Reasons for Doll Sexuality

For those with Gay dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
yes & no. i kind of had an idea in my head of maybe making him bi or something. but when he actually arrived he told me he only liked boys heehee~
-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
even though i LOVE yaoi, i dont really have any reason to want to make my dolls gay. they decide that for themselves.
-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
nope. my family loves gabriel way too much and they just don't care about that kind of stuff. but mainly because he just uses his cuteness on us to listen and do whatever he says... :/
-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
uhmm i don't choose for my dolls to be gay. but i gotta say that i think crobidoll sculpts were just made to be gay ^^
-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
i think Gabriel reflects the childish nature of myself & my ideal of the cutest kid in the world. i think its also a coincidence that he's gay since i am too, so i wouldn't say his sexuality is COMPLETELY dependent...
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
i don't feel the need to give him a partner but since he gets lonely easy and also demanding it i guess i have to now. right now i'm hoping to find another doll owner whose doll is gay/bi that can bring my baby happiness.
-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
yes. i had a feeling he was gay but just said he was straight/bi until he came...& corrected me XD
-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
nope. his sexuality is apart of who he is. & if someone isn't comfortable with that then oh well haha
-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
nope. he's gay because he just likes boys. that's all :3

 

-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
My doll is based off of an existing character so yes.

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
I don't know that I want a gay doll so much as the character is gay and means a lot to me as he was my first original character.

-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
My family isn't really aware of my dolls to much, my friends and room mates don't really care.

-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
I looked for a sculpt that matched my view of what the character looked like but I don't think that a sculpt comes with a sexuality, I think that the sexuality comes with the character.

-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
There sexuality is completely their own.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
Eventually I will purchase his partner, right now I am shopping for the right sculpt.

-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
He was gay from the start and homosexuality is not against my beliefs.

-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
Anyone who knows about the doll knows his sexuality. I don't think I would feel uncomfortable sharing though.

-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
Not at all. I am strait but have strait and gay characters. This one just happens to be gay.

 

Iason Antoney

-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
No. When I first bought him the character I intended him for was not only straight but about 5 years older. As I kept thinking about him and trying to make him fit the story I realized that he was not only younger but voraciously gay. I had to set aside the other character and come up with a new one for him.
-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
Nothing draws me to it, it just seems natural to me because I've never had a problem with a person being gay. I've grown up knowing a startlingly diverse cross-section of humanity and because of that things like race, religion, sexuality and so forth tend to not matter to me so much. in comparison things like being a dick for no reason are high on my list of reasons to hate someone.
-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
I haven't told anyone in my family that he's gay simply because it's never come up. however i doubt it'd be an issue. most likely they'd just roll their eyes and laugh. "Leah and her gayness " is a bit of an injoke from when I was a sprog and still thought of Gay in the original meaning of the term.
-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
None of the sculpts that I've seen leap out at me and scream "look at my gayness" so I guess it's all just me.
-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
A writer once said that all characters are in some small way a reflection of one's self. so both I suppose.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
I don't feel the need to get him a partner (yet) but if I did I would want one of my own so that they could interact whenever the mood struck me (and I have very irregular hours so it would be impracticle to try and hook up with another person's doll.)
-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
I didn't intend for him to be gay but he grew in another direction.
-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
No.
-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
No. I'm straight and my doll is not.


Brutus Ambrose

-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
Because he was a child before he became a fae.
-Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just dont, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
He just doesn't.
-Would it make you feel weird giving your doll a sexuality, since it's just a doll or is there another reason?
To me, all children are aesexual until puberty and since he is a child still, he is aesexual.
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you don't want to give friends and families the wrong impression?
No
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you live in a house with young children or are young yourself?
Nu-uh
-Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
Nope.

