Guest GingerTom Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 It's really just the high price tag that prevents me. If they were $10' date=' I'd buy ten and have a party. [/quote'] I'll agree to that. But seriously, if it was around $300 then it would make sense--but not $6000.
jdods13 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 The latest and greatest in graphics technology for personal use is at most 1 to 2 grand and the price drops quickly with time. These dolls are a luxury item and from what I can tell it's like treated like you are buying a lifetime mate that will keep on giving. I'm sure that this justifies the price tag in their eyes as they are marketing these dolls to lonely men with lots of money. Anyone with good credit can essentially get themselves a credit card and use it to buy a doll then pay it off... but who in their right mind would do that? It's one of those things that hopefully will get changed in the future by a another company. They would def sell more RealDolls if they were all $1,000.00 not including customization of course... I see these dolls plummeting in value once they finally have RealDOLLS that are fully voiced, self lubricating, and actually warm up when you touch them and gently wrap their arms and legs around you when they climax... yes I said it. Much like a hentai sex game you can find on here but a doll that actually can sense penetration and has a climax point... it'll happen trust me... Then these dolls without all those bells and whistles should DEF become much more affordable. Anyway I don't think those things are too far off to be honest but we will have to wait and see.
Guest GingerTom Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 You have to be very well off: I know in my travels I saw a picture of one man who has $185,000 aprox. worth of these dolls--a whole room full. (And, yes, he bought and paid for them all--he doesn't own the company.) The first thing you want to say is that 'it's crazy'--but then you have to stop and think that we're on LoversLab.
jdods13 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 Haha if I could convert all the time I've spent reading through LL posts I could afford that many dolls. However I don't think I would need more than just one honestly. That is just a little creepy to have that many dolls... Collector or not. But hey I don't judge just wouldn't see the value of having more than one. The line between hobby and addiction is not so fine it seems... I just hope that i'm not on a slippery slope... I already bought one... what if I end up like him?...!!! Oh LORD! Stupid penis! )B-(
Guest GingerTom Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I already bought one... I'm not saying anyone who buys one is crazy. I'd buy one. I just won't spend that much money for something that just lies there. Like a wife. (Just kidding ladies.) (They make male ones also--so ladies can have a plastic husband even better than that half alive one.)
thesapien Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 So, yeah, my new avatar is my stamp of approval. Maybe if silver doubles or triples anytime soon, I'll actually get one. Else I'll just invest in my own manufacturing of these dolls. I wonder what their profit margins are like... I know, there are guys out there who think these dolls are only for the desperately lonely or ugly men, but I really think that's entirely wrong and unfair (especially if it's true for some (how mean then to say that!)). Others of us who see ourselves as quite fit, sexy, and desirable could still have our own reasons. I for one just like to have FUN playing, like with games, without risk of pregnancy, health, hurt feelings, or even just self embarrassment, lol. I'm also in a unique phase in my life. I've had years of girlfriends and sex and drama stuff going wrong personally and am now taking a break from relationships to really work on myself in many ways. However, I also still want to work on my sexual energy. Normal masturbation comes with a lot of baggage and negative associations and really just isn't all that fun anyway. Channeling positive sexual energy and VITALITY via just stroking it is, uhm, difficult, too. And watching porn is like watching yoga. Did I say yoga? Yep, that's actually more than an analogy. But that's all I'll say for now on playful yoga sex while role-playing as a form of physical and mental therapy. And, Tom, you make marriage sound so awful, just like I imagine it to be for those married people I know!
Guest GingerTom Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 and am now taking a break from relationships And' date=' Tom, you make marriage sound so awful, just like I imagine it to be for those married people I know! [/quote'] I'm taking a break also--from three past marriages. (At least I still have my sense of humour.) My last wife still calls me (we're friends) and her advice to me was to find someone with their own place so that 'a new friend' and I would just 'visit' each other. I think she's right--but--'now taking a break from relationships'
Naynay Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I found a RealDOLL at a yard sale once 1 year ago, man wanted $2000 for it, obviously used but was in great condition, 2 yrs old, cleaned, etc. He was asking everyone to grab it's butt and breast just to see how they feel lol I guess to convince people to buy it. But yeah they dont feel like real womans breasts/ass, they still feel nice but not ass jiggly/soft as the real thing. Even if it was used I probably would've bought it for $100-$200 lol but no way are they worth $5000-$6000. I'll instantly buy if these things were able to cook and clean.

