout for both of us, because they\u2019re like . . . \u2018What does this all look like with that wig on? . . . Can you pose her in this position?\u201d<\/p>\n
The dolls cost up to $3,000 each. Obtained by the New York Post<\/p>\n
Deep-pocketed clients range from tech bros in their mid-20s and finance guys, to semi-retired 70-year-olds stuck in sexless lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the best way to do it, without having the temptation of cheating with . . . organic women,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Many don\u2019t stop at one doll, with most owning more than five, Benji said. <\/p>\n
COVID loneliness led to a surge in the sex-doll business, but nowadays Benji says he makes $2,000 on a good day. \u201cWe\u2019re selling one to three dolls a day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
A black doll is a best-seller, he said, but \u201csome guys want their doll to be green and look like an alien with three boobs. And we have one.\u201d<\/p>\n
He chafes at customers who ask about rentals. We\u2019re not a \u201cdoll brothel,\u201d he sniffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A secret shop hidden in an Upper East Side commercial building has become a mecca for lonely hearts…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":205683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,74,5249,5248,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,77884,67,586,132,5230,26318,68,1154,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-205682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-china","10":"tag-manhattan","11":"tag-metro","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkcity","16":"tag-ny","17":"tag-nyc","18":"tag-sex-toys","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-united-states-of-america","21":"tag-unitedstates","22":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","23":"tag-upper-east-side","24":"tag-us","25":"tag-us-news","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115158885627909174","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