 

-Was your doll at first intended to be either gay or straight and neither seemed to fit or were they always going to be bi?
i actually was intending on him being gay, but as time went on, my own view on sexuality changed and i decided that bi-sexual (or rather, pan-sexual) would be more fitting.
-Do you feel your doll expresses thing in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
he definitely expresses the inner gender/sexuality conflict that i have. ironically, i bought him as a female mold, intending on fixing up his body and making him into a boy. this was around the time when i was realising my own gender identity. i think my own struggle is subconsciously reflected in louis.
-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
nope, not at all. he only has one friend, and she's a lesbian, so he really has no problems, or none so far.
-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
i haven't said anything about his sexuality. i don't find is relevant or necessary to mention.
-Is your doll bi even though it is against your beliefs?
nope, not at all xD i, myself, am pansexual so i really couldn't care.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner to hook up with?
i've been thinking of actually creating a transgender (ftm) doll for him to hook up with, but the new doll would be so far away from his own storyline that i don't think they would work. i'm attempting to find him a proper boyfriend online, however. i just find romance between dolls adorable and fun to play out :]
-Do you feel the need to give your doll both a boy and a girl friend, or does he/her have a single friend and just has feelings for the other gender as well?
if you mean dating-wise, i don't think bisexual people in general go for the whole "three-person relationship" and i find this question sort of offensive. no. he won't have a three-way relationship because it would complicate things. being bisexual doesn't give you a free pass to date whomever you want at any time. bisexual people go by the same rules gay, lesbian or straight people do. there isn't a special rule that only bisexual people are freely allowed to date two people at once. anyway... I AM DONE.

 

I have only two ABJDs at the moment, but I already have characters in mind that represent the different categories in this questionnaire, so I will answer for all of them, but remove the questions that are essentially the same. I just want to start off my saying that I accept and respect everyone's sexuality, believe it's born not chosen, have many gay friends and am straight myself. Just like in real people, I want my dolls to have variety. I think this discussion is much about peoples sexuality as dolls really, as the attitudes towards the dolls aren't any different in my opinion.

For those with Gay dolls

-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
Definitely.

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
Some dolls/characters are simply born that way. It's an essential part of their being.
-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
My dad doesn't really like gays, but then that's just his generation. He doesn't mind me having gay friends though, so why should he mind gay dolls! LOL. The rest of my family are fine with it - wouldn't matter either way it they weren't as I am an adult living in my own home.
-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
Definitely, but I think that's also in the eye of the beholder. For me Soom Dia/Sard is so androgynous and openly sexual that there is no way I could make her/him a straight.
-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
I think it all depends on the character of the doll, but then again one could argue every character has a piece of it's creator. I did experiment in my youth, but all my relationships have been quite straight.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
Not necessarily a long term partner, but I do like them to have others to interact with.
-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
Nothing sexual (legal) is against my beliefs, but sometimes you might buy a doll thinking it was a goof boyfriend for a girl doll of yours and when it arrives it's only interested in boys!
-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
Nope. Out loud and proud it the way to do it.
-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
No. I love variety. It's nice to have all sorts.

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes. The character of the doll is often formed on the moment of purchase or before and sexuality is a important component of the character.
-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
The character was straight and I don't think I really chose it, it just formed in my mind like characters do.-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
Difficult to say as face up can change things a lot. It's way easier to see the obviously gay ones - gaydar!
-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
So far my characters are quite obviously what they are, but I have one character in mind who might try to hide his sexuality - if I ever get the doll.

For those with undecided or bi dolls
-Was your doll at first intended to be either gay or straight and neither seemed to fit or were they always going to be bi?
I think dolls becoming bi-sexual is due to having too few dolls. They need to flirt with someone, so getting a bi doll will help the situation for both male and female dolls. Then again some dolls just have a libido that drives them for being omnivores.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll both a boy and a girl friend, or does he/her have a single friend and just has feelings for the other gender as well? (sorry if that was worded funny...)
I think the last reply answered to this one as well.

For those whose dolls have no sexuality
-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
I think when the dolls character is a child sexuality doesn't come to play. Naturally it could be fun the have children playing cross-dressing games etc. but those aren't actually sexual for the children no matter what future tendency they might indicate. If it were an adult doll, some personalities just are A-sexual.
-Would it make you feel weird giving your doll a sexuality, since it's just a doll or is there another reason?
No, actually lacking sexuality is what would make an adult doll seem weird, but if it's an intentional part of the character why not. I think collecting expensive dolls thinking they are nothing but pieces of resin without any added value would be most weird of all.
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you don't want to give friends and families the wrong impression?
Nope.It's because the dolls are children and too young for sexuality.
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you live in a house with young children or are young yourself?
No. I live with my hubby and we have no youngsters anywhere around.
-Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
Definitely not. I'm not religious. Just don't believe in sexualising minors.
​

 

I think my doll Ashton most fits the term 'Homoflexible' than anything else, sure he's mostly interested in guy dolls but if a girl doll strikes his fancy he's not going to turn down such an opportunity.

