Darn, work sucks, I am behind a few pages here again, so just picking a few questions from the last gazillion posts and stack my answers in another long-winded post.

2. do you ever doubt what you are doing? like do you ever think 'what if the mainstream is right and this is going a little far'? ever? (this question isnt meant to imply that the mainstream is correct btw, just interested... mostly to see correlations between doll ownership and professional gambling)
about 1.: well, there has been no actual gateway event in my case, it is just that I discovered the dolls and have been fascinated by them at the moment I found out about them.
If there has been a gateway it has been years ago when I decided to quit trying to be in a relationship with a real woman, because I figured out I am simply not relationship material, anyway. So as I found about the dolls, I thought, why not, I got nothing to loose here anyway.
about 2.: yes, I did. Indeed I hesitated no less than two years after I discovered dolls before I got some of my own. I just was not sure if I could justify spending that much money about something that might catch dust in a corner. Actually I see lots of people posting enthusiastically about their dolls when they first get them, then maybe post a follow up some weeks later, and then fall silent. Not sure if they got tired of their dolls or with the forums.
My hesitations have been rather about me than about what the mainstream thinks. However I spend my "waiting time" with thought about how to break the news to my friends.

Not quite often, actually. If I only want to get off, I use my hand. Only if I am the mood to simulate an intimate sexual encounter, I switch on the fantasy mode and do it with my doll.

I can only say something about this one out of the four questions you asked.
I think is it not healthy to prefer dolls over humans. However when it comes to
relationships, I think for me it is better to be in an imaginative relationship with a doll, than being in a real relationship with a women, to whom I am not able to give what she reasonably expects, wants and needs in a relationship. Been there, done that. I do not want to hurt any woman anymore with the inevitable traits of mine I cannot get rid of, so I choose to fulfill my needs for companionship with a doll, and treat woman with the respect they deserve from safe distance. And, yes, this is just about me, not saying something about anyone else.

Sounds like a good idea to me too. One would need the consent of the person in that picture to do that, of course.
And CheckCheckFold: yeah, BladeRunner rocks for me.
