Do those sex dolls have replacement genitals or do people just pay thousands of bucks for what's essentially a throwaway item?

Realdolls have removable washable and replaceable bits. I imagine these do as well

Doesn't matter if you pay 50 or 5000 bucks. Male sex toys are suffering from wear & tear like crazy. Ask how many dildos a women managed to destroy in comparison.

I think that's just the nature of male sex toys needing to be made out of a much softer material, unfortunately.

How is that going to fix the tears? lol

I suppose there's a little tank that you can fill if you really want tears.
