Finally got one, but I hate it!

[icewind]

I visited a showroom seven years ago...

Now i have 49 dolls at home, i don't have to feel alone or sexual unsatisfied any longer!

My dolls are my life, sorry for your bad experience...

Spend $1k + on a heavy life sized doll just to see if you're gonna like it is not good advice to me lol.

I'm with you there. It's terrible advice, but it's also the only advice there is unfortunately. I don't have any regrets, in fact I'm glad I did it. It was bugging me that much. But now it's done and it needs to go.

I definitely relate to your story, especially with the hugging part. It's cathartic until it's not. Thanks for sharing, waiting for your post in the market.

It's always sad to see newbies have such a rough start of things when they start out this way. But honestly, it's understandable. Dolls aren't for everyone. Do what's right for your situation.



I would less outright discourage dolls completely, and more redirect other interested newbies to go for a used/secondhand doll or a torso/hip toy before going for a full doll, even if it's not to your personal favorite taste/shape. If you see a local deal on a used doll and it doesn't give you the ick, I encourage you to go for it or at least ask if you can see it in person. I feel like a lot of people will realize then and there if it's their thing or not. Being with a doll in person is not the same as seeing pictures online, and you often just don't know if it's for you or not until you have one in front of you.

Unfortunately we don't live in a day and age where you can't just ask your friend group if anybody has a love doll you can examine before deciding on buying one yourself. However, especially if local, it's a buyers market for secondhand dolls. For me it was absolutely the right decision and has bolstered my resolve to get eventually customized dolls more specific to my tastes. For somebody else, it might save them a lot of money and hassle.

Sounds like pretty much anyone thinks/feels during the honeymoon phase

Hey, you had a go and you found out dolls weren't for you, that's normal! Dolls aren't for everyone. At least you got to scratch your itch

Does that mean I need to try her out a few more times before I can really be sure?

hi icewind
thats impressive, must he a world record
Or are you a former vendor?
Saw some pictures and liked the way you keep them all around in a large loft, a lively universe

May I ask, which is your current favorite? the last arrival or is there one that stands out?

Think less of it as having to "try her out" specifically sexually, especially if you'd rather not. More like, leave her out of the box, dress her in a loose shirt or something, have her sit up, pose comfortably like she's hanging out, and just be around you while you're doing your own thing. Spend a few days just seeing how that feels for you. See if you still regret or if you get anything out of her presence on a platonic level as well. Some people primarily/exclusively enjoy their dolls for platonic company. There's more to be had with dolls than just the act of coitus.

i made my own fabric doll and it really helps as a cuddle buddy with depression, loneliness and easing the painnof constant rejection from women. i don't have sex with, there is no love hole yet, but it feel great to cuddle and just be together. frankly, long warm cuddles are better than sex and i've been single for 14 years and i'm 30 so it's her or nothing at this point. i can't work or do a lot of things due to health reasons so my world is pretty small but i do force myself to go out to socialise and stuff. it sucks you have spend 1k+ $ to find you didn't want one. If you want just to muddle, Teddy Babes deluxe exist (200$ i THINK).

TB's are $699 + $110 to ship! Least expensive fabric you can get is a Valentina Girl Travel. $179 +shipping.

Sorry to read you hate your doll. I don't know if you need more time with her, and though it seems like a good idea to do so your Initial reject is not a good sign. Good luck anyway, either selling her or trying to get along.

When I decided to enter the doll world I hard very clear in my mind I was throwing 2.000$ into the waste bin, so I decided to do so with no regrets. Luckily for me It went more than okay

First impressions are often accurate, so I won’t discount your feelings entirely.

However, a first date I once had long ago was nothing but fighting. She was attractive, but we argued long and loud over practically every topic that came up. I was never so glad when the date was over, didn’t even give her a handshake, no desire to ever see her again.

Spent the next thirty years married to her. And they were good years.

So don’t be too quick to judge, based on one experience.

[The Doll Advocate]

We were all newbies at one time. If all newbies are discouraged from buying dolls, there'd be no doll owners to give any advice.

Once again ,Mr Franz nailed it !
Dolls aren't for everyone, and that's perfectly OK.
But for those who do discover dolls and fall deeply in love with them , it's a magical journey.
Everyone gets a doll for different reasons some don't know what that reason truly means to them until they walk through the door way .
For this guy , he explored the room and wasn't blown away with what was inside .
But he has the knowledge and is that much closer to fully understanding his sexual self.
It does kinda suck it cost him so much ,
This is why I always recommend a used doll for a newbie who isn't 100% sure how they will enjoy dolls.
It's easier to go back .
But it sounds a little bit like he pushed the buy button with his little head
And horny tax can be expensive sometimes.

You are contradictory here, unless I'm missing something.

From experience, nothing is ever as it seems during the first impression/ honeymoon phase. The truth is earned through trust, which takes a long time to achieve. The real connection never starts, but in my current relationship - has started only three years in.

It might be good for the OP to not think about it and just have the doll around. Maybe he will start to enjoy it over time!

For many, the pendulum of emotions swing back and forth. It took some time for you to place your order as you went back and forth. In my humble opinion, I suggest giving it some more time as you sort out whether to keep her. There are so many aspects to weigh in on. Shame, physical desire, social acceptance, and more. How can you sort all that out quickly? Sure you spent some energy up to this point, but everything is hard until you learn it and then it becomes easy. Please remember that dolls are only getting better and better.
