There was a brief time where I almost got into the sexdoll sales business. Shits real weird.

Ok, now this sounds like a hell of a story. Mind telling it?

So I used to do handiwork for this weird boomer libertarian guy who lived in an RV, owned a ton of guns and was in failing health.

He'd buy us beers while we worked and was generally an alright guy, paid me well and I think just liked the company I afforded him.

One day while we were driving to pick up some shit from home depot, he tells me about how he had a wholesaler license and showed me the backend of Temu that only retailers usually get access to, and how he was thinking about getting into being a sex doll broker and wanted a younger attractive face for the sales side of it.

It was all just a little too weird for me and then I ended up getting another regular job and never heard from him again.

Right?! Like how does one almost get into such a business? I can't picture it being something you'd just fall into but who knows. Since there's interest, I'm going to see if I can find the overly detailed review left on Reddit.

People are yelling at me but I still think they are cool as a masturbation aid. I'd absolutely love to work in the real doll business. WITH THAT SAID, yes it is strange to have a doll in your home and especially if you grow to love it.

I don't think people are generally yelling at you, they are just saying that having a simulated sex slave (yes, that is generally what it would be) is probably not helpful to the project of making people more pro-social.
