Interviewer: Thanks for agreeing to this interview. Can you tell us why you decided to own a companion doll?
Owner: It was a combination of things. I was going through a rough patch, feeling isolated and lonely. I’d been curious about dolls for a while, and I thought it might provide some comfort.
Interviewer: What do you think is the biggest misconception about doll owners?
Owner: That we’re all sex-crazed weirdos who can’t get a real relationship. It’s much more nuanced than that. For many of us, it’s about companionship, comfort, and self-discovery.
Interviewer: What advice would you give to someone considering buying a doll?
Owner: Do your research, set realistic expectations, and be prepared for the practicalities of doll ownership. It’s not a magic bullet, but it can be a positive experience if you approach it with the right mindset.
This interview format continues with questions about stigma, community, and the future of doll ownership.
