I've seen some blips on television, mostly HBO on
Real Sex about these Real dolls. I'm going to put on my pseudo psych hat for a second though and agree that there has to be some sort of a chemical imbalance to want to spend more time and be intimate with an inanimate object rather than being social with real people. Sometimes, I'm sure it's nice to be alone and have nobody talk back or tell you what to do, but then my mind goes back to Will Smith in that movie, "I am Legend" where the only social interaction he gets is talking to mannequins at the video store and how almost goes nuts because there are no other "humans" there. That shows me he was a very social person but still wanted interaction with another human. Still, to each their own.
Now, I have no problem with using a doll as a sex toy. Decades ago, Dave had a weird friend who had a cheap blowup doll ~ until he popped it. I have no idea what abuse he was putting it through, and I'm sure the guys at the tire store wondered that too when he wanted them to patch her up. And to tell the truth, I didn't even think of using the doll, if we had one, with just Dave and I and having a threesome that way. While I think it would interesting, I prefer to have something that can give me feedback. (I don't remember, do these dolls talk? moan? groan?) I'm not sure how Dave would feel about it and he's not here to ask.
Then, as Teresa mentioned, it's not like you can stuff her under your mattress or under the bed. Do you sit her in a chair in the corner and have her stare at you all the time? *shudder*
I seriously wonder if anyone answered his ad. Quite odd at best, but we all need love, huh?
