I've thought a bit about it, but I've decided to wait for something more advanced. I am considering getting an onahole though.

I really want one, but until I'm living on my own it feels like it'd be a hell of a juggling act to both order one and keep one without my parents finding it. I might still try one of these days all the same. My idea is to maybe build some sort of hidden compartment somewhere, possibly behind a fake wall.
I think photo's like OPs don't help much with the "creepy" feeling people get from these. I don't know why, but a weirdly large amount of manufacturers have no idea how to photograph the things.

>>26783
>that basically look like oversized figurines.
If the photo in OP is supposed to be an example of such a doll, to me it feels more like a bad imitation of a human than an actual anime girl.

Many manufacturers make dolls with tits so large that they look outright grotesque, but there are also some who make more petite bodies and normal-sized or small breasts that appeal to me, like these:
https://www.sexdolls-shop.com/product/wmdoll-160cm-a-cup-evana/
https://siliconelovers.com/collections/starpery-silicone-sex-dolls-hybrid-love-dolls/products/starpery-169cm-elizabeth

I'm not really in the market for one right now because they're pretty expensive and still have some shortcomings, but if my financial situation continues to improve and the dolls become better, it seems inevitable that I'll buy one at some point. Maybe by that time it'll be a sex robot that can clean and dress itself.

I doubt it'll help with loneliness, but at least the sex is bound to be more fun than just fapping.

>>26784
I bought a handheld onahole once and I didn't really see the point of it.
I'm very happy that I bought an onahip, though. Actually fucking something by moving my hips is so much more satisfying than just using my hands. It's a great feeling when I edge closer to orgasm and this primal sexual aggression takes over the movements of my body, I don't even notice how I'm physically exhausting myself as I violently thrust my dick into the hole.

>>26785
I don't see how you could possibly hide a 160cm+ tall doll from your parents. If you have the money for a doll, better invest it to save up for a place of your own.

>>26787
>onahip
Those look weird to me, too small. A good onahole is also better than your hands from what I've read.

I was always interested in real dolls and I never found them particularly creepy, if something I find real humans quite more creepy.
But their price and size makes any thought about ever having one completely unrealistic. I have a similar relation with dollfie-like dolls, I really like them but they are out my reach. The kind of things I would like to have by the dozens if I was rich, so it used to make me sad to think about it. Now I don't even do that.

>>26789
>A good onahole is also better than your hands from what I've read.
Well, it does feel closer to how a real vagina feels, especially if you heat it before putting your dong inside.

>Those look weird to me, too small.
I don't care how it looks, I barely even see it when it's beneath me on the bed while I'm fucking it, I'm too busy looking at lewd pictures of Suwako Moriya on my tablet.

I never owned some sort of doll during infancy or teenage-hood nor played with such toys a whole lot. Recently, a newfound interest in BJDs made me realize that instead I did something very similar, which was creating and interacting with 3DCG characters.

As hinted at, I've been thinking about buying a BJD for a while now. I simply love the idea of being able to physically dress up and take care of a personified doll, like a close friend. Knowing my self, I'm 100.1% confident that I wouldn't cross the line between mere playing pretend/escapism and actually developing a complex, delusional relationship.

This changes for life sized sex dolls. I'm a bit scared that, should I someday purchase one, I might become too obsessed and emotionally attached to her. Worse is that I don't know if that would be a good or bad thing.

Still, I'm keen on giving it a shot.

Even the DHGate dolls are very expensive. You would need to save up, I know its an unrealistic ask but I wish you could try such an expensive thing before you buy it.