-Was your doll at first intended to be either gay or straight and neither seemed to fit or were they always going to be bi?
My doll Ashton was never intended to have a set sexuality, he just seems to have evolved over time as I've interacted with him. I haven't actively chosen his look, style or even personality it's as if he's done it himself.

-Do you feel your doll expresses things in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
I'm the other end of the scale, I'm more 'Heteroflexible'. I didn't intend it but it does seem that he is a direct reflection of me in this instance.

-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
No one in my family or extended friends really gives a toss about my doll (except for MissCarrion). It's a non issue.

-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
It's never come up.

-Is your doll bi even though it is against your beliefs?
Nope.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner to hook up with?
I'd like for Ashton to have someone to hang out with *coughmolestcough*, but funds are scarce. Before I sold my female doll to MissCarrion she was Ashtons' cousin (and not the kissing type).

-Do you feel the need to give your doll both a boy and a girl friend, or does he/she have a single friend and just has feelings for the other gender as well?
Ashton has given me a list of possible sculpts he wouldn't mind sharing a shelf with... They're all male though. My current floating head was originally supposed to be male but has had a change of gender identity and now wants a female body.

 

-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
yes, i did. elrik sort of walked into my life and introduced himself to me and i knew right away he was a lady's man.

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
oh he told me. very pointedly. *cough*

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
nah, it's basically just the character. i'm not going to force a character to be gay if they don't want to be.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
he already has a partner, though she has not arrived yet. :33

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
i think there might be some sculpts that demand to be straight - iplehouse men are pretty ruler-esque.

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
my boy is obviously straight, aside from his minor obsession with his hair.

 

-Was your doll at first intended to be either gay or straight and neither seemed to fit or were they always going to be bi?
He was intended to be straight but it didn't seem to work out to well, He likes girls but doesn't mind going the other way
-Do you feel your doll expresses thing in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
Independent
-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
No
-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
Yes, I say hes straight to avoid drama
-Is your doll bi even though it is against your beliefs?
No, it isnt against my beliefs bisexuality doesn't bother me so long that it isn't directed towards me being a straight woman
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner to hook up with?
Yes I have considered that, hes very lonely, at least a younger brother if I cant afford a lover
-Do you feel the need to give your doll both a boy and a girl friend, or does he/her have a single friend and just has feelings for the other gender as well? (sorry if that was worded funny...)
XD Ive thought about it

 

-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes, very much so.
-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
A bit of both I suppose.
-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
My dolls will ALL be straight due to my personal and religious beliefs. No, my family doesn't have any input on this, if I chose to make them gay or bi they'd be so, but I choose not because I believe that a man lying with another man is wrong (same with woman + woman) ect.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
I don't really feel a NEED to give my doll a partner right now, he's too young in maturity to handle it imo. We'll see how he feels about it though...maybe he's more mentally mature than I thought...
-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
Nope, all of my dolls are and will be straight, regardless of sculpt.
-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
I suppose it won't be like, obvious?

 

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Definately, all my dolls so far have been straight

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
Chose I suppose lol! A doll hasn't told me they were gay yet

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
Hmmmm maybe, maybe I don't relate to being gay because I am not gay, therefore my dolls are straight. But I suppose they can be slightly androgynous at times

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
Sometimes, although I prefer them to be a Mummy's boy haha

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
Hmmmm maybe more face ups determine whether he be a pretty boy or not

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
Hmmm yes I reakon it portrays straight mostly

 

I don't have any of these dolls yet but I have so many characters waiting for body.

Straight: Lieselotte, Suki
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
- For Suki it was obvious that she's going to be straight, since she's my old OC that I wanted to have dolled. Fot Lieselotte it was also quite clear, since her personality is.... well, she uses men for getting what she wants. And I already had thought of getting her a boyfriend.
-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
- I chose them to be straight.
-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
- No, it just felt like they would be straight. (I wouldn't mind girlfriends for them either, but I think I need some straight characters too)
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
- Lieselotte will have my friend's doll as her boyfriend. As for Suki... she had a love interest, but that was also my friend's character and I think she's not going to make him a doll, so... yeah, se needs a man for herself. Maybe. I don't know yet will I buy a boyfriend for her.
-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
- I choose regardless
-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
- I think they are abviously straight...

