The idea of using sex dolls as a form of stress relief might have been frowned upon in the past, but perhaps the times they are a-changing.
Stress is a normal part of life, but sometimes it is not simply a reaction to a difficult moment or a pile of problems arising on the same day, but becomes a chronic and persistent thing, something you struggle to shake off even at serene moments when nothing in particular is happening to cause any angst.
This is the point where stress is recognised as being a mental health issue. It is something that you can try to tackle with unhealthy means, such as drinking heavily, binge eating, or something fun and distracting.
Realistic sex dolls could help you do that. It may surprise some to think that such a thing could improve your mental health, but the physical relief, distraction and sheer enjoyment could go a long way to making you feel a whole lot better about your day. Many people have testified to the reality of this.
If you are single, this is a form of relief that is not normally available in human form, and if you are stressed all the time you might find relationships a struggle anyway. Indeed, sometimes relationships themselves can be the cause of the angst to begin with!
Five years ago, Psychology Today reported that just over half of British adults had a ‘comfort doll’. While this might for some be the equivalent of the teddy they had as kids, the idea that something non-living can give us stress relief is potent. A sex doll just takes that further.
A thing that has changed significantly since the Psychology Today article, however, is the Covid factor. It is not just that the pandemic brought so much stress itself, not to mention isolation for many; it also changed working patterns for millions, who now work from home for some or all of the time, unlike before 2020.
While working at home means less stress from commuting or office politics, isolation can have the reverse effect. So having another means of stress relief can be very welcome!
