New sex doll to keep the party going

A new breed of artificial human sex companion has been unveiled that promises to take the air out of old-fashioned inflatable dolls.

My Party Doll, a southern California-based manufacturer, displayed two prototypes of their $5 000 love buddies at the 10th annual Erotica-LA Convention, which ended on Sunday.

The show drew thousands to its celebration of all things carnal in a city known as the capital of the United States sex industry.

The three-day event featured more than 300 exhibitors unveiling the latest in sex toys, paraphernalia and publications, as well as sex seminars and a chance to audition for pornographic films.

US pornographic film revenues now equal mainstream Hollywood's total box-office figures. More than 200 pornographic films are produced every week in the US, mostly in Los Angeles. About 12 000 people in California live off the pornographic film industry.

Adding to the notion that sex sells, in 1997, roughly 33 000 pornographic websites existed. Today the number has mushroomed to 500 000 and growing daily.
