    most sex doll owners are not sexual diviants or misogynists at all they are just lonely....truckers,widowers,socialy akward/anxious or for what ever reason they just cant seem to find "the one",many sex doll owners want a companion not JUST a sex toy, they WANT that deep connection with someone even if they have to pretend. as a doll owner myself i find the most rewarding part is just the calming effect of hugging and cuddling, it lowers my heartrate,reduces stress and helps me remain more focused threwout the day.as long as your actions do not exibit intent to harm yourself or others i would say its actually healthy not just for the mind and body but also for the soul 8D.

      You can be all those things and you're still a deviant. You get a hard on over a barely legal sex doll you're a deviant dude. Let's not deny what it is. God created us for real relationships not with plastic It's sick messed up and insane that this is even up for debate!

If so what does that make God the crater of this "companion"? Is he also a deviant?

But in North Idaho average man is 6’ 2” plus . Short man are hated my own mother hated short men , I see no harm or reason negativity for these dolls , are with you unconditionally and never have to worry losing her for going for a taller man . Been proudly with a doll at 43 now for 4 years . I no longer a bother to women anymore peace . This doll is a companion and treated with dignity and respect .

    As the mother of 4 adult sons, I believe women should perceive Lifesized fleshlights the same way they view their own dildos / torso’s. Rational human beings know these toys are sex aids, not replacements.

      @user-db7jw8rw7x My sons are sociable young adults who all have girlfriends so they probably will never be in the market for a lifesized fleshlight (unless they want to spice up a boring marriage) but I can tell you exactly why society is less sociable face to face than prior to 1995 and it’s because of a combination of the internet (the ability to socialise from home) and the equality of women. We no longer require marriage in order to be voters, credit card holders, mothers or land owners.
      We still have a ways to go until we’re completely equal with men, but that will have to involve robots taking care of the work we need to do in order to incubate, birth, breastfeed and rear our children. That work needs to be calculated on the time it takes to do it and a dollar amount paid for it.

    I think I'd like to weigh in here. I do agree with the bad sexual experiences in the past. Not in a total negative way towards myself. I have never had negative sexual experiences but the obsession has been on the woman's part. It even traveled into the crazy zone a few times and trying very hard to talk me out of using a condom.
    So I have decided to purchase one to take myself out of the dirty sex market and have clean sex when I decide to! No chance of catching anything this way and it is in my mind very safe with no pressures when I don't want sex.

    I have a 167cm Starpery (Tiffany). I seem to have a bad habit of dating bad girls, and the only girl I actually do want, doesn’t want me (it’s complicated). I’m in love with somebody else and incapable of having an honest relationship with somebody else as long as I have those feelings. So I have no desire to seek anyone out. The doll is beautiful, a good cuddle partner and isn’t crazy…
    So… yeah.

    I can not see how owing a sex doll can make you an agressive bad man. I mean to be honest. There is nothing like the real vagina. Putting your man part in to a fake rubber cave is nothing like the real thing and I do not think they will ever be able to actually simulate the actually thing. As for owners of sex dolls. I do not own one but I am someone that is not able to get out and meet woman very easy due to my work. I have been single sense college and that is going on 20 years now. Which means I have not had sex for 20 years I have tried going many dates which have not gone anywhere so I have been thinking for a long time about buying myself a sex doll for use when I need to have my sexual let out as everyone needs. I see no problem with it myself.

      I would encourage you to get one as you say nothing can compare to the real thing but having had more my share of both I can tell you that between lube,warming sticks and realistic texturing it's daaaamb close ,if it helps you blow of some stress at the end of a long day and get some oxytocin in you system then I fail to see how thats a bad thing and as for any stigma from the ladies just keep in mind it's no more unusual then any of the "power tools they keep In the nightstand.....p.s. beware of scam sites!!! Research safe and legit sites before you buy.

    So many different people have dolls nowadays that you never can pinpoint it to a specific group and therefore the findings are incomplete and wrong.
    Society and media puts a stigma on men with sex toys and encourages sex toys for women, which is discriminating men.
    With sex dolls the stigma is even worse and fueled by misinterpretations with biased studies and society becomes negatively emotional about sex dolls causing jealousy and disgust which is the main reason why doll enthusiasts are scared to talk openly about their dolls. Because people will judge them wrongly.
    The main emotion you will mosly see with doll enthusiasts is peace of mind for having a doll .
    Whats wrong with that doctor?

      @@GenZedsMother dildos and flashlights are one thing, a sex doll is a whole nother beast. I think the social stigma is somewhat justified. Finding a partner is very important to our culture. It's what allows us to produce new humans, fuel the economy, and find reasons to socialize. Someone who has a doll is probably giving up on that and people don't like seeing others go against the social norms that allow us to prosper. It makes sense if you're an older guy who's divorced or a trucker or whatever. A young guy like me having a sex doll is sad. I mean, it is what it is

      You’re missing my point….Gen Z are having less sex then Gen X had at the sage age and it’s because Gen X didn’t have access to online porn….these sex aids are designed to take men away from porn and doing something productive with their jerking off time. Practicing sex will only make men better partners for real women. It may make young guys less anxious about real sex and allow them to interact with real women without sexual frustration or angst.

    Most men respond strongly to visual sexual stimuli. In that regard men get the visuals but also the realistic feeling with sexdolls. So biologically it's normal to get turned on by (realistic-looking) sexy dolls.
