It's been driving me crazy and over the years I've been slowly approaching "giving up" and just getting a doll.
My view towards this is how is a sex doll anymore creepy and/or sad/desperate than having multiple sexual partners and potentially STDs etc.
It just really bugs me because at the end if the day I don't want a doll, I want a partner, a wife. Just feels like no one wants to settle down and fall in love anymore. Hence why I feel as if I'm "giving up".
I already have a tantaly torso, but I'm wanting to be able to do more.
Any thoughts are much appreciated because I don't want to invest 1300 dollars and regret it
First, Welcome Subaru Foz... And second, you came to TDF for the same reason I did, information and advice. After reading through this thread I can say you're getting some great advice and opinions from the contributing members! Just thought I'd share a few thoughts to try to help you out too, some of these thoughts are just expansions of what others have already said... Three thoughts and a share for you that I hope will help you in your decision:
1. Dating/Partner: If a relationship is what you truly want, don't give up! If you decide to get a doll, that is a supplement for what you really want. If you love to run, but you can't run outside because its raining, you use a treadmill. It's not the same, but it works for the situation. Your doll can be the same thing, keeps you in shape for the real thing, if it happens. A loving, satisfying relationship is not a guarantee in life, but you will never find it if you give up completely. And as a previous member said, it may help your search since you won't be as desperate because you are getting some of that fulfillment at home. For some, a doll fulfills the relationship need, and that's a great thing too! We all have different needs, so we all have to find a path to happiness that works for us individually. But you wont know any of these things if you don't try.
2. Money/Regret: If money is an issue, don't do it. If you spend the money, consider it gone, just like you would with dating. That being said, you'd easily spend $2000 on 10 to 20 dates, $2000 on 2 to 7 escorts (depending on the rate
), or 200 cups of coffee at Starbucks! Or you can think of it as a $2000 vacation... it may have been the best vacation ever, or it could have been the worst. Either way, the money is spent and you've learned from the experience. You're investing in your happiness and mental health. Don't be angry or upset about it like some of the dissatisfied newbie posts I've seen on TDF...make a choice, be satisfied with your choice, and move on if it doesn't work out. You've already got a torso, so you're not completely new to the doll world. Between that and member's advice and opinions, I'm sure you'll make the decision that's right for you.
3. Hiding/Storing/Explaining your doll: LOVED the wife's "dead hooker" delivery guy comment! EPIC!
I'm guessing you're in the US, which is a horrible place for sexual acceptance. I completely agree that a doll is medically safer than sleeping around, and a woman should see as doll as a good thing. In my opinion, someone who has a doll should be more attentive and caring to a real woman. We care for our dolls with love and affection when cleaning them, buying them clothes, making sure their hair is perfect, etc. If you do end up dating and need to hide your doll, many people will rent a storage unit. Or, just go with honesty. Though it may be rare, there are women with great communication and critical thinking skills that will understand the positives of having a sex doll as a supplement, you might even be able to use my "treadmill" analogy!
Here's the "Share" portion... your post, and others like it, from people wondering "should I" inspired me to create a thread about my journey. I invite you to check it out...

Good luck on your journey, and I hope you find the path that's right for you!
