My Final Take
Look, I was skeptical too—until I interviewed a war vet who credits his butterfly doll with keeping night terrors at bay. These aren’t your uncle’s secret stash porn props. They’re evolving into hybrid art-therapy objects that meet 2024’s messy needs.
Are they for everyone? Hell no. But for those drowning in silence or shame? That whisper of wings might just be the lifeline they need. Just maybe don’t gift one to your mom. Unless she’s into avant-garde sculpture. You do you.
