Would You Know This Was A Sex Doll If We Didn’t Tell You?

An exhibition of love dolls shows just how far they've come in looking real.

Sex dolls have definitely come a long way, baby.

Once they were flat-faced blow-up dolls better suited as flotation devices in wading pools.

Now high end versions can sell for nearly $10,000 and look incredibly lifelike, as a new exhibit at a Tokyo art gallery demonstrates.
