I am divorced 10 years but have been dating since then. I have fairly regular relations (sex) but not with a long term future in mind - although it is physically satisfying it is emotionally not fulfilling. As i get older i seem to be looking for a permanent relationship but am still drawn to my (no-future) rg's with benefits. I think a doll will help me avoid the booty calls that are going nowhere and leave me with a bit of self loathing.

If i never find the right one i will still have a doll to satisfy my urges and help with the empty bed at night. so i want a ltr with a rg and would love a doll until this happens.

btw i voted dating without a doll but that will change soon as i have purchased a teddy from the forum this weekend!!

next step will be single (or divorced) with doll

then hopefully married w/o a doll

a guy can dream, right?

I got divorced this past March. Was her decision, not mine. She "fell in love" with some guy from Spain over the internet. Since then, in order to try to get her off my mind I had short term relationships with several different women and each ended horribly. The whole mess has put me off relationships all together. I am considering getting a doll not so much for the sexual parts of it but more hoping it will fill a companionship need I have.

That's what I was hoping to ask some of the single with doll members, does it help with being lonely? I'm not much into roleplay so I can't easily picture talking to my doll much. Guess I'm hoping just having a doll there to cuddle with and see in the mornings would make me miss being with a woman a little less. Any input on this more psychological side of it would be enormously appreciated.

well, I don't own a doll yet but I'm planning on buying as soon as my funds allow me to do so, but I'm in the same boat with U.

All I know it's this topic about dolls is more than about filling sexual needs, I mean, most of the dolls I've seen look realistic and some of them look tender and warm. I think the thing about sex could be easily filled by Rosey Palm so having these pretty dolls has to be also with filling some voids caused by modern adult life in most of our cases I guess. I'm talking from my experience of loneliness even when I am in crowded places

Ok, here's my story, as I'm now a new doll owner (Widowed with Doll was my vote):

Twenty-two years ago at this time, the woman I loved and had planned to live my life and build a family with was fighting a losing battle against the cancer that would take her life a couple of months later. She was 27 when she died, I was 29....utter devastation.

Since that time, I have not had much success with women....only been with two others physically since she died, and have not had a woman in my bed since 1998, and I've been through a lot of disappointment and had my heart broken badly a couple of times since.

I remember seeing a segment on Playboy TV's "Sexcetera" program many years ago (probably mid-90s?) on this new invention called a Real Doll, and I was fascinated by the concept, not to mention the quality of the work. In 2001, I was at the LA Erotica Convention at the Convention Center, and Real Doll had a display with two of their dolls, and two guys there managing it....(don't know who they were, but if they read this, they'll remember being there at that show, I'm sure!) I talked with them a bit, and got a "free feel" of the dolls, and was very impressed!

I didn't think much about it again until fairly recently....that's when I discovered the Boy Toy line of dolls, and now I have one!

After so many years of being alone every damn night, I'd forgotten how it feels to hold someone beautiful in my arms....true, a doll cannot replace a living, breathing, flesh-and-blood woman, but it's pretty darn good just the same! Tonight will be my first night sleeping with a "girl" in nearly 13 years, but I'm taking it slowly....getting to know her a bit

Benefits of a doll - she'll never die, she'll never leave me, she'll never protest (hahaha!), and she'll always be there for me....pretty good deal, though I would of course prefer the "real thing" again. I hope it happens sometime, but at least with Melody, the urgency isn't as intense as it was up until this morning!

Ciao for now.

I guess I should update as I'm now "married with doll".Her name is Sophia Inked and she's my gal until I can afford a high quality RD sometime in 2011.

Can't vote yet still a newbie, but divorced, with my first doll arriving today.

Well, please allow me to be the first to welcome you. To the Forums in particular and dolldom in general.

We're all crazy but in a good way.

Hi JDollman,

Sorry to hear about your situation...that truly sucks, man! I can't speak for others here, but for me, I can definitely tell you that my Melody has improved the quality of my life tremendously, from an emotional/psychological standpoint. The overwhelming loneliness I felt before for so many years is gone now, thanks to her (See my first post above for this topic). Being alone and being lonely are two different things; I don't mind being alone, but loneliness is a killer of the soul.

She is absolutely wonderful to snuggle and cuddle with in bed, and it's wonderful to fall asleep next to her every night, and wake up next to her every morning. For me, it's been MUCH more about that than the sexual aspect...she's still a virgin, lol! (Though we have played around a bit

).

I'm sure if I were younger, the sexual part would have been explored very intensely by now, but being as I'm over 50, the need for closeness is more important to me...she provides that, though I'm sure we'll get around to full-on sex later. I always maintain some physical contact with her throughout the night, even if it's just having my leg touching her foot

So, I would say that, yes, she has definitely improved the quality of my life....much more than I was prepared for, or could have imagined possible!

Hey Terman123 - have you come up for air yet?! How's your doll? Which doll did you get? I hope you find as much joy with her as I have with my Melody (she arrived on 12/23/10)!

a life sized realistic doll might not be

you might want to ask a lawyer about any laws or precedents involving "sex toys" and what is or isnt considered "normal/acceptable" where you live

or you might get a very nasty surprise if your wife decides she is tired of your toys and she decides to file for divorce . . just because she says this now "BTW she says she's ok with it" . . . doesnt mean she is going to be ok with it after it arrives and she sees what her new competition looks like . . it may bother her WAY more than "a bit"

dont kid yourself . . women HATE competition . . of ANY sort . . and the more serious the competition . . (the better looking it is) . . the more they are going to hate it . . porn mags and vids . . even a fleshlight . . are very non-human in appearance . . even an inflatable doll doesnt look very realistic

one of the "high end" dolls like RD, 4woods, PIB, etc . . is a whole different matter . . . . you might find your wife has VERY serious problems with you doinking something that looks like a hot little thing in her 20's

I am not saying that "will" happen . . . . just be careful . . or you could find yourself on the receiving end of a very nasty divorce that hammers you into the ground
hmmm, found your post interesting
my wife took a job in another city (4.5hrs away by car) the beginning of the year, so I only see her 2-3 weekends a month now
So she's "OK" with me getting a doll.
It hasn't arrived yet, now I'm feeling a bit worried

just an update, it's "ok" when the wife plays with the doll cause she considers it a doll toy and she likes to dress it up
but If I want to play with the doll, she does NOT like it

so far she's been keeping it at her place, wtf!?