Gay: Emil, Juuso
-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
- Yeah, I knew they are going to be gays.
-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
- I think that all kind of pairings (hetero and gay ones) are very cute. I just... don't know. For some reason I like gay pairings a little more (I'm bisexual myself), so I make them more.
-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
- I haven't told them anything~. And like I said, I don't even have dolls yet.
-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
- Usually I just start to think what kind of character I would make from a doll I want. Then, when their names and personalities are becoming more clear, I start to think are they gay or straight. Or bi.
-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
- ...I haven't thought about this. I think they reflect something in myself in some ways, since I put a little of myself on my characters.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
- Emil will have a boyfriend that my friend is going to buy, Juuso will have Julius as his boyfriend (Julius is in my bi characters)
-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
- Nope.
-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
- Yeeeah... A lot of people in my real life are that kind that I wouldn't tell them. Except my friends and people that don't hate gays.
-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
- I don't think so... Like I said, I'm bisexual.

Undecided/Bi: Basil, Julius
-Was your doll at first intended to be either gay or straight and neither seemed to fit or were they always going to be bi?
- First I thought Julius to be gay like his boyfriend, but then I thought that he would be bi. As for Basil, I was going to make him to be Suki's boyfriend. But then I changed Suki's mold from SD to MSD when I found a better doll, so that was impossible. Then I and my friend thought that he would be one of my friend's doll's boyfriend.
-Do you feel your doll expresses thing in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
- I think they express something in myself, but they also are independent. (Does that make sense?)
-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
- Well, I don't tell my family what I'm doing... And I guess my friends think they are okay.
-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
- I haven't had that kind of situation, but I think I would either do or not do it. It depends who I am talking with.
-Is your doll bi even though it is against your beliefs?
- I'm bi. So, nope.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner to hook up with?
- Julius already have Juuso. But yes, I want Basil to have either girl- or boyfriend :/.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll both a boy and a girl friend, or does he/her have a single friend and just has feelings for the other gender as well?
- It's more like... They would look at both genders and think that "Wow, he's/she's cute/handsome", but they are not going to flirt with everyone or something like that... Especially not Julius, since he has his boyfriend already.

 

For those with undecided or bi dolls:
(Regarding Capacity, my Dollga Arien/Volks hybrid.)

-Was your doll at first intended to be either gay or straight and neither seemed to fit or were they always going to be bi?
I never gave much thought about her sexuality until much later on. It's as if the character had intentionally kept that a secret from me. Funny how character development works.
-Do you feel your doll expresses thing in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
Her sexuality's independent from mine.
-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
They don't know--but even if they did, I don't think they'll really give a darn.
-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
Never had the opportunity to bring up her sexuality, but if it ever pops up in conversation I'll have no trouble being honest.
-Is your doll bi even though it is against your beliefs?
Not against my beliefs at all.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner to hook up with?
Her character wants a partner, but it's someone (another doll) she cannot be with unfortunately. Love hurts.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll both a boy and a girl friend, or does he/her have a single friend and just has feelings for the other gender as well? (sorry if that was worded funny...)
Not sure how to answer this, sorry.

 

Im in 2 of the questions lots so ill answer twice^^

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Of course it was not even a question that popped in my head, im straight and normally for me my dolls will be straight too. Anyway they don't have choice because they are planned from the first time to be matched :P
-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
I have choose for them and I don't think they got something against it ^^
-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
Im not sure how to answer the question since my english is not perfect and im not sure about the question, but as I said I am a straight person and having a bi doll is never been in my ideas. Its not because my family could be upset about this since I can do whatever I wish to with my things and they know it, and even if they were bi/gay I don't think its could even do something to them.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy(or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
My first SD girl have been matched to my first SD boy since I got them, it was my idea/story from a long time ago. About my other SD girl she is no need to be matched with a doll of my own but ill never be against a SD boy from a friend of me to be matched with her^^
-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
Hmmmmm no I don't see straight or bi into a sculpt ^^'
-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
No my dolls are all straight ^^



