It was Wednesday 16th of July 2020 when it happened. After spending the best part of 2 years lurking around the Lovedoll website, I finally took the plunge and bought a doll. So there you go, it's done and it doesn't matter what doll I bought or how I specced it. No, the key question here is why it took all that time to make the decision to buy. So I gave it some thought, reached some conclusions and decided to share the results with you, a reader that might be stuck in the 'buy or not to buy' rut.
What about the Doll?
I recall that I decided very early on what model I wanted. That decision was easy, I remember seeing it for the first time and was sold there and then. I admit that I did look at some others from the site, but in the end, I went for the one that just felt right which is a subjective, personal decision that I cannot really explain to you. I went for a pre-specced model, where the key decisions have already been made. I like that route because if I'd gone down the Doll Builder route I would have been swapping specs from now til kingdom come.
What about Me?
I'm
in
my
mid
fifties,
I
have
my
own
business
and
I
do
alright.
I'm
told
I
look
tidy
enough
and
apparently
I'm
good
company,
but
the
problem
for
me
was
that
I
could
never
find
the
right
person.
Actually
that's
not
true,
I
found
plenty
of
people
that
were
'right'
but
it
never
worked
out.
Then
the
day
arrived
when
I
realised
that
I
was
most
likely
going
to
spend
the
rest
of
my
life
single.
That
realisation
isn't
a
long
slow
fade,
it's
more
like
a
hurdle
to
be
jumped,
at
least
it
was
for
me
and
I
almost
messed
up
because
I
started
to
see
buying
a
doll
as
being
essentially
emblematic
of
what
I
considered
a
major
failure
in
my
life.
But
ultimately,
it
is
what
it
is
and
the
choice
was
to
move
on
in
a
different
direction
or
wallow
in
a
sense
of
failure.
At
ten
to
four
yesterday
I
decided
to
move
on.
What about the Stigma?
I'm not going to lie about it. There is a stigma attached to buying a doll and to be honest, the fact that I have a doll is not going to be the subject of a pub conversation and it's not going on my LinkedIn profile either. But at same time I don't go around telling people about my collection of model cars either, it's part of my private life and so is the doll. It is wrong to let what you think other people think control your life.
What about the Supplier?
I chose Lovedoll because of the transparency, simplicity and the fact that emails are answered within hours if not the same hour. I like the ordering update system as well.
What about the Lodger?
Oh, about that. Yes, I have a lodger. Now there's a lot I can hide from the lodger, but at some point soon, 75lbs and 5ft 4 of sex doll is arriving at my flat and I'm going to struggle to explain what exactly is in the giant box at the bottom of the stairs. So I decided to tell him. It went something like this...
Me:
You're
not
going
to
believe
what
I've
done...
Lodger:
Bought
more
model
cars...
Me:
No.
I
bought
a
sex
doll.
Lodger:
You're
joking?
Was
this
when
you
was
pissed
last
night?
Me:
No.
I
was
stone
cold
sober.
Lodger:
Not
sure
how
I
feel
about
that...
Me:
Why?
Lodger:
Well
that
documentary
we
saw
a
while
back.
The
people
were
all
a
bit
weird.
Me:
Am
I
weird?
Lodger:
Well,
no.
Not
really.That's
why
I'm
not
sure
how
I
feel
about
it.
Me:
This
is
a
bit
rich
coming
from
the
guy
that
once
spent
half
hour
having
a
webchat
with
RealDoll
to
see
if
they
would
build
a
doll
that
had
blue
skin
and
a
tail.
Remember
that?
Blue
skin
and
a
tail?
So we got through that bit and chatted a bit more about the impending new arrival and it ended like this...
Me:
Glad
we
got
past
that.
Anyway
it
arrives
in
three
weeks
time.
Lodger:
Not
'It',
'She'.
'She'
arrives
in
three
weeks
time...
Love my lodger...
Is
she
going
to
be
worth
it?
I
don't
know,
but
it's
worth
a
punt.
What
I
do
know
is
that
it's
going
to
be
Two
Men
and
a
Sex
Doll
Behaving
Badly.
And
I'm
the
only
one
sleeping
with
her,
I
made
that
very
clear
and
besides
she
isn't
blue
and
doesn't
have
a
tail
so
she's
safe
from
the
lodger.
Oh, almost forgot, it's 'Jasmine' that joining us. Take a look at her profile. How could you not...?
