Reasons for Doll Sexuality

Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yep, since I planned the character ahead of getting the doll I already knew.
Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
I guess I chose for her to be straight, but I also thought that it fitted the sculpt. I felt like if the doll actually cempt like a different sexuality might have fit it better I would have just changed the character around.
Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
I wouldn't call it beliefs, I just made my doll straight since so am I so it just made it easier for me to think of the character and the relationships she would be involved it. But I do plan to have dolls in the future that would be different sexualities so please don't get me wrong.
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?
For the girl I have I fully intend to get her a boy partner, since it is required for the story and plot/character advancement.
Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
No, the default sexuality I tend to make my dolls is straight [or they just don't care enough] but if there is a sculpt that seems like it would fit not being straight better I would definitely make it that way.
Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise?
I think her style is just lolita like and girly, I don't think you'd be able to tell someones sexuality just from that.

 

Did you know your doll was going to be gay wen you bought him/her?
I did, indeed. I had planned his character a little bit (not thoroughly) before buying him, and he just... he was so definitely gay.
What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
I'll be completely honest; I've always been into m/m fiction. My doll reflects my taste, I guess?
Does your doll cause controversy within you family? If not, do they accept it or have you just not told them?
My family really isn't that interested in my doll. They don't really understand the hobby, so they just treat it with a sort of detached respect. So while they know that he's gay in my head, they don't really know the full depth of his character, and I frankly think they don't really care. Probably think it's a little weird, but no, I wouldn't say it causes controversy.
Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand being gay, or do you choose all on your own?
Some sculpts are very obviously gay for me. Others are more open and take me a while to think of a character for. In the case of my one boy, he definitely looked gay to me when I first saw him on the internet, but with the next doll I'm getting--his boyfriend--the sculpt doesn't play into his sexuality. It just depends.
Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
I guess my doll reflects that I like gay characters. ._. Not really sure what that says about me.
Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
At first, I told myself that he would be fine on his own. I was just going to have one, and his character wasn't going to be so in depth that he would need a partner. But. Ha. Almost as soon as I pulled him out of the box, he was just... lonely. Yes, I feel the need to give him a partner, and I'm going to buy him fairly soon. I probably wouldn't have my doll 'hook up' with someone else's doll because I'd want to have the couple as a set to pose with, and dolls are so personal, I feel it'd just be awkward to be like, 'My doll likes your doll; they should go out.' ._. Not sure what I'd do if someone else suggested that to me, though.
Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
Nope. Honestly, it would probably be unintended if any of them ended up straight.
Are there any people you do not feel comfortable sharing his/her sexuality with?
Probably anyone I wouldn't be comfortable sharing my hobby with in the first place. Some of my more... er, old-fashioned relatives. I wouldn't tell them, though I probably wouldn't bring BJDs up to them at all; not intentionally.
Is you doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
Not at all. I'm about as straight as they come, but my doll is still very much gay.

This was fun.

 

-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
Yes, I had planned his character this way so he had his sexuality chosen way before I made the order for him
-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?I'm not necessarily drawn to gay dolls, it's just that that's how I wanted his character to be. I plan for a couple of my other dolls in my wish list to be straight, but the one I do have happens to be gay
-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?He probably would if my family cared enough to inquire about him
-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?I choose. As I've said before, it's all about the character I want them to be, and not about the sculpt's looks
-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?I guess they could reflect something in me(my love for yaoi) but its not the overall deciding factor
-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 actually am planning on buying one of my future dolls his partner, but for the doll I do have, he is currently in a relationship with a friend's doll
-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?Ha ha yes. I had originally planned a type of unrequited love situation, but as I finished his story, I felt I had to make a happy ending in which the (originally) straight guy returns his love. Though, I have yet to buy either of them yet.
-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?My friends who are not in the bjd community. They usually ask about the basics of bjds but then ask why we have personalities for them and I feel a little embarrassed to outright say hes gay
-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?I'm a very straight female so no, my sexuality doesn't come into play for my Doll's sexuality

yes
-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?

no.
-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
well, it is no one's business. it is just my doll.

 

For those with undecided or bi or straight or gay 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?
No, since I only had one doll and my concern wasn’t with her sexuality. Though I guess I always thought of her as straight. But it didn’t make sense to me in a fantasy environment to make that a limiting factor. Since I currently only have one doll it’s just us two.

-Do you feel your doll expresses thing in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
Probably something in myself that while I’m straight I don’t feel like I would say “I would never do that”. I think I see sexuality as being fluid depending on the individuals you meet. I’m not interested in guys in general but I’ve met some gay men that I was very good friends with and though it’s never came up it made me wonder, what if? I could say I would be open but it’s theory at this point so it could be that I would be unable to cross the gender gap sexually.

-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
No, I have no family and my friends just ignore it.
-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
Hell, no. My doll wouldn’t allow for it.
-Is your doll bi even though it is against your beliefs?
No, I believe in bisexuality or rather the freedom for people to do what they want.

-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 don’t or rather haven’t but am going to get more dolls though not for that reason.

