Newbie horror story: A guy ruined his doll using coconut oil as lube. Don’t be that guy.

Let’s be real—this isn’t about replacing humans. A Kyoto therapist shared: “80% of my clients use dolls to rebuild confidence before dating.”

But watch out for:

​ – Some EU countries ban ultra-realistic mini dolls

Personal Take: Why I Bought One for Research

As a skeptic-turned-owner of a 45cm “Sakura” doll, here’s my raw verdict:

​​The Good​​

Surprisingly therapeutic for anxiety Made me appreciate human flaws

​​The Bad​​

Storage paranoia (my mom almost found it) Judgment from “woke” friends

​​The Ugly Truth​

​

We’re all lonely sometimes. If a $200 silicone friend helps you sleep better? Hell, that’s cheaper than therapy.

“Modern problems require modern solutions—even if they’re blush-worthy.” – Every Japanese mini doll owner ever.
