Is it a sin for adults to play with dolls?

[SomeRandom]

Im not considering doing it, but it reminds me of Catholics processing with their Saint Jude or virgin Mary statues and crucifixes.

Or the ancient Israelites processing the Ark of the Covenant and golden Angels, like they were real and dwelling place of God, Or figures and images that Hindus use and are devoted to.

I'm just saying it isn't a whole lot different. If he is actually having full blown sex with the doll, well that becomes quite different, but still , similar concept to Catholics becoming one flesh with Christ in holy communion (perhaps )

I've heard people swear that they had sexual intimacy with a diety, so who knows.

I just admire this mans courage to do this in public places.

Whilst there are err sexual practices people do with deities even in Hinduism. I'd still recommend seeing a mental health professional.
I mean you do you and all that. If it makes this man happy, far be it for me to interefere. But I will kind of glance at it sideways even still.

At least the guy isn't going to brothels or creating relationships that complicate things. There's no risk of sexually transmitted disease and she will always have the time. ; 0)

It looks like he has strong characteristics relating to creativity and just living a relatively harmless fantasy that isn't really hurting anybody. I could think of worse fetishes people have.

Morally wrong? No. Psychologically unhealthy. Yes.

How would men feel if women decided that dolls of men were better than real ones.

Wot @Stanyon said.

Er go.

What I like about this guy is he is remaining faithful to a partner who is quadrapalegic, blind, deaf, and dumb.

And as you can see, he is far more about relationship than sex.

What if you had a son who was a senior in high-school who had no time for friends or hobbies, but spent all his time talking to, bathing, walking, going on outings with, and screwing a doll.

What would you do for, or say to your son?

Would you possibly disown him?

In many ways, isn't it like having a relationship with God? How do you know God doesn't cherish this man's relationship with his doll?

You easily make me laugh. Yesterday you wrote "God should have had at least 1 book written by a female"
And today you created already a "Female version of God". Well done. Much better even than female writer

You will think that I am kidding, but I half believe them to feel that way already.

No, I don't like it. But I don't know that I can do anything but accept it.

True acceptance is a gift, a joy not to be presumed.

That said, I will certainly feel somewhat unconfortable if open doll-"worship" becomes very widespread.

But is that so different from other things that I had a hard time accepting? Once upon a time I acted weird upon seeing men with ponytails. Yeah, that was indeed silly of me.

 

[LuisDantas]

As for the OP's situation... I find myself wondering not only how his wife feels about this, but also what choice they all may have or lack.

It is all too easy to think of worse attitudes that he might have had instead and that people have to either accept or pretend not to notice, for various reasons.

I sure think that he and those that deal with him would be better off were he more interested in living people.

But realistically, most people would be better off if they found it in themselves to overcome some form or other of emotional need. That is not a very meaningful conclusion. Personal growth is a good thing, but it would not be named as such if it were very easy to attain.

No of course not! Sometimes people need a release in a certain way. It would be unusual behavior of course, that's what fetishes are, but if I had a son who girls typically didn't find attractive or whatever, it might help him cope when the hormones kick in too much. I probably would have a talk about it about the psychological ramifications in getting too involved in a fantasy about the possibility of losing grip as a note of concern. If it's just hormonal and physical, I would just consider it as a fun sex toy that he likes to use during the indulgences of fantasy.

Sometimes when you're not one of the beautiful people socially, you will likely become an out cast and isolated. I'd rather have them screw a love doll and play house in the interim rather than see something fester and possibly develop into more nefarious passions.

How do you know God or some spirit isn't speaking to him through the doll? God speaks to us silently after all.

God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”
So speaking through the doll is no problem at all I think.

This `sounds` a bit weird:"God speaks to us silently after all"
Did you mean:"God speaks after all to us when we are silent"
or:
"God speaks to `us when we are silent`, after all the talking"

God speaks to us in silence and we can't hear him with our ears, for most people at least.

If the man was a babysitter and I had kids, I would be hesitant to leave them unattended with him

You mean if the man was babysitting your kids together with the doll?
Probably your girl-kids would love that, even more so the boys.
But that might be a sin if they started "playing" with the doll
I would not mind though, would you? Even if it were my kids!

Please explain your reasons for believing it is wrong. Thanks!

Nothing wrong with that. The man seems very dedicated to me. Only 1 doll. He seems happy, doll seems happy. What more God could wish for?
Not a blade of grass moves without His Will. So God controls the "doll's moves" so to say. These dolls seem to have quite smooth moves, right?

No discrimination. Doll is pale, man seems to have a red head. Both seem Japanese. Even a straight relationship. Pure platonic? No snake whispering.
Seems all in the clear so far. Even seat belt fastened in the car. Almost too good to be true.

I read once about marriage:
1) Man should follow God
2) Woman should follow Man
3) Man should never make Woman cry
4) Woman should not be to demanding

1)?
2) check
3) check
4) check

Seems to be at least 75% right. Better than the average "non-doll" relationships I guess, having divorce rate of 50-60%, fighting all day, woman crying her eyes out etc.

This man, having a doll, would not mind, he is already "happily married", and has obviously the understanding that "this type of relationship is the best anyway"

It is the same with religion. I am happy with my religion, and I am totally senang that others [men and women] choose a different religion

 

[stvdv]

Is anyone who drags a doll around pretending that it's a real person relationship material though?

Man drinking many beers in pub or hanging in front of TV all night. Men/women cheating on each other [divorce rate 50+%]. fighting each other 23h55m/day. Relationship material?

I would not worry about my kids playing with the doll, but be worried that the man wasn't in his right mind and unsafe with children. Or perhaps he will leave a bad example for them to learn from. Like, they might want to be like him and play with dolls instead of getting real friends.

This is like "virtual reality". I never play video games, but many people do.
This is like "talking on a forum" to others, not meeting in real life.
Some people have maybe even "virtual sex" using phone++
Some have virtual babies, got from a test tube.

It's the start of taking virtual to the next level

I don't see it as a real relationship since the doll has no free will of her own, and that it is psychologically unhealthy. But he seems happy so i won't stamp on his parade. If it's only a sex doll made for his pleasure that i can see becoming popular, but to treat it as a sentient being is something i'm not too sure of.

How is it psychologically unhealthy?
