Confessions of a Man Who Bought a $4000 Sex Doll

What made you decide to purchase a sex doll in the first place?

I first tried a masturbator toy and then became interested in full size sex dolls. I found out about them by searching online and finding a Canadian sex doll warehouse that ships them.

How much did you pay for the doll altogether including tax and shipping?

The original price was $4300 plus tax, but I got it damaged for less than $3000. Shipping was also expensive since it came from China.

As he grew under the care of the soldiers, he became more than just a mascot; he became one of them.

What Is Emotional Invalidation?

Emotional invalidation is the process of dismissing, belittling, or negating someone’s feelings. It can be intentional or unintentional, but regardless of the intent, it can have profound effects on the individual on the receiving end.

When someone expresses their feelings or emotions, they are sharing a vulnerable part of themselves. They are seeking understanding, empathy, and validation. Emotional invalidation, however, is the opposite of this. It’s like telling someone that their feelings are wrong, unimportant, or that they shouldn’t feel the way they do. This can be done through comments like “You’re overreacting,” “It’s not a big deal,” or “You shouldn’t feel that way.”

The reason emotional invalidation is harmful is multifaceted:
