Location: 6yDoll Office

Setting: The office is modest but well-organized, with large windows offering a view of the city. Inside, the lighting is soft, and a few modern art pieces decorate the walls. At the center of the room is a long table, with a few documents, a recording device, and a cup of hot coffee on it. John L. sits on one side, dressed in a well-tailored suit, looking focused. As the interviewer, I sit across from him, ready to dive into this in-depth conversation.

Interviewer: John, it’s a pleasure to have the opportunity to interview you. You've been in the sex doll industry for two years and have achieved remarkable success. Could you start by telling us what motivated you to enter this industry?

John L.: Thank you for having me. Before I entered this industry, I was a designer and founded my own brand, Not Ye (奈野). During the COVID-19 pandemic, I realized how many people were feeling isolated due to lockdowns. I believe sex dolls can be more than just physical pleasure tools; they can provide emotional support and companionship. This belief drove me to join the industry, aiming to offer better products and services to those in need of emotional connection.

Interviewer: Your philosophy is truly meaningful. You mentioned that sex dolls can offer emotional support. Can you elaborate on how you achieve this in your product design and customer service?

John L.: We pay great attention to detail and quality in the design and manufacturing process. Each doll is meticulously crafted to ensure it looks and feels as realistic as possible. Additionally, we actively seek and incorporate customer feedback to continually improve our products. We want every customer to find their ideal companion, whether in appearance or functionality. By doing so, we not only meet their physical needs but also help alleviate feelings of loneliness and stress.

Interviewer: It sounds like you have high standards for product quality and customer experience. You also helped establish an online store that offers a curated selection of dolls from different brands and manufacturers. Could you tell us more about the inception and operation of this project?

John L.: Certainly. The idea behind our online store was to make high-quality sex dolls more accessible to a broader audience. We rigorously select dolls that meet our standards in terms of quality and design. Our goal is to ensure that customers can find the best dolls without having to spend a lot of time and effort sifting through the market. This approach not only enhances the shopping experience but also strengthens our reputation in the industry.

Interviewer: You mentioned that sex dolls provide emotional support beyond physical satisfaction. Do you have any specific customer stories that illustrate this?

John L.: Absolutely. One customer wrote to us about how he felt deeply lonely after losing his partner. After purchasing one of our dolls, he found a new sense of companionship and even began to enjoy life again. He mentioned that the doll gave him a renewed sense of purpose and significantly eased his emotional pain. Stories like this are numerous and they are what keep us motivated.

Interviewer: Those stories are indeed touching. How do you address the societal stigma and misconceptions surrounding sex dolls? What efforts has your company made in this regard?

John L.: There is indeed a lot of stigma and misunderstanding about sex dolls, with many viewing them as unhealthy or immoral. We believe that sex dolls can be valuable emotional companions, especially for those who are lonely or struggling with psychological issues. We engage in various forms of outreach to educate the public and change perceptions. We also actively participate in industry conferences and forums to advocate for the positive aspects of sex dolls.

Interviewer: Speaking of industry conferences and forums, what have you gained from interacting with your peers at these events?

John L.: These events are incredibly beneficial. We gain insights into the latest technologies and trends in the industry, as well as valuable experiences from other professionals. Through these exchanges, we better understand market needs and can improve our products and services. Additionally, we build partnerships that help advance the industry as a whole.

Interviewer: Thank you so much for sharing, John. Lastly, what are your hopes or visions for the future of the sex doll industry?

John L.: I hope the sex doll industry will be more widely accepted and understood, free from the constraints of stigma. I also hope our products can positively impact more lives, helping people deal with loneliness and psychological issues. We will continue to strive for excellence in product quality and customer service, ensuring every customer feels our dedication and care.

Interviewer: Thank you very much for the interview, John. I wish you continued success in your future endeavors.

John L.: Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure sharing my thoughts with you.