For those whose dolls have no sexuality
-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
Because she was first a girl with a girl body and I have switched for another body I liked very much and its appear that in my personal taste I have take a Delf female body with no breast, its give my girl a drag queen look with her seductive eyes but she is still straight for that, its just that sometime I feel like she is a HE instead of a SHE, thats why im answering those questions.. Im not too sure yet ^^'
-Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just dont, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
Its my choice but as I said upper im not sure yet, she love men but sometime I feel like she is a guy, so its make 'him' loving other guy.
-Would it make you feel weird giving your doll a sexuality, since it's just a doll or is there another reason?
No its not because of that I like to give stories to my dolls. She is just a big mystery for now^^
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you don't want to give friends and families the wrong impression?
Not at all, I don't get impress too much by other people, I have my own taste, my own choice and if a friend of mine is not please with my opinions about my things(dolls) I will not really care. I created them for me
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you live in a house with young children or are young yourself?
No im the younger here^^
-Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
Not at all ^^

 

These answers are not very involved or dramariffic, but hey.

For those with Gay dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
No.

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
Nothing "draws" me per se. Their characters just end up that way.

-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
I'm an adult. How I play make-believe isn't my family's business.

-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
No. I was fairly certain a doll I used to own was going to be gay while I was getting him out of the box and putting him together. Nope.

-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
Huh? No, I don't think so.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
My lesbian dolls are paired, yes. They were meant to be as they were pre-established characters. Yes, I own them both.

-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
Very few of my dolls have "intentions" pre-buying, as it were.

-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
No. Doesn't really matter.

-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
Their sexualities have nothing to do with mine.

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
No.

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
Their characters just developed. So my imagination chose.

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
Not at all.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
No, although some of them do. I usually buy them, but one doll does have an "outside partner".

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
Sculpts themselves, no. My characters? Yes.

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
*shrug* They all dress in what looks best. My straight males wear masculine outfits...

For those with undecided or bi dolls
-Was your doll at first intended to be either gay or straight and neither seemed to fit or were they always going to be bi?
Neither. The characters my dolls become often tend to just fall in love, gender regardless. Sexuality is not a huge part of any of my characters' backstories or lives, they just are what they are.

-Do you feel your doll expresses thing in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
Independent.

-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
Not at all.

-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
Absolutely not.

-Is your doll bi even though it is against your beliefs?
I find it silly for a lesbian to have anti-bisexual beliefs.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner to hook up with?
I've answered this question twice.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll both a boy and a girl friend, or does he/her have a single friend and just has feelings for the other gender as well? (sorry if that was worded funny...)
None of my dolls are polyamorous at this time. Those who are in "relationships" are in monogamous ones. No reason to rule it out, though.

For those whose dolls have no sexuality
-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
They are either children, or it has just never been a part of their character.

-Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just dont, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
In the case of the children, they are too young. In the case of the "asexual" adults, I assume if I explored the character backstories more I'd find something, but I haven't.

-Would it make you feel weird giving your doll a sexuality, since it's just a doll or is there another reason?
Not at all.

-Does your doll have no sexuality because you don't want to give friends and families the wrong impression?
Pfft.

-Does your doll have no sexuality because you live in a house with young children or are young yourself?
No, but the child characters are young, so.

-Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
Nope.

 

For those with gay dolls

Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her? You betcha.

What draws you to wanting gay dolls? I write stories about mainly gay/bi characters...I slobberinly adore yaoi...so I knew before I bought any of them that my boy BJD would all be gay..

Do your dolls cause controversy with your family? My family doesn't like my dolls as it is, so when they see them sitting next to me with their arms around each other, they generally say, 'Eeeuuuwww'...but they've lived with me long enough to be used to my gay-loving nature, so it's mainly teasing and it doesn't bother me...

Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? Yes, I think they'd be happier paired up, and as characters it's much more fun if there's romance in their lives...I bought Gabriel (Waltz BlueBlood) as a partner for Minjoon (Luts/Volks hybrid), and now Kenji (AOD) needs to find a guy...

Do any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs? I'm an uber liberal Buddhist, so my beliefs ARE tolerance, acceptance, peace & love ...and my dolls were gay in my mind before I bought them..

Are there any people you do not feel comfortable sharing his sexuality with? Nope. I'm out & proud & in everyone's face about my belief in equality & acceptance...I have Marriage Equality bumper stickers all over my car, and I live in a very conservative tiny town, gotta love it...so my dolls are Out too & loving it!

Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight doesn't appeal to you? I'm straight! It surprises everyone. ;D

 

i just come and see the others' answer cus i never thought about that...

 

I don't own a doll yet but I've already planned up to my 4th doll and all of them are boys (and gays).

-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
Yes. All my dolls are goign to be gays.

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
Because I like BL, Yaoi, Shounen-ai (any more terms...?) etc. And many male dolls are so slender, pretty and feminine looking, they just have to be BL.

-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
My family's cool with my soon-to-be gay dolls. They probably expect my dolls to be gay anyway since they know I'm very much into BL and pretty boys. The only problem they have with my dolls is the P.R.I.C.E

-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
I tend to choose all on my own, but definately, there are sculpts that tend to demand to be gay. And usually, these are the more feminine ones which I choose to be the partners of my more masculine boys.

-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
My dolls definately reflect something about myself - my interest in BL. But not exactly my sexual orientation per se. I'm straight.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
All my dolls will have a partner which I will buy.

-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
Nope. They're all intended to be gays and it's different from (I wouldn't use the word 'against') my beliefs in real life.

-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
Not really... Erm... Perhaps the elders in church? Guess I won't be talking to them about dolls anyway.

-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
Not at all. I'm straight and homosexuality is against my belief (personal as well as religious). Un uh, please don't misunderstand. I do not discriminate against homosexuals. In fact I have a few gay friends and I love and accept them as who they are. Just that I am straight; I cannot and will not accept a partner of the same gender. That's all.

About my dolls being gay, it may sound strange but I really don't think that's against or in conflict with my beliefs. Just like BL, it's part of fantasy and exist within my imaginations and not related to my beliefs in real life.

 

-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
I didn't. She did.
-Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just dont, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
Neither, Elly chose herself. She finds boys immature.
-Would it make you feel weird giving your doll a sexuality, since it's just a doll or is there another reason?
It just doesn't fit her character - I can't imagine her having a boyfriend.
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you don't want to give friends and families the wrong impression?
No, but I think they would get the wrong impression lol.
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you live in a house with young children or are young yourself?
Well I'm 14 so if Elly wasn't asexual then there still wouldn't be much of that kind of stuff going on anyway
-Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
No, I'm an atheist.

 

For those whose dolls have no sexuality
-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
I just think it's not inportend. And I don't feel like buying a partner for her.
-Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just dont, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
She just does't have one.
-Would it make you feel weird giving your doll a sexuality, since it's just a doll or is there another reason?
I do is part of a character. But mine doesn't really has some kind of character/story (yet). So I dont feel like giving her one.
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you don't want to give friends and families the wrong impression?
no. I don't talk about my dolls with friends/familie. They do know I have her but I just don't feel like talking about her. And my some of my familie members are bi and gay so it's accepted.
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you live in a house with young children or are young yourself?
none of those.
-Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
no I don't believe in anything.

 

-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
Yes; If I have boy dolls, they must be gay. I don't like my dolls to be straight. D:

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
Because straight dolls are not nearly as interesting and objectifiable as gay dolls are. Besides, sometimes they become bi for sexy threesomes. >:3 My dolls are hoares.Not that I'm heterophobic, lol, but my dolls are never PC. I'm not gonna spend 100+ on something I don't absolutely love. IRL I have lots of straight friends. Well, not LOTS; Straight people are scared of me.

-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
It's none of their business. Why would it be? What do they have to do with what I do with my dolls?

-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
Any sculpt can be gay/straight to me. Stereotyping is stupid. But yeah, I tend to choose the classic femmeboys and manry manry man partners, and then a very innocent girl and a brooding girl.

-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
Well, as a bisexual tranny, I would have to think so.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
I'm getting Aleister and I'm trying to ONLY get him, but... The landslide syndrome of dolls is hard to battle. D:

-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
Hmm... I only have two dolls, saving up for one more, so no, they were all intended to be gay.

-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
I suppose my parents. It's like I said; None of their business. Why would it ever come up in conversation?

-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
It's not that I DISlike it, I just don't LIKE it. I don't show it favor but I don't DISfavor it. I'm kinda neutral, but I love d**k-whoar boys and innocent versus dominant girls. So... Tada!
