      Yeah I went down a rabbit hole (heh) trying to see if it was true.

      And no, turns out it’s just a bunch of pesticides and more recently (since the mid 90s) they apparently infect them on purpose with something that destroys their liver.

      Australia has only used biological control. The stuffed rabbit host of a childrens’ tv shows was named Mixie for one of the biological controls: mixomatosis - a rabbit virus used in the past.

      Given the existence of products like “real doll”, there’s some merit to it happening to humans.

      I don’t know enough about any of it since I’m in a relationship with someone who has a pulse, and I like it that way.

        It’s a product aimed at people that can’t get laid otherwise, and from what I hear it’s usually a one-time thing because people soon realize it’s as good as thrusting a plank.

        Suggesting that it’s real purpose is to control birth rate is just fucking ridiculous, nobody will ever ditch their woman because they figured that an unmoving full-sized fake vagina is better at sex than her.
