My wife of almost 27 years passed 3 months and 3 days ago. She was my soulmate, and my whole world revolved around her. It left a hole in my life and my heart. I am sad, lost and lonely. I do have a lady friend at work I've been hanging out with some; dinner, movies, etc. She has come over to my house and made me breakfast. April 13th we are going to a Whitesnake concert, and I'm looking forward to that. We are just friends so far, we have not been intimate. I am not ready for that with another woman yet I don't think. But just the comfort of hugs and companionship is huge. I damn sure am not ready for commitment and have no intentions of getting remarried. At the same time I am a healthy 50 yr old man and I have needs. Not sure what got me looking at love dolls, but once I saw how far they've come, I was hooked. I have never seen a realistic doll in person, nor do I know anyone who has one. It's been pretty much a taboo subject like other sex toys. I started looking at them and purchased Meisa from sex doll paradise. Wow does she have some curves!

Probably 2 weeks away from receiving her, and I am very excited. I have been looking at all the members dolls on TDF, reading pros and cons of TPE vs Silicone, cheap vs more expensive dolls, care, etc. I have been amazed at how passionate many members are about their dolls. Some of the pictures are just WOW! Meisa is probably lower end, but I caught a sale and figured she would make a great first doll.

I'm still not sure how I feel about owning a sexdoll, it's not really socially acceptable. Not sure what my stepson would think for example. I guess I will wait and see how I feel once Meisa arrives. On a positive note, I did broach the subject of sexdolls with my lady friend and she is open minded. Told me go for it if that's what i wanted. Twist my arm! Haha!

Anyways, lots of great info on this site. I'm glad I found it, for starters it kept me from taking a chance buying from a questionable vendor!

Later, MRW

Hi there mrw and welcome to TDF!

Sorry to hear about your personal loss, there are many members here who can relate so know you are not alone in this type of situation. As for the company, not one I am aware of and I'm sure by now if you have been looking around you know what we say about non-approved vendors. I will say she is a Jarliet doll iirc and far too cheap and to my knowledge does not come with heating or touch sensors etc. I hope you get what you ordered.

On more positive notes, great that you have a friend at work to help you through things and also appears to be pretty open minded too! Who knows where that may lead. As a final note if I can direct you to our New Member Welcome Page and wish you a pleasant stay with us.

Regards,
Mavi

Mavi thanks for the welcome. The price was cheap for a new doll, and yes I've read over and over not to use unapproved vendors. This one is on your approved vendors list. I also hope I get what I expect from the pictures. The one option I did pay extra for was heating. From what I've seen in further time on TDF my next doll if there is one will be from BCD.

Hello MRW. Welcome to the forum. I’m sorry for your loss. You picked the right forum here. A lot of supportive people on here. I’m glad that you looked at the approved vender list before buying a new doll. Unfortunately there are some unscrupulous doll producers out there who will list a picture of a doll they supposedly sell but send you something totally different. One of the main things that I would tell a new forum member is to do research on the doll company that you plan to buy from. It can save you a lot of frustration later.
