I remember when I first heard my friend was considering buying a sex doll. I was a little apprehensive. But it turns out his reasons were quite reasonable.
He has been married for ten years and his wife was out of town for four months for work, meaning he was in a very long-distance relationship. He was feeling lonely and desperate to have physical intimacy with someone. So, sex toys he decided to take the drastic step of purchasing a sex doll.
At first, I couldn’t help but wonder how it would feel to be intimate with an inanimate object. When I asked him, he told me it was, surprisingly, not at all bad. He said it was quite like having physical contact with another person, except it wasn’t as unpredictable and risky. In other words, it was a safe way for him to satisfy his need for love and intimacy.
The thought of him spending thousands of dollars to buy a sex doll didn’t sit well with me. After all, no amount of money can replace the real thing. But my friend was adamant that it was the right decision for him, especially since his wife wasn’t around.
Then I thought maybe it was a bit shallow to judge someone based on their choices in times of desperation. Perhaps, this was his way of dealing with loneliness and isolation. Besides, I was no one to make a judgement on someone else’s life choices. After all, sex dolls don’t harm anyone and no one is forcing him to use them.
Also, it’s a common misconception that people buy sex toys dolls because they are less interested in relationships. On the contrary, it’s the opposite. Those who buy sex dolls are often in the search of an authentic relationship but are just not able to have one due to various reasons such as lack of time, long-distance relationships, etc.
Moreover, my friend told me that he felt extremely satisfied after using the sex doll. The experience he had with the doll made him realize how important real and authentic relationships are. After all, nothing can replace the kindness and the pleasure of being with a real person.
Probably, this was his way of finding peace and happiness. Whether or not it’s a logical decision, he had made up his mind and nothing was going to change that. He felt relieved and content with his decision and thought he had made some progress.
