Same type of people that would have a real doll. There is a mental health crisis unfolding before us but instead of spending money to address it and help, the wrong people are exploiting it to further enrich themselves.
Anything I don't approve of is mental illness.
Breaking an egg with a fork instead of a spoon is truly a terrible mental illness.
It is computed that eleven thousand persons have at several times suffered death, rather than submit to break their eggs at the smaller end.

Damn it's funny, do you think it's still worth reading this book?
Doll fuckers downvoted lol
Bro I was so struggling to understand what type of doll they were talking about before i saw your comment. "Are we calling all children mentally ill, now?"
When life is void of dopamine, any little bit helps. Hugging a cat, complementing a coworker, or a friendly chat with a stranger.
I didnt understand having a virtual partner or a sex doll until recently. It fills a void. Even though they are fake, humans are good at role-playing and pretending that they are real. The reward for doing so is a bit of dopamine.
However, becoming reliant on these is the problem. They should be taken in small doses, to fulfill a basic need, until that need can be filled elsewhere.
A sex doll can't do anything my hand can't, plus it's expensive as fuck and then you have to clean it. And look at it when you aren't jerking off. At least your hand can be used for other things.
You do you. Some people want a physical object to fuck and thats ok too.
Sure. No kink shame. I don't like to spend time on prep or cleanup. I'm definitely not spending big on something my hand does well enough. But I can accept some people find it worth it.
It's not the fucking a thing I find weird. It's the investment in time and money. But I also find it weird (but delicious) to spend 12 hours cooking a brisket because that's a lot of fucking work for a couple of meals.
Worst case scenario, me calling something weird is a pot and kettle situation.

for real, even simple toys are so much better than your hand.
doesnt compare to the real thing but if your hand is 1 and the real thing is 10, pocket pussy is a solid 6-7.
I only have 1, its a solid 5. Mixing and matching toys, hands, etc. also keeps it interesting.