-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?
Erlif said

And I feel the same way about my female dolls and men. For all the openness I was posting above my interest is definitely in women.
My next dolls will be female and we’ll see what happens romantically. I don’t think I’ll know until the other dolls are here. I don’t plan on buying any male dolls but I am getting the Iplehouse Bianca Addiction set which comes with an extra head. Doll Chateau makes this cool body that I like but it only comes as a male. So I’ll likely be putting that extra head on that male body. Which I like because that makes the whole sexuality issue even more confusing. How does it work when a male body identifies as female? Is my vamp gonna fall in love with her male doppelganger? Will my current girl fall for the new vampire in town or perhaps she goes for the transgender counterpart? We’ll see.

 

I have both gay and straight dolls and also one who is bi, but I'll answer only for the first two types because I'm more used to them and I can better understand their personality.


For my gay dolls

-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
I knew because all of them were previously characters from a roleplay I developed for years and some of them was meant to be homosexual from the very beggining. So, yes, they were meant to be this way, but this does not mean they are free from sexual self-conflict. Some of my characters has never dealed well with their own sexuality.

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
Most of my characters are gay, so I just think it's natural for me wanting gay dolls.

-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
They don't know I collect dollies.

-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
As for real people, there's not a "right" apperance for a gay or straight guy, so I don't think it is important and I don't see dolls with more feminine features instantly as gay dolls. One of my gays are going to be an Herculean from Spirit Doll XD.

-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
I like slash and maybe that was what pushed me towards gay characters at first, but I don't think it's relevant anymore. They're gay because their history background made it looks just right. After all, it depends more on their history and personalities then on what I like.

-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?
They all have partners, but not all of them are my characters (most of them are not). The girl who roleplays and writes with me would like to buy a doll someday, but it's not her priority and I have no problem waiting for their boyfriends to come. For those whose partners are my characters as well, I'm planning on buy them eventually.

-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
No, all the gay ones were meant to be gays.

-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
I don't share nothing about my characters with people who can't understand my hobbies, but that has nothing todo with my dolls sexuality (:

-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
No, not at all, I'm straight (:


For my straight dolls

-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes, for the same reason I said above.

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
Some of them I chose, but William specifically refused to even think about being anything but straight. I tryed, but he didn't cooperate, so just let it be.

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
No, 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?
My straight dolls have partners because of their history background, but I'm only planning to buy William's GF, Anwen.

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
Same as the previous question about that.

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
Well, William is all punk-ish and for me he does look straight, but more then one friend has already told me he looks otherwise, so I don't know...

 

I'm answering with this set of questions because it's the only one that really fits my MNF Nyne, who is pansexual. (Please note - pansexuality has a lot of different perceived meanings, and I am working from my own meaning. I am pan myself, and I chose this sexuality as I am attracted to both men and women, as well as those who are at median points along the gender scale, including transsexual people; I am also honestly attracted to many of the semi-humanoid species in science fiction, including Cardassians from Star Trek (Garak from DS9 in particular!) as well as Vastra from the recent series of Doctor Who. This the same as Nyne - although she has less of a scales thing than I do!)

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?
Nyne was never intended to end up pan, she just kinda did to be honest. For me, it's not that neither fitted, it's more that pan fitted her better than anything else. She's a very sexual being, and it just felt right with her to be pan. That, and her attraction to science fiction characters who aren't strictly human works into it well.
-Do you feel your doll expresses thing in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
As I stated above, Nyne is pan and so am I, however, I didn't choose to make her pan because of this. I feel she chose it, it was what seemed natural with her so I ran with it.
-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
Not really - I am in a stable relationship with a man so I've never had the discussion with my parents that I am pan, and as such it just doesn't come up with Nyne either. My partner is fine with it (well, obviously, he's okay with me!), and I don't think my dolly friends/friends I discuss my dolls with would have any problem with it. I've got pretty open and awesome friends haha.
-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
No, I've never had to and I never would. I'm pretty good at explaining pansexuality after more than 5 years of it, I'd just explain it to them. To be honest, if it was someone I didn't know or care about, if they started to argue I'd just walk away. If they won't accept pansexuality in my doll, I don't see them getting on well with me :P
-Is your doll bi even though it is against your beliefs?
This question made me laugh - nope, oddly enough pansexuality (or bi, or gay, or anything else in between. Or straight, for that matter) isn't against my 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 had a story that revolves around Nyne and a male doll for some time, probably as long as I've had her. So I will eventually buy him and bring him home for her. Otherwise, I think Nyne would enjoy having a doll in person to flirt with, whether they belonged to me or another doll owner.
-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?
Because of the relationship between Nyne and Grayson (my planned male doll) she won't ever really have a single friend, but at the same time she always will....it's a really convoluted story haha. Generally, it'll be where her mood takes her - if she's more in the mood for guys, she'll flirt with Grayson (when I get him), if she's in the mood for girls, she'll think about girls. If she's in the mood for Talaxian, or Andorian, or Trill, she'll go watch Star Trek haha.

