On sex dolls

There are many talks about how the society shames female sexuality, but very few speak on an aspect where male sexuality is an object of mockery as well. I'm speaking about owning sex dolls. Generally all sexual acts a man can do, besides an intercourse with an attractive woman (or a man, for more liberal audiences) and utilizing socially appropriate porn in low doses, are frowned upon. The patriarchal society regards such men as losers who failed to get a woman. The pseudo progressive society (most feminists, a large chunk of liberals) also aren't happy, because they believe the man in question replaced relationships with porn and sex toys as something interchangeable and therefore thinks women are objects. There are two sides to this problem. The first one I already covered on my Twitter: it's the misconception that sex toys are oriented at single people only, and a person using them must be alone. The second is this weird concept that being in a relationship is the goal of any human being, and a single person was unable to find a partner rather than chose not to. And out of these men those who have interest towards sex dolls are the most misinterpreted community, perhaps due to how elaborate the dolls are.
I myself don't yet have a doll. But I want to, and I am in a relationship. I have a strong aesthetic attachment to one sex doll model (the drawing I made of her is below) and my partners are just as enthusiastic about it as I am. For a lot of people such dolls are largely comfort objects, like teddy bears. Pseudo progressives would say an adult with a teddy bear is cute and empowering. But once the sexual component is added, this is suddenly creepy.