>>26798
Doll brothels are a thing in some places.
>>26783
I've got a DSDoll. Much more satisfying than an onahole since it's the full package. It's very different if you can play with some tits while you fuck/masturbate, or hold a thin waist in your hand as you thrust. Plus, you can dress it up in sexy clothes.
The wigs can be bit hard to attach properly, using condoms simplifies cleanup vastly (or a detachable hole). Aside from that, cleanup isn't hard. Hang it up in the stand, warm water gets rid of any sweat you got on it, then dry it off with a cotton cloth, let it dry completely, then powder it with baby powder. It's even erotic to follow all the curves.
Another thing you have to pay attention to is that they're heavy. Not so much in real terms (about 30kg), but that weight is very awkwardly shaped, since humans don't come with handles. I recommend some grip strength training and daily calisthenics after you order it to be prepared for usage.
As for where to buy it, I'd stick to buying from professional importers in your home country, if possible. I didn't and the Chinese factory sent documents that weren't acceptable (the complimentary clothing was listed as a value of 0, which isn't permissible), so I had a hell of a time getting it through customs, and it ended up being searched, and I had to answer some awkward questions over the phone.

Something I should also mention, since anons have mentioned obsession: Do not get one that looks like your highschool crush or something like that. Bad idea. Very bad idea.
2D waifu lookalikes might be fine, but sticking to a purely physical relationship with your doll is still safer, except constantly switching role-play scenarios. If you're giving her a personality, you're going down a dangerous path.

>>26800
>Bad idea. Very bad idea.
>If you're giving her a personality, you're going down a dangerous path.
Why? What's going to happen? Will my head explode?

>>26801
The "making her look like an erstwhile crush" thing is a bad idea because it'll get you obsessed with what-could-have-beens that are unrealistic because 3D=PD, and make you more depressed because your current life isn't what you imagine.
The latter part also goes for giving the doll a personality. It'll just remind you that you can't have your waifu, constantly. And that's assuming you don't just start associating the doll with your waifu, which is an invitation for full-on insanity.

I got a 90 cm akane on the way gonna be real interesting trying to explain what fed ex dropped off Saturday. Starting to wish I got a bigger doll looks like I'm gonna be buying baby clothes for a doll I wanna bang which is pretty fucked.

>>27018
so, how's your Akane?

>Does cuddling with them or just having them around help dispel loneliness?
How is this different than cuddling with a massive fleshlight tho

>>27239
Arms. Legs. General, human shape.

>>27239
I want to be able to hug my doll, or use its lap as a pillow.

>>27239
how is watching anime different than looking at TV static tho

why do kids prefer fluffy plush animals over loose chunks of cotton and polyester tho

>>26798
>I wish you could try such an expensive thing before you buy it.
In Japan you can rent dolls, starting from $130 per night:
https://happiness-doll.info/category19%E6%96%99%E9%87%91%E3%81%AE%E3%81%94%E6%A1%88%E5%86%85/

>>27252
That raises oh so many questions...

>>27252
give it a few years and they'll be standard equipment in gyms and spas in non-feminist countries.

Is there any truth to rumors I've heard that customs might intercept these and get your ass into trouble if they deem the doll "looks" too young?

>>27256
Assuming you're American? If so I can't say I've heard of anything happening
If you're British / Australian / Canadian or some other place though it's probably a very bad idea

>>27256
Anyone who followed a couple of cases relating to free speech and expression in Canada knows that the Canadian justice system is about what you'd expect from a banana republic, except that only the super rich billionaires get to bribe their way out of it, so good luck battling this shit in court if the judge wants you in the slammer.

>>27258
Reading that it sounds like the people he bought those from are retarded cunts for labeling the products the way they did. What ever happened to just calling everyone 18?
It also sounds like he ordered too much at the same time. He couldn't just buy one at a time?

>>27256
I thinks they are exaggerated but you should get yourself a competent lawyer anyway.

I really want to (need to) buy one, but I also don't want to end up like >>27258

>>27252
Mathilda is so beautiful.

>>27258
Makes me wonder how it would've turned out if I had been the one receiving the package. I usually don't open any packages until I'm home, and I immediately discard the packaging. But when it's a masturbation I ordered, I tend to also immediately use it once right after opening the box, so that could've made for some extra awkward moments if the police decided to kick down my door...

>>27259
>the people he bought those from are retarded cunts for labeling the products the way they did.
From what it says in the documents it seems they were simply shipped in the boxes supplied by the manufacturers, which are obviously not problematic in Japan. If he was using some kind of proxy service, he should've instructed them to remove the packaging.
>What ever happened to just calling everyone 18?
Doesn't matter even when it's 3D porn with an actress who is verifiably over 18, because truth is no defense in Canada.
>It also sounds like he ordered too much at the same time. He couldn't just buy one at a time?
Ever ordered anything from Japan? You pay shipping costs out the ass, so we buy everything in bulk using as few shipments as possible, whether it's toys, manga, figs, whatever.

