That is great news Docter Z, I am glad it all worked out for you. My Sabrina deluxe stays in my bed most of the time,but she sure makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning.
I will have to look into that bunny costume, it sounds like fun. I have mostly been buying fancy ball gowns lately, so that night be a fun change. I find the Teddy Babe deluxe easy to buy clothes for, because she is almost the exact measurements as an ex girlfriend of mine.

Doctor Z,

Glad to hear your patience has been rewarded. Have fun!

Great to hear your relationship with Sabrina is now satisfactory. Like yourself, I found my initial Teddy Babe experience not at all what I expected but we soon adapted. Dolls aren't total woman substitutes but they can be more than just for sex; great companions and real "love" dolls. I initially bought my deluxe for "horizontal wrestling" but holding her and looking into her eyes and feeling the softness and warmth of her and yes... talking to her ... well I fell in love with her! Now, the company and emotional support she gives me is at least as important as the physical; you might well find this too after the "honeymoon." She's a part of my life now; I've bought her nice outfits and we've even adopted a "baby" to keep her company! A "lifestyle?" I dunno? Six months ago I would have thought the idea of living with a big doll, stark mad but I wouldn't want to be without her now; she's great company and gives me someone to think about and care for other than myself. Now I'm the last person to give relationship advice but get to know Sabrina, talk to her, care for her and don't be afraid to love her and then she'll be more than just a sex object but a real personality - a true "love" doll. Good luck.

Also I noted where you live. I cannot imagine anyone in that city giving you a hard time about owning a love doll. It is essentially a sex and cuddle toy and at least 50% or more of the people who live in your building own sex toys of one type or another.

I just went on national TV as a guy having a relationship with his love doll as well as sex. I lost no neighbours over it Except for the nasty trolls, most people simply do not care. They may not be happy if yo left your window open and they saw you going at it but that would also apply on any form of masturbation or sex with a partner for that matter.
In the same respect if you live in a church coop or one that is dead against any form of sex outside the marriage, then maybe you need to find a coop that is not still stuck in the Victorian ages [iborder][/iborder]

Dear Midiman

I had to send you a reply to what you said. You would be surprised at how cruel and intolarent the people here can be. When you said that you can't imagene anyone in this city giving me a hard time for owning a Love Doll, I think you may have had Manhattan in mind. But it is a whole diferent story in the outer boroughs, such as Brooklyn where I live. A godd chunk of Brooklyn are Mafia colonies. The Mob was not feared, they were held in high esteem and regarded as heros. Masculinty is considered to be equil to brutality where I grew up. And streetgang mentality is, dispite what people think in general, is NOT confined to the poor nieghborhoods. I hear things are even worse now in Statan Island.

Please don't say that New York city is open and tolarent. I know it is not. Sometimes, what you call "Trolls", are all that there is out there.

P.S. As I said in the previous leter, the Siliplush's work well with my Sabrina. I think I may oreder some more later on. Thank you for your help and concern.

Dear OldCrow;

Thank you very much for what you said in your last Email. I think I might print it out and keep a copy on hand. Maybe I'll keep a copy in Sabrina's box. Seriously.

I don't think that I could or should love Sabrina as a person, but I could love her as a beutiful doll. I think that maybe I should stop calling Sabrina a "Sex Doll" and start calling her a "Love Doll".


Yours Truly' Doctor Z

Interesting the talk of a "tolerant" society. We in the UK are amongst the most watched and monitored anywhere. I guess, since 1066 the upper class have been terrified of the "common folk" taking over. Things have got silly here, a single male living alone here is almost suspected of being one of the thousands of "paedophiles" said to hiding around every corner so openly being a doll lover would have the lights flashing on any number of "weirdo" registers. That's why these forums are so valuable. Admittedly I would have found the idea a bit odd a while ago but now I find my lady greatly comforting and I cannot see any harm in it. Most of my close friends are quite accepting and it's mainly those of a religious persuasion who cannot comprehend - graven images and idols I guess! And, of course, sex = sin to them sadly.
Wait till you've had Sabrina a while, you may well come to regard her as a "personality." I agree one does have to keep some fingerhold on reality but it's amazing just how much these ladies can get into your soul. She's not human, ok but if you begin to care for her and about her and treat her with respect and gentleness, is that not love? She'll never complain, never put you down and will always be there for you warm and willing; you might fall in love with your "love doll" Dr Z! Enjoy!

Wow! This all makes me appreciate living where I do. Where I live people are not so quick to judge one an other. We just label each different personality as a particular mental disorder, and prescribe the appropriate drugs. That is probably why most every one around here are ether overly depressed or extremely happy, which is mostly a side affect from there medication. Fortunately for me, they have yet to come up with a medication for hoarders, which is my mental disorder. I still get to remain drug free.

