Do you kiss/cuddle your dolls?

    1. I've never hugged, kissed, or cuddled any of my dolls and I doubt I ever will. I love my dolls a great deal but I'd rather cuddle a stuffed animal than a hard piece of plastic. :P

    2. I usually hug my dolls, especially my MSD boy (he's just too adorable).
      I've kissed my dolls on the top of the head before, kinda annoying when you get a lip full of wig fibers! :lol:

    3. I'm quite generous when it comes to cuddling. :)

    4. Though my Belle is really too tiny to cuddle, I do tend to treat her like a bit of a pet when I go to doll meets. :) I pat her on the head and I do enjoy carrying her around in my dress pocket.

    5. I do but not much. It tends to be when I'm sewing for them. Since I don't use patterns I often have them on my lap so that I can use them to size the stuff I'm working on and do they get cuddled and kissed then. My dolly time is fairly limited though because between my roommate and myself there are three large dogs and four cats in the house so I never take the dolls out of my room which is the hair free zone :)

    8. Most of the time he stands or sits between me and the desktop monitor. I press him close to my cheek every now and then. Whoever said resin warms up quickly whenever handled is not kidding. It's very stress-relieving. ♥

      And recently, I catch myself pressing my ear to his chest and waiting for a heartbeat. So crazy. O_O

    9. I cuddle with Aubreigh when I read books at home. She seems like a book reader.

      And sometimes we cuddle and watch TV. :)

    10. I kiss them on the head or occasionally I'll nap with them and cuddle. The bigger they are, the easier.

    11. I approve of doll cuddling but not sure about kissing ... maybe on the hair!

    12. Yes, I kiss my doll's wig lol. My 70 cm Resin Soul is my "cuddling doll." He was my first and he's special lol. I don't cuddle as one would do a teddy bear because I want to keep him clean and tidy. But I like to sit on the couch with him on my lap and look at his face--especially when I'm down. :(

    13. I usually cuddle Avalon when I'm not feeling my best or having a bad day...I've also napped with him intentionally...For a big hunk of resin...He's cuddly.

    15. i sit my dolls in bed with me sometimes if i'm feeling sick or sad, but that's the closest to using them for comfort i get, i think. resin is cold and hard as well as inanimate; my boyfriend and pets are warm and soft and alive. so, i don't have much motive to cuddle a doll most of the time.

      as an exception, i did try holding one of my vinyl jointed dolls who is squishier than my resin BJD when i was feeling sad once, but even though she was softer than resin, holding a doll in your arms still feels weird to me- they're too small, they have pointy bits. not for me i guess.

    16. ehhh not really, i have a 11cm and 19cm, they're a bit too small for that
      but when i go to the dayroom/ rec room i like to take one of them with me to watch me play video games or hang out in someone elses room! ^ ^
      so i have other ways of showing my affection for them!

    17. Sometimes. I put one of them next to me in bed and he fell over,his head landed on the pillow. It was like he wanted to lie next to me.

    18. I cuddle my MSD boys a lot, especially Tyler, my RS Mai. I like to carry him around in the crook of my arm, or just hold him when I'm reading. I've probably kissed my dolls a few times, but it's just on the top of their heads.
       
      #178 SapphireStargazer, Apr 4, 2013
    19. Yeah I do! I also used to caress my porcelain dolls because they look like lil kids xD Whenever I feel like needing a hug I tend to grab my selfmade 50 cm girl because she is a little bigger and therefor easier to hug instead of my 40 cm Mei ;P And with my pullips I just have them sit against my chest on the desk whenever im on my pc, I don't move them around much (or hug) because of loose wigs (I don't glue, rubber band or whatever them on because of a lot of wig changing) and I kiss them like most, on their wigs ;)

    20. Hell yeah I admit to cuddling & kissing my boys, i love them! Damian my first bjd is the one I cuddle the most by far though. I hold him and cuddle him while watching TV or I play with his hair. I also like the feel of the smooth resin so will often just run my fingers along his arm. After all they are ours to enjoy:)