thesapien Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Definitely, I'm like that with anything that I see as expensive. It get's harder to enjoy it. Once bought an Audi A4 and was way critical of it. My favorite car ever was an old used Toyota MR2 that dripped oil. And, yeah, fake breasts just aren't quite the same, on a woman or doll. Although, there are also real breast I've, uhm, been in contract with that weren't, uhm, of my favorite design. Come to think of it, I'd say that yes there are definitely real women who will make any doll a disappointment if measure against, however, there are also plenty of real woman I'd rather not be having sex with and would quickly chose a doll instead. Ah, man, I just realized that means I should be fair in comparing myself to a super sexy male doll. Time to do some more daily exercising and get out in that sun...
Kamen Rider Kuuga Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 If it's not KOS-MOS... ... THEN IT AIN'T WORTH SHIT! OH GOD WHY
Naynay Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 If it's not KOS-MOS... ... THEN IT AIN'T WORTH SHIT! OH GOD WHY Never had the chance to play Xenosaga on ps2 ;< is the game any good? lol
Kamen Rider Kuuga Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 If you like watching a movie, it's fine. No really, I played it for about 10 hours, and 8 of that was cutscene.
jdods13 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 Lol last xeno game I played was Xenogears on the playstation 1. I loved that game...
Guest GingerTom Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Now here's a good read about the dolls (funny read, also) for example: 'It's not like having a girlfriend and it's not just a sex toy. People want to display them but it’s like having a quadriplegic who can't talk. You have to do everything for it.' http://www.vice.com/read/stuffed-toys-for-big-boys
MonkeyShoulder Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I know some people actually bought them to put them in their cars so when they went to work they could travel in car pool lanes and avoid traffic.
thesapien Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 People want to display them but it’s like having a quadriplegic who can't talk. You have to do everything for it.' Such things are game challenges. Feeling like you're stuck with a quadriplegic? Well, there's a kinky mod for that. Ever played doctor? Wheel chair, anyone? "Here, just a little prick, tell me if you feel anything..." Having some sort of handicap setup for the shower/tub could also make cleaning your doll fun. I mean, if you think playing nurse could be fun. Oh, leg braces could be so sexy!

Guest GingerTom Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I have to say... i'm pretty damn excited for that thing to get here! It's taking forever!!! I will never pay that much for one but anyone that pays $6000 for a full doll or $1000 for a torso--I say good for you. Hope you enjoy it--and I mean it.
thesapien Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I have to say... i'm pretty damn excited for that thing to get here! It's taking forever!!! I was thinking, you're getting a torso, right? Well, for the head(s), may I recommend a membership at beautifulagony, maybe just for a month to get a bunch of headshot videos at once. Then, a bit expensive but gets lots of use, maybe get a swivel arm desk mount for suspending your monitor so you can keep your monitor in different positions and even rotate it without having to hold it with your hands. You could also buy a mannequin head pretty cheap if its one of them for beauty school training, like the ones for cutting and styling hair heads even come without wigs and the hair actually internally attacked. No open, kissable mouths though and plastic instead of silicone, but some look cute and are definitely easy on the wallet being that they're for poor students going to beauty school. I just remembered. I once bought a French lolita blow up doll that had a nice mold and was made with a soft "skin". I then ordered some memory foam and stuffed it. Memory foam, so awesome. It was the best pillow.
jdods13 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 I actually decided that i'll just print out a photo of different woman and just tape if to the head. I don't plan on kissing it anyway... Just need to buy a crap ton of printer cartridges and i'll be set! Can have any woman I want at any time! ...oh lord...I think I've officially lost my mind.
