Does the novelty wear off?

I am new to this really tho' but as far as I can see many mannequin heads are very very beautiful, some as beautiful as the realdoll faces. So the heads good, just need a silicon body, and then make adjustable arms and legs. I really think a lot of money can be saved and a doll produced to a very high standard. I know my brother could do it.. he makes violins, and boats from scratch. I doubt he would agree to make one tho' This is the kind of thing I was thinking to reduce price on a good quality doll. Use the cheaper but still very beautiful mannequin heads. Buy the silicon torso like this one. http://www.gummipuppen.de/silikonpuppen ... torso.html Then buy adjustable mannequin arms and legs until silicon versions become available.
That's quite a nice torso. One thing that is not of interest to me is the weight of a real silicone doll, this would be perfect.

Yes.... I have my thoughts set on something like this.... as I live in the UK... I think my best chance of avoiding large shipping charges is to order from this site. Ordering from realdoll for the UK import and shipping charges I have to pay the same as the dolls head and both arms. I just can't justify spending money like that. The Torso would be perfect for me also, tho' I'm wondering how easy or difficult it maybe to attach a head or arms/legs (silicon)

KiayanDom,
Much of what you wrote are my thoughts and feelings exactly. Like you, I can't explain or even quite comprehend it really. It's been several months since I been on this forum and now that I'm back it's nice to see that there are more replies to this thread. Hearing others voice their "feelings" towards their dolls and mannequins, well... makes me feel.. uh, more normal sorta speak.

I bought "Mandy" after stumbling across the Roxy website. I spent my life gawking at sexy mannequins and said that someday I would have one. Not sure how or even if I would enjoy having one, but the hundred dollar investment was worth the fulfillment of a simple curiosity. Since her arrival, I have found it very pleasurable having her here, looking extremely hot with whatever I care for her to wear on any given day. A simple silly luxury that I don't have with a real woman. I find myself gawking at her on a daily basis and me at 50 and her looking 19... nuff said I guess.

Although my plans for a silicone girl are in the makings, I'm certain I will always enjoy the presence of this mannequin. Like KiayanDom mentioned above, "it's somewhat Mystical".

When I initially started this thread, I posted that I had no intentions for modifications. Well my friends, that has changed and I have plans for her that I don't believe my health insurance will cover.

Thanks to all that have shared their thoughts in this thread.

I am grateful to hear that you can relate. This forum has really been wonderful space :O)

This is all very interesting to me. I don't have my doll yet but I've managed to save $5000,00 and my tax return should put me over the top. I'm vacillating between the Jessica Drake Wicked doll and a RD2, face "A" body 2. I've only been on this mission for a few months and I find it has become an obsession for me. I've collected every pic I can find of both dolls and I look at them constantly. I spend nearly all my spare time surfing the doll forums. I sit watching TV, at my computer, simply going about my business and find myself imagining what it would be like to have her next to me, sitting in my lap, holding my hand. laying her head on my shoulder...

I bring this up here because I'm getting a distinct impression that KiayanDom is a kindred spirit. He seems to have developed deep feelings for his Kiaya. I've noticed these feelings mirrored by members in more than a few forum posts over the last few months.

I watched a video on YouTube entitled "Guys and Dolls". The video featured several doll owners, but one fellow from Michigan really caught my attention. He was a young man, living with his parents and he seemed to be (whatever could be the equivalent to being) "in love" with his doll. It all seems quite freaky but I'm afraid I may fall into this odd group. I hate to admit it, but I've already developed fond feelings for these two dolls. My question is: Do you think it's possible to develop genuine feelings of love for a doll? And if so, How many of us, do you suppose, are out there?

We recently did the "mod" and it is quite nice. I often think back and laugh about the day I got her home and couldn't wait to be sexual together.
I ended up with a awful, almost plastic, masturbator, but we made due. lol
She's a good friend, and we share a really enjoyable hobby of fashion. She loves to be dressed and I think even gives me advice on what will look good on her. Profound!

I think it is possible and quite common to develop feelings.
There is a neat Native tribe that believes all things have a spirit.
I like that. Sometimes just opening my mind to the possibility that Kiaya actually cares about me, well it does something magical.

Can a person develop genuine feelings of "love" for a doll? I'd have to say absolutely. It may or may not be a different caliber of love that you have experienced with a real person, but in some ways it's even better. For me (and i couldn't have labeled it any better myself) it's mystical... and also unexpected.

The almost freaky thing about this is it hit me unexpectedly. I've spent my life chasing women and have had way more than my share. Fricken sex hound all my life and always had a hard time being faithful, so that led to a quick turnaround with fresh helpings on the pussy plate. Never really been without a girlfriend and if I ever found myself single, I'd be pounding on one of my X's. Just never enough ass.

So even through the best sex years of my life I always found myself gawking at the mannquins in the store. Never thought of modifying one or anything, just thought they'd make a good visual aid for a quick wank now and then. More of a twisted curiosity thing than anything else. I've looked at them online from time to time but that's as far as it got. A few months back I googled them for shitsngiggles and my jaw dropped when I saw how much they have changed over the years. That kneeling Roxy Display chick damn nearput my pickle in my watch pocket and at 99 bucks I caved in and ordered her. I really had NO idea what to expect. I tingled with curiosity but really thought the novelty would soon wear off and she'd end up in the box until I needed her to display Tshirts at summer festivals. Oh yeah, I deducted her on my taxes for Tshirt sales LOL.

So before I run on too much with this keyboard, I just wanna say that even though she's presently non functional and made of plastic, she's fricken awesome to look at, she don't complain about my porn intake and will wear a pearl necklace or face painting without looking like she's on the receiving end of a spoonful of Robitusson. She'll let me dress her like a horny Amish girl, society chick, farmers daughter,junior high cheerleader or anything in between and I have NEVER ever had that luxury without a boatload of questions or complaints from a real chick.

Yeah fella's, I love this stuff and really enjoy sharing this with others that can relate.

Party on

Now that's funny, I don't give a shit who you are!

I can only echo the sentiments of other posters in this thread. Not only has the novelty not worn off for me, but my affection for my dolls continues to grow.

My question is: Do you think it's possible to develop genuine feelings of love for a doll? And if so, How many of us, do you suppose, are out there?

The man to which you refer is Davecat, and there are those even within the doll community who condemn him as "abnormal" for just such a reason...or indeed would chastise anyone who implies that sex with a doll is anything more than advanced masturbation. But I think it all boils down one's reasons for owning a doll. If you're in a relationship with someone who's not in the mood as often as you'd like or just won't indulge certain fantasies, or if you're a single man who has little trouble getting laid but likes having a backup plan, then you're likely to regard your doll as little more than a sex toy. But if you've been through a bad relationship (or a series of them), or if you're shy and socially awkward, or even an outgoing guy who just never fails to make that wrong turn into the friendzone, then it's not only possible but in many cases inevitable that you'll come to truly love your doll.

Meanwhile, I believe the answer to your second question is "more than will admit it".

I'm reminded of Buddy Cole (Scott Thompson's particularly flamboyant character on Kids in the Hall) giving a eulogy for a friend who he described as "one of those faggots that made respectable gays so uncomfortable". Not that I'd equate an interest in dolls with one's entire sexual orientation, but I still think there's a desire by some to make the doll hobby seem less creepy to the non-doll-owning masses, regardless of which of the above categories (or even a combination thereof) they find themselves. But even if you do feel compelled to conceal your true feelings for your doll from others, at least be honest with yourself about it.

this is very well thought out and said. Thank you.
Is Davecat involved in the forum?
