I don't see how it's wholesome to love an inanimate object like a Human.
That's not what I said either.
But if one would feel some kind of love for a doll, or something else for that matter, let them love it?
The phenomenon of people loving objects is far from new; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_sexuality.
I see it as something that can be comforting in a harsch cold world, especially for people struggling with loneliness, but it should never be something to replace humans with, as we all need true connection.
HP Hoodedcobra once said dolls could be "psychologically damaging" while I would say the opposite of that.
I do however think it's kind of strange wanting to marry a doll (it does not own anything legally etc.).
Quote from The Doll Forum:
Self delusion? Yeah probably, but why does that have to be a bad thing? There's consequences to everything we do in life. Ever wonder about the ramifications of not owning a doll and living life lonely and bitter? Why that could lead to lashing out at others on public forums, criticizing their way of life and the things they hold dear. Just saying...
If dolls is such as stupid thing, then I wonder why that forum has Mensa members.
Now, this is just my point of view, which I'm not forcing on to anyone.
I wish OP all the best and hope he will one day find a real woman to marry, instead of a doll.
That way he could have the best of both worlds; someone to both kiss, hug and talk to; share himself truly with spiritually.
There is no doubt in my mind that this would be more developing and comforting than a doll.
It's not exactly easy to find this in this world though as it is today.
Some less clever people at TDF are saying "the best women today are made in China".
The only problem with that argument is that those are not women, but dolls.
Nothing wrong with dolls. But one needs to be grounded in reality, which I think I am more than those people saying such more or less retarded things.
