Abandoned by his fiancé made this man decide to move on. He also dated a sex doll and even introduced her to his mother.
Rod, not his real name, is a man from Australia, New South Wales. He admitted that he was lonely after being dumped by his girlfriend, so he decided to buy Karina -- the name of his sex doll -- online in 2021. He bought Karina, which was priced at USD 2,064.
Even though at that time he still had little information about sex dolls, the 54-year-old man said that Karina managed to change his life in many ways.
"The doll becomes a synthetic physical companion," Rod told Mamamia.
"Slowly my heart opened up, and I was distracted from my grief over the loss of an ex that would not go away on its own," he continued, as reported by the NY Post.
Two months after buying Karina, Rod ventured to introduce his doll lover to his mother. Unsurprisingly, her mother's response was quite unpleasant when she encountered the sex doll.
"Mother seemed to see Karina as if she was poison. In the end, she softened, like a long lost child, she really liked her (in the end - ed)," he said.
Rod then bought another sex doll which is considered to be Karina's sister. The doll is named Lauren at a discounted price of USD 2,000 .
Now, Rod already has a real lover who he later made fiancé. The woman is Jenny from Vietnam, making her have to undergo a long-distance relationship. Even though at first they were confused and had created tension between them, the couple is now able to accept Karina and Lauren.
Even though he is considered strange, Rod admits that Karina has had a positive impact on his life. Rod, who likes taking pictures of Karina, not only manages to find love, he finally gets a contract with a Chinese company to photograph sex dolls as promotional material.
