1. I speak to my doll all the time. She has a very powerful presence wherever she is in the house, and almost feels like having another human about. Yes, she’s pretty quiet, but I probably get more speaking to her than I would with a lot of real people!
I also talk to my cat, and rarely get any meaningful conversation from him, apart from what passes for “feed me” and “let me in/out”
2. I don’t talk to the dolls in any normal way. I’m aware of their presence throughout the day and night, and I have fond thoughts about them always. If anything, it would be one-way telepathy, since they never respond. They always have this very relaxed, sexy expression on their faces, no matter what goes on in the world. They just wait there, motionless, gorgeous looking, for as long as it takes for me to pay some close attention to them. Then they suddenly become alive, but just in my imagination
3. Well, I never really talked to my mannequin or any of my mini’s, but with my 1st TPE gal, it’s different somehow. I find myself talking to her quite often. Weird really, her gaze just gives the impression she’s interested in what I have to say. I’ve been married for 30 years. That’s a completely new experience for me!