>>27263
I've done the bulk thing too, but these dolls are huge, and knowing customs might not like them, why draw extra attention to yourself with not one but three heavy human sized boxes?

>>27264
>these dolls are huge
it wasn't about dolls, he ordered 3 onaholes and they took issue with the cover art. See https://www.otonajp.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=cocolo

>>27265
Jesus...

>>27261
you could get one that looks like a mature woman with big tiddies. I don't think something like this would trigger even the Canadian authorities:
https://www.myrobotdoll.com/collections/starpery-sex-dolls/products/sex-doll-mira-starpery-165cm-v2

>>27267
I don't live in Canada though (US). Also, DFC4life

>>27268
if you live in the US, I don't think you'll run into problems, with the possible exception of 3 or 4 states.

>>27278
I could probably guess which states, but which are those anyway if you don't mind my asking?

>>27281
I believe that I dimly remember there being issues with Hawaii, Utah, and one or two states in the South, but don't quote me on this during your trial.
You could check if it says anything here:
https://coom.tech/index.php?title=Toys#The_Toucan.27s_Guide_to_Onaholes

If you want to be 100% sure that what you buy is legal to own, you can limit yourself to buying from US-based vendors like ToyDemon and RealDoll.

>>27238
pretty good wish i bought one a one of these dolls a long time ago. biggest issue is the neck bolt is pile of shit and already had to buy a second one cause the first one stripped already. Only other issue I have is keeping the wig on when I'm banging her
>>27261
just buy one from a shop that already has the doll stocked so you dont have to go through customs.

>>27336
the wire hands are super fragile as well really wish they were made of something sturdier only matter of time until i break the fingers.

>>27268
use https://thedollchannel.com/instock-dolls/ to get one shipped from within the US, customs does not inspect domestic packages.

>>27375
Thanks for the link. I might end up buying from them. I'd really like to get one of those Aotume dolls. some of them look derpy but a few are cute. everything else is 23dpd4me

>>27378
if you want to maximize 2D-ness and prefer DFC anyway, then maybe a fabric doll is a better fit for you than silicone/TPE.

This is one from Happiness Doll (幸福人形)

>>27405
I much prefer this over the other 3D-esque one posted earlier in the thread.

>>27406
I think they look cute, but I imagine cleaning lube, sweat and semen out of a fabric doll after you had sex with it wouldn't be fun.

If I were just looking for something to cuddle with or to dress up, play with and decorate my apartment (i.e. an ersatz daughter instead of sex object), I'd probably get one.

>>27407
Why couldn't you have the same design but made with silicone?

>>27405
Her ZR is amazing. Thanks for posting.

>>27405
I've noticed fabric dolls are sometimes cheaper, but like >>27407 said, they seem harder to clean. Even if you aren't doing lewd things, I imagine they'd stain and get dirty easily the way a daki might. Also, The fingers are ugly on a lot of these, and the faces look weird. I'm reminded of a few old figma figures I used to own with blank faces, which you could apply face decals to. They didn't look nearly as good as the molded faces the figures came with. I think the ideal doll would be something that looks like a 1/1 BJD http://tohno-chan.com/fig/res/146.html

>>26783
when you look at the thumbnail, the legs are kind of sexy bit when you open the pic, it's kind of ugly

>>27430
>the ideal doll would be something that looks like a 1/1 BJD
not a big fan of the doll joints

>>27407
>>27405
The lack of a nose looks really weird on these. They should at least have a bump or something.

>>27444
they do have a bump, look closer

>>27448
It's a little too subtle.

>>27407
I think if you leave them clothed the whole time they shouldn't get too dirty

>>27533
What about staining from the cloths?

>>27533
It'd be great if you could somehow remove the outermost cloth layer on the face for washing, since that's the only part that's not covered. Maybe the seam could be halfway down in the torso or something to make it invisible. Or I still maintain that having this same design with a silicone mold would be the best of both worlds, but maybe there's some technical reason why that's infeasible.

