Photographer Robert Benson takes a us through RealDoll’s factory and gives us a brief glimpse of how these pricey, lifelike sex dolls are manufactured. If you don’t know exactly what RealDoll is—it’s 2016, of course you do—look it up.

“Everyone was super passionate about what they’re doing, and they take the work seriously,” Benson said. “I guess the fascination wears off after a week and it becomes like any other job.”

For a team of nine, it takes over 80 hours to complete one doll. 300 to 400 dolls are produced in a year.

The standard RealDoll comes in 18 female body styles and two male styles with five skin tones and 39 available faces. The standard line also includes transgender bodies with male or female anatomy.

The average price for a RealDoll is around $12,000 depending on your customization requirements and… imagination. (Things like tails and two heads cost extra)
