That’s unfortunate Zebo. As I first read through your post I was expecting it to go the other direction. I’ve revealed my secret to a few people, and most, while perhaps thinking it odd on some level to themselves, were more or less accepting of it. I do know of one person though that was so freaked out about this hobby that he constantly made mention of this “weird dude” (not me) that he knew of that had an anatomically correct sex doll. This guy had no desire to get involved in another relationship, so from then on it was casual dalliances or escorts for him, which is too costly and risky for me.Zebo wrote:Now let me tell you a story about the other side of the coin. I had a friend of 20 yrs, struggled with a bad marriage, bad relationships and just angry , depressed that he couldn't connect with an RG. He always asked me how I could be so happy all the time, when he knew I wasn't seeing anyone, nor had been for years. So I decided to show him, one day I invited him over and we usually got together a couple times a week for dinner or a movie or something. He was a good friend. I took him into the doll room and showed him my dolls. In a period of 2-3 minutes I watched his face go from fascination to arousal to embarrassment and at that point he wouldn't touch the dolls and left the room immediately. I told him that I had been using the dolls for yrs and I was very satisfied with them. He told me that I needed to talk to someone because I was loosing my grip on reality. We never talked about after that and over a 6 month period, we quit going out together and calling and talking. And now he doesn't even return my calls.
I guess my point here is be careful who you bring into your doll life......
This friend of mine, I honestly believed he was a great candidate for a doll. I never in a million years believed he would just freak out like this. You can lose friends trying to help......remember that!!
I’m happy with my choice, and the only thing that could improve things even more for me, will be the day when AI will be fully integrated into our dolls. I just hope that I’m not too old to be able to take advantage of it when that time finally does arrive
