Marital Aid Test Kitchen: Your “Cheap Sex” Inflate-A-Date

The blow-up doll has become an international symbol of low-rent depravity. And what accessory justifies your fear of commitment better than something that deflates under the weight of your love-spendings? Listening to the concerns of a nation that can't hitch its wagon to a rubberized three-hole counterpaart for more than one night, Topco has released a series of four archetypical one night stands in its Cheap Sex series.

If you gave yourself five seconds to think of the quintessential American attachment-free intercourse fantasies, chances are you would list the massage parlor geisha, the truckstop prostie, the super groupie, and the "urban" dive bar stripper.

With Backstage Betty, Truckstop Trixxxie, Shanita Buck, and (this one was a stretch) Kum Inmee we have a reeally admirable starter group of western fantasy objects that have wisely skirted porn stereotypes/Halloween costumes like Asian Schoolgirl, Porn Star, and Dominatrix.

These four get us in a product line state of mind. What about Racy Housewife? Repressed Librarian? Lesbian-til-Graduation?

The dolls themselves, which retail for about 25 bucks each, are high in entertainment value. The Backstage Betty comes with a guitar, Kum Inmee sports a little pink outfit and characteristic hairpin, Shanita's got her some fishnets, and Truckstop Trixxxie (if only JT LeRoy had been so believable) has a half-bathrobe and hotpants.

But, like the Lovin' Ladyboy, which is also in this series, the dolls are as cheap as the characters they represent, so don't build a shrine to them behind your elderly mom's house.