>>27537
you don't see it because of the clothes on top of it

>>27533
The nose(or lack there of) looks weird, but god damn I still want one bad.

:3

I'm I would be in trouble with the customs if ever try buy it.

>>28308
what country are you from?

>>28309
Some third world hellhole from South America.
I rather not say which country since I suffer extreme prejudice around the internet because I was unlucky enough of born in a country where people are extroverted, noisy and with zero sense of personal space.

>>28314
Brazil mentioned.

I've been thinking of going for it and buying one, and after thinking it over a lot and for a long time I thought I finally figured out which one I wanted to get. I was going to go with a Silicone 145B, but then I read on one site that these dolls have inhuman proportions and need custom made clothing??
I primarily want one as a dressup fashion doll, so hearing this is very concerning. Is there any truth to this? Are they unrealistic because it's a hard to achieve figure, or is it actually impossible? Do these measurements look wrong for a human?

>>28398
After trying to do a little research, I found that the proportions for the anime style life size dolls I was considering getting are kinda screwy. I like the style of Aotume dolls, but according to the numbers even their 155cm doll has proportions that make it smaller than even the smallest size for most women's clothing. I wouldn't want all the cloths I get it to look baggy and oversized. Alternatively there's getting custom made cloths, but while that might be an option for cosplay outfits it wouldn't really work for more normal looking clothing. I don't know why they don't have an option for a more average/standard body type. Even by Asian standards the sizes are small. I don't get how their smallest dolls and their biggest dolls have the same foot size, or how a C cup can have a 66cm bust and then a XXS size dress would have a bust of 77cm.
I've heard women have a lot of trouble making sense of sizes and finding cloths that fit, I wonder if this is but a taste of that.

>>27018
I thought there might be an opportunity with a smaller doll for cute outfits but when looking up clothing that might fit a a doll like that, the whole thing felt creepy and made me uncomfortable. this was for a 130cm. I wouldn't even consider going bellow 100cm anyway, might be easier to move around and pack up but for me that's a big nope.

Aotume look really nice, and I'm so tempted to get one, but I can't get over the proportions being so weird. normal cloths just won't fit them it seems.
I guess they do this so it looks more in line with an anime character?
Just look how big and baggy these cloths are.

>>28449
I'm also interested in getting one. From what I can tell, you can put the head on another body, if you don't like the ones they have. I don't know for certain though, as I don't have any experience with this myself.
I think a big thing is, they're pretty small going by listed measurements.

>>28450
Different heads from the same maker seem to be perfectly interchangeable, but from one brand to another I can't say for sure. From what I can tell, I 'think' most of not all major brands use the same size connectors for heads, but I could be wrong. You'd need to keep different skin tones in mind anyway, they might not match.
I've considered the idea of getting a 2D style head to match with a body that might have more realistic proportions, which would need to be from different brands because it seems like the brands that do 2D heads also do funky body types. But trying to use parts from different brands together might not match well.

Like you said, I don't get why they're all so small. Even the ones with D cups that are meant to be fully grown adults don't tend to be over 155 cm.
These dolls all look bigger than they really are. It's like you'd need to buy kids cloths even for the 'adult' dolls, but would those even fit with the proportions that they have? Kids cloths wouldn't be made with huge chests in mind right? The whole thing seems weird.
I don't know if I want to take a random chance and drop $3000 to find out.

Then again, looking at this, seems like buyers aren't having much trouble.

There's this Facebook page that does cloth anime dolls, and I enjoy seeing what they have pop up. I just feel like they're too impractical and not really in the realm of possibility for me. Sometimes I look up anime robots. I also found a gal on Reddit who does 3D printed BJDs. I'm not interested in sex dolls though I wanted to buy an anime sex doll head once just because.

moshi moshi

I absolutely adore dolls, but never owned one. It kinda feels lilke a point of no return for someone who always struggled with people. I just know it would alleviate my loneliness, but I would also treat her like a real being. That can't be healthy in the long run.