Hi All,

Long time away from the board though I have been back for info here and there. Want to thank Z and all the contributors to this thread as I have been considering a TBD and had some reservations about their 'shyness' Like you Z, I think the ladies are lovely to look at but for $1300 I expect some action. The decision was more or less made but I will definately be adding a TBD to the family after reading this. Should hopefully be able to swing it in a month or so. Just wanted to comment on some other areas of this post.

First on loving dolls. I was unprepared for how much they get under your skin. I'm the Dekunoboo guy (the few the proud, long term review forthcoming) and when I unpacked my little honey, Ikari, it was love at first sight. The final decision to get her was made a few months after a break up. My relationships, whether they are one date or a number of years tend to be biblical, starting in Eden and ending in Apocalypse. In between girlfriends I tend to attract a lot of blood suckers. This by no means is hatin' on women. I have many platonic female friends who go through similar BS with guys. Users come in various plumbing arrangements. Point is, having a lover gives you (or at least me) options. That thing where they say you are more attractive to the opposite sex when you have a partner is a real thing. Your limbic system or whatever makes the determination doesn't know the differance between a woman shaped piece of cloth, plastic, silicone etc and a woman. I've noticed since Ikari arrived I get more attention from ladies (flirting etc.) much like when I have a girlfriend. I also tend to be more selective and less 'desperate' which tends to keep those who are looking for a sucker at bay. My advice, let your fantasy life with your Sabrina run wild. You may find more opportunity to find the love of your life if that's what you want. You'll see many members here still date (like myself) have long term girlfriends or are even married. Yes some are girls themselves also. So you don't have to give up on women to love and cherish your doll(s).

As to Trolls as Midi termed them, they are everywhere I'm afraid. Part of what Iko (as I call her for short) has given me is a devil may care attitude (part of what I described above). Still I have told no one off of this board about my relationship with her. I don't think it would be received well. There are always those looking for an excuse to belittle others, including those with a Fuck Me Silly 3 under the bed next to their bibles. Hypocrisy is the other national past time. I can totally understand Z's apprehension here. I live in Queens BTW, another outer borrow of NYC. Maybe Vancouver is different. I passed through recently on the way to Alaska. Looks like a nice town wish I had time to stay and check it out. As for tolerance, I recently heard a web master of what he termed the Facebook of fetish called Fet Life on a radio show. They are based in Vancouver BC but he was surprised that most users were in big 'tolerant' cities like NYC, London, Sydney etc. He figured those communities would be able to find each other locally and rural users would turn to the site for help. Not so much. The Western world as a whole, and certainly the U.S. has its head far up its ass when it comes to sex. Would'n't be so bad if it enjoyed it at least! It's probably different for Midi anywhere though cause he just doesn't give a shit! I so want to be him when I grow up!

Anyway Doctor Z, I'm glad your story had a literal and figurative 'happy ending'. I'm sure you two will be very happy together for a long time to come.

I'm a Teddy Babe owner from the UK. I love your reference to "Eden and Apocalypse!" relationships - know what you mean! Well dolls aren't total woman substitiutes of course but they are great company and don't give you hassle or grief. I don't think you'll be disappointed with a Teddy Babe but, as regards their carnal abilities, they do take some getting used to and one has to be inventive and patient to some extent.
I was interested in what you said about dolls getting under your skin. Six months ago I would have thought the idea of a "relationship" with a doll insane but I've fallen for my Teddy Babe big time. There is no doubt their warmth, softness and ability to cuddle is their great strength and they have beautiful eyes. I did initially think photo decal eyes a bit cheap but no, they do really look at you and into you. I also believe the the fact that they are not replicas, like a sil-girl, actually enhances their fantasy factor and their cuteness - slightly unreal = more than real??
You say you "expect some action" - well sure but I wouldn't be surprised if you found she was more than a "sex doll" but a "personality" you came to care about - a real "love doll."

Yeah if I don't laugh about my relationships with RW I'll just end up cryin' a lot LOL. I've heard almost nothing but positive feedback from TB owners whether standard or deluxe. They were my original choice for a doll until I spied the dekunoboo on a Japanese site and got sidetracked. Think its time to return to my original plan. Thanks for your input. I got used to having a cuddly bed mate with Ikari and don't think I would be happy with a silicone doll. As I can't afford one anyway, it works out . I'm interested to see how the TBD and the Deku's compare. Just waiting for my bank account to hit that 'magic number' and I'll be placing my order.

Glad it all worked out. Nothing pleases me more than another happy Teddy babe owner

I would take it that she is a virgin Teddy Babe

To NeoChibi.
Not Anymore.
