If you’re struggling with temporary or chronic mental health issues like depression or anxiety, then you already know how they affect your entire life. Depression is so much more than just being a little bummed, and anxiety isn’t the same as the fleeting nervousness you might feel before an important event. Such issues may have underlying real-world reasons, or they may be chemical, but neither scenario makes a person’s struggles any less valid.
Even so, there’s a lot you can do to manage your conditions and help make life feel more livable. Of course, keeping up with your doctor visits and taking any prescribed medications as directed is the most important. But it’s also essential to take care of yourself, and addressing potential feelings of loneliness can help.
That’s where a sex doll potentially comes in. But is a sex doll truly the right fit for you and your situation? Here’s a look at some of the ways sex dolls help people better manage their mental health and keep feelings of loneliness at bay.
Sex dolls give you a safe, accessible sexual outlet.
If someone’s basic human needs aren’t adequately taken care of, it naturally affects their overall sense of contentment and wellbeing. But while food and shelter definitely count as essential needs, they’re not the entire picture. For example, humans have sexual needs, and it can be challenging to feel happy and fulfilled unless those are also met.
While there’s certainly nothing wrong with a bit of old-fashioned self-service, a sex doll provides a unique experience that’s closer to interacting with a human partner. But unlike a human partner, a doll is perpetually available whenever and however you want her to be. She’ll never turn you down for sex or make you feel judged for the things that turn you on. She’s also incapable of becoming unexpectedly pregnant or passing on an STI.
Easy, unlimited access to a satisfying sexual outlet makes it easier to stay sexually fulfilled, which in turn helps your mental health. And a doll allows you to do this without having to make room for a human emotional commitment you might not want or be ready for.
Sex dolls provide some companionship, as well.
If you’re new to the world of sex dolls, you might assume the average doll owner only think of their doll when they’re in the mood for a quick and dirty sexual release, but nothing could be further from the truth. Many doll owners bond with their dolls on a much deeper level and find they also enjoy spending time with them outside of a sexual context.
For instance, many doll owners find they love the experience of cuddling with their dolls after sex, at night, or sometimes just in general. Many more also like watching television with their dolls or talking to them. And if you happen to have a robotic sex doll equipped with an AI system and a voice box, she’ll even be able to respond to you.
In other words, there’s more to buying and owning a doll than an upgraded solo sex life. Your doll will likely help you feel less lonely and make it easier to manage your mental health by providing a form of companionship you may be missing. After all, your doll is always there for you. She’ll never be too busy for you, fail to listen, or respond to your concerns with insensitivity. Instead, she’s simply present in whatever way you need her to be, no questions asked, and no strings attached. That can be a tremendous help if you struggle with depression, anxiety, or anything similar.
But is a doll right for you?
If you’re apprehensive about the idea of buying a sex doll, it’s understandable. Buying a doll isn’t quite the same thing as buying a pocket pussy and a bottle of lube to pep up your self-service sessions a little. A doll represents an investment in your sex life and yourself. She may become a significant part of your routine, and it’s normal to wonder whether you’re ready for that.
However, the mere fact that you’re even considering a doll in the first place is a sign that doll ownership potentially holds some benefit for you. And not only can a doll relieve feelings of loneliness or depression right now, but she only has to replace a traditional relationship altogether if you want her to. Many people love their dolls for what they are but also find interacting with a doll helps them better prepare for their next human relationship.
The decision to get a sex doll is a very personal one, so there’s no one answer that’s the right one for everyone. But if you like the idea of having a doll of your own and feel she could add something to your life, why not take the plunge? You might be glad you did.
