I recently read an article about a Canadian Parliament Sex Doll. My first thought was shock, who even thinks of such thing?! To put it simply, it’s a life-sized silicone sex toy, modelled after Canada’s Parliament. The not-so-modest doll was created by a Canadian porn company, at the request of one of their customers. The article on this reminded me of the current scandal that’s been plaguing the Canadian Parliament. This is why I wanted to share my thoughts on the matter with my friend.
Let me start by saying, I’m all for celebrating a person’s sexuality and allowing them their own personal fetishes. I’m not here to judge, nor should anyone else for that matter. Having said that, I find this to be crossing a line. It’s not so much the doll that bothers me, but the fact that it’s a representation of Canadian Parliament members. It’s trashy, offensive and disrespectful.
From a legal standpoint, I’m sure it’s perfectly legal, as the Canadian Parliament doesn’t actually have a law prohibiting the dolls. This doesn’t make it okay though, for it gives the impression that Canadian Parliament members endorsed the doll. I do believe the Canadian Parliament should pass a law making it illegal to create these dolls, to put an end to this sort of thing altogether.
In terms of the porn industry creating these dolls, I think it’s wrong in general. Sex is a natural thing, and I’m sure people can find other ways to express themselves sexually, without creating an abomination like this. The industry is exploiting Canada’s political situation to make a quick buck, and this could have repercussions if word gets around.
The fact of the matter is, this doll says nothing positive about Canadian politics, and it also doesn’t help with the current scandal that’s making the rounds. If anything, it’s disrespectful to Parliament members and it’s sending a bad message to the public about Canadian politics. I think it’s important to take a stand against such things to salvage whatever dignity and respect Canadian politics still has.
Having shared my opinion, I wanted to point out an alternate point of view on the issue. Perhaps some have argued that sex dolls, in general, can be useful in developing a person’s sexual identity or vibrators exploring different kinds of intimacy with a partner. It’s also an intimate creative act for some, and for some, it’s a form of self-expression. I’m not saying I agree with this, and I understand why the Canadian Parliament Sex Doll may not be seen favorably by the majority of people.
I think the debate on this will go on for a while and, in the end, it’s up to the Canadian Parliament if they want to take action or not. It’s also up to people to decide what they want to support or not. I just hope that whatever the decision, it has to be in favor of Canadian Senators. And of course, thoughtful sexual expression is important, just hopefully not in the form of a doll made specifically to represent Canadian politics.
To sum it up, I think it’s inappropriate to use Canadian Parliament for such a product. It’s disrespectful to the political process and to the politicians. I believe it’s important to take a stand against this thing if, for no other reason, to protect the dignity and respect of Canadian politics. It’s also important to be mindful of what kinds of sexual expression we support. There’s nothing wrong with exploring different kinds of intimacy with our partner, but there are limits. Perhaps using dolls are not one of those.
