If you’re like many prospective doll owners who have yet to pull the trigger on an actual purchase, you almost certainly have your reasons. And one of the most pressing may be concern over how owning and using a love doll might impact your life, especially from an emotional and psychological standpoint.
What if you like using the doll too much and it harms your ability to have a relationship with another human being? Are sex dolls potentially bad for a person’s mental health? Is sex doll addiction a thing people should worry about? Or is it something that will turn out to be positive?
The fact of the matter is, owning a sex doll will change your life, just as any other big decision about how to manage your intimate life will. But most of those ways will be overwhelmingly positive, especially when it comes to how the purchase will affect you psychologically.
1. You’ll have a safe way to address intimacy issues
Sexual and romantic relationships don’t come easily to everyone. Some people are a lot shyer or more introverted than others. Meanwhile, others may be recovering from past abuse or relationship trauma. But finding intimate connections difficult and not wanting to cultivate them at all are two different things.
A love doll can be a great way to overcome issues like these in a space that is 100 percent emotionally safe and judgment-free. Love dolls can be an amazing way to start overcoming issues like social anxiety, as well. Transgender love dolls in particular are an attractive option to many people looking to explore their own sexuality as well.
2. You might find it easier to overcome disordered behavior
If you’re one of the many millions of people who suffer from disorders and addictions like alcoholism, drug use, tobacco addiction, eating disorders, or similar afflictions, then you don’t need to be told how tough they are to overcome. Often a person can genuinely want to change and get better. However, they just can’t for reasons they truly don’t understand.
That said, there’s a reason so many people suddenly find a way over the hump after getting into a healthy relationship with someone loving and supportive. Having a satisfying, readily available sexual and romantic outlet can work wonders for someone who’s struggling to overcome addiction or any other vice in life, and a realistic silicone sex doll can actually provide that.
3. You’ll realize relationships are an option, not a necessity
Society is a lot better than it used to be about not shaming single people, whether they’re choosing to be single or not. But many people are still under immense pressure to pair off with someone as soon as possible and make lasting commitments they might not be emotionally ready for. They start seeing committed relationships as the only possible solution to any loneliness they might be feeling.
A realistic love doll can provide a lot of the companionship and sexual connection a person would normally get out of a relationship. This makes it easier to avoid simply getting into poor-quality relationships just to avoid being lonely. People start to realize that, as wonderful as relationships can be, they’re not a requirement for a happy life.
4. Your self-image will likely improve
Even those who feel relatively OK about who they are could usually stand to feel better still, and nothing gives a shy or insecure person an ego boost quite like an attractive partner. But perfect tens are pretty hard to come by, even if someone does have a lot going for them.
Realistic love dolls, on the other hand, are designed to be exceptionally sexy and attractive. And many doll owners take things a step further and have their dolls custom-built down to the last detail, as they’d like a doll that truly fits their fantasy image of an ideal partner. Just having such a doll can help a person see themselves as more desirable, sending their confidence levels through the roof.
5. Your sleep quality could improve
Millions of people struggle to get enough good-quality sleep every day for all sorts of reasons. But sleeping next to a partner can really help turn that situation around. Sleeping near a loved one can lower blood pressure, promote relaxation, and make it easier to fall into a deep sleep (and stay there).
And the great news is that many doll owners experience these benefits to the same degree they would if sleeping near a human partner. Having enough opportunity to enjoy some sexual activity before attempting to sleep can be extremely helpful in this regard, as well.
Of course, your potential relationship with your realistic love doll should be approached with balance and common sense, as it’s always possible to have too much of a good thing. But all in all, owning a doll isn’t something that will ruin your life or mess you up as a person. In fact, it could well do the opposite for reasons like the above.