Some of the cool pages I follow:
https://x.com/SHEDOLL7 <- my favorite brand
https://x.com/mozudoll <- second favorite
https://x.com/Lenglengdaze <- big titty girl and her aotume dolls

>>27239
life sized doll fool your lizard brain

https://www.youtube.com/@PPCANIMEDOLLStudio-vh2gp/videos

I stumbled across a channel that does reviews and stuff of Aotume dolls.
Most of these dolls look terrible, particularly the ones with silly expressions or opened mouths.

>>29592
Hm something about the relative proportions on the face seems wrong. I still think the cloth dolls further upthread look the best, I wish they were available in a silicone version.

Saw this one and decided to go forward with buying one. I remembered seeing someone here was able to get a custom doll, so I messaged a seller asking if it wouldn't be possible to make a few changes so the proportions would be a little more realistic (for normal cloths). To no surprise they gave me a big nope and told me to just buy kids cloths for the thing. This is with the 155 version, the largest one Aotume makes.

Is it really so weird to want an anime style doll I can dress up in standard sized outfits without them looking five sizes too large?

>>29728
That looks lovely

>>29729
Product page if you're interested.
http://www.aotume.com/page7.html?product_id=1945

>>29728
I also bought one recently, maybe a week or two ago. I got their Patchouli doll, though I heavily considered the incredibly smug Remilia. The Patche looks really nice and cute in the images however. I'm super excited for it. I told my mom about it too, just to get it out of the way. She says it sounds neat and she wants to see it when it gets here.
I thought about the small body issue as well. I believe the heads have a fairly standard neck fastener, though I'm far from an expert. You might be able to find a bigger body that'd fit if you have the money. Thankfully, the company I ordered through has the option to add a tailored costume with the doll, so she'll have that at least.

Product page here: http://www.aotume.com/page7.html?product_id=1911

>>29731
>You might be able to find a bigger body that'd fit
Yeah now I'm thinking of maybe trying to get an aotume head with the body from some other brand.
I've seen the option for custom made cloths but I don't like the idea of doing that for all the cloths I'd get (which would be a lot).
another thing I'm being told from talks with a sales rep is that these can't stand for long, even with the bolted feet option, and even with that there's a chance the skin will rip with time around the holes they make? I thought it'd be nice to display one like a large figure, but I guess you pretty much have to constantly keep them in a sitting or laying position?

>>29732
>another thing I'm being told from talks with a sales rep is that these can't stand for long
I hear that too from the bit of research I've done. Thankfully, I don't expect mine to stand much if ever, but they make stands and the like for dolls so that the feet and legs don't actually have to support the weight. I don't know the details and they might be ugly and expensive, but they exist.

>>29731
>I told my mom about it
I'm impressed that your mother is cool with it. Mine is still delusional about me having kids in the future.

>>29737
Not that tohno, but mine still keeps telling me to ganbarimasu and find a 3DPD. It sounds so silly I barely keep from laughing. I imagine she would be mind wrecked if she were allowed to experience just how much disgust and hate I feel towards other people. How can I fucking want to find a fiancee when whenever I imagine what interaction with real world girls is like, I want to puke? I am a freak of nature, divergent and unsuitable for what life requires of me. Yeah delusional parents are a pain especially when you're retarded and have to live with them.

>>29737
I didn't expect it really, but I also didn't want to jump through hoops to hide it. Then again, I'm pretty open about most of my interests. There is some stuff I'm still not going to bring up though.
I feel very lucky that my family isn't made up of otakuphobes.
>Mine is still delusional about me having kids in the future.
It has only really come up once when she was really drunk, where she accused me of hating women. I responded with something along the lines of "I guess?". This isn't really true. My issue lies with personal relationships in general, even if it's just being buddies with some other dude. I don't care what she thinks, as long as she isn't expecting something that isn't going to happen.

>>29739
>I also didn't want to jump through hoops to hide it.
That's what I'd be doing, and it's the only reason I haven't bought one yet (though I did do the checkout and almost hit the buy button).
I'm not sure if I care as much anymore though. It'll be a decade or more till I'm free from her and I don't want to wait that long.