And I figured I should do one for my other main character doll too

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Nope, I knew a lot about her character, but since sexual orientation doesn't really bother me all that much, it wasn't something I really plan out, it's just what happens.
-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
My doll characters are pretty...self driven? They just end up as they end up. So, she didn't really ask, but I didn't really choose either...if that makes sense.
-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
Nope, just how she ended up.
-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 had toyed with the idea for a while, but I made the decision I don't need anymore big dolls - they're a touch too expensive for me. If I did get her a man, it'd be a SSDF Cloud.
-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless of sculpt?
I don't think so, I think most sculpts are versatile to a point where they could be either gender, so no, I don't think any are specifically straight.
-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
...I don't even understand this question in regards to human people - I don't assume boys wearing pink are gay, nor do I assume women wearing mens jeans and baggy guys tees are lesbian. Basing sexuality on appearance is wrong in my opinion.

And now for my tinies
For those whose dolls have no sexuality
-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
They're tinies, they're meant to be around 7-8, and since they're perpetually that age I feel it unkind to force a sexuality on them because if they could grow up, I would prefer they made the choice themselves.
-Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just dont, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
Again, character age is the main reason.
-Would it make you feel weird giving your doll a sexuality, since it's just a doll or is there another reason?
A little, but only because they are meant to be young. My other dolls have sexuality, so it doesn't have anything to do with their being dolls. Although my pukipuki is supposed to be a faerie who's 103 and wants me to get her an SD boy to be friends with, so she probably does have a sexuality - straight, but only for men 5 times her height XD
(I was going to answer the rest but since the reason is entirely based on age, they didn't really add much to the discussion haha).

 

I'm not sure what option should I choose,
For those with straight dolls or For those whose dolls have no sexuality... Hmmm...
I just never thought about it.
All my dolls are girls and all prefer boys, but I do not have and do not plan boy-dolls because I can imagine only girls in my collection.

 

For those whose dolls have no sexuality:

Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
It wasn't even a choice. I had never thought about it until now.
But, now that I am reading about it, I came to the conclusion that I dislike the idea very much... It is something that does not appeal to me in the least.

Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just don't, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
They simply don't have sexual preferences... I would find weird to see them as "gay", "straight", "bi", or anything else.

Would it make you feel weird giving your doll a sexuality, since it's just a doll or is there another reason?
Giving a sexuality to any of my dolls would make me feel weird. Very, very weird.

Does your doll have no sexuality because you don't want to give friends and families the wrong impression?
No.
I guess if I ever not only gave them sexual preferences (or any kind of sexuality) but also felt like communicating it to my family (I can't imagine why I would ever do that, but anyway...), they would laugh it off as a joke. In the hypothesis that they would actually take me seriously and believe that I gave my dolls sexual preferences, I am quite sure they would strongly disapprove of it, and some would feel disturbed by it.

Does your doll have no sexuality because you live in a house with young children or are young yourself?
I have a young child in my house, but I don't see why this would be a reason to avoid... Giving my dolls sexual preferences.

Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
No.

 

For those whose dolls have no sexuality
-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
I just don't see how it would matter, since my dolls don't have elaborate back stories like some.

-Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just dont, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
I guess it's a choice, if I gave them back stories maybe their sexuality would be more apparent.


-Does your doll have no sexuality because you don't want to give friends and families the wrong impression?
Not really, but I certainly wouldn't go around telling people my doll is straight or gay if they were. I can see how it would sound odd to people.

-Does your doll have no sexuality because you live in a house with young children or are young yourself?
Nope, I just never really thought about it.

-Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
Not at all, my actual characters that I draw and I've had for a long time have sexualities, because they kinda have back stories. But I just don't see the need to have a sexuality for my doll. My doll is for me to express creativity visually, not to shell a character into.

 

As far as the BJD's are concerned only Aine (Mirodoll Annie) has indicated she might have a preference for her own gender or she might be bi. The Miro MSD pair is definitely a couple. Alba is too young of an elf to seem to care much. Aine does seem to be crushed and gravitating towards towards my RS vamp but they're entirely the wrong size to be a couple and the RS vamp seems more amused than turned on so we're leaving it at that. I guess when I finally get myself a Miro blue Wind SD and/or a body for Kelly we'll find out. Somehow one way or the other two SD dolls will end up being a couple and I'll figure it out then.

In so far as my other dolls are concerned. I have two Kens that are definitely a couple and I purposely bought a Tonner doll who's character was officially stated to be gay because I thought that was way cool of Robert Tonner to do, and somewhat unusual for a doll in the fashion world to be openly officially gay, not just made that way by it's owner. For the record I'm straight. I just believe my doll collection should be representative of human diversity and those Kens they just seem to be a couple to me unlike the rest who are Barbie & Co guys.

Why gay dolls? Same reason I have many different skin tones, even body types. People come in all kinds of shapes, colors, and have varying preferences. Both of my best friends are gay. Actually my BFF is bi and my BMF is gay, so of course I want dolls in my collection that reflect them too. Why not? No, I'm not religious in any sense so none of that matters to me. They just are what they are. There are people in my life who just happen to be gay. There are dolls on my shelf who happen to be gay. That's all.

 

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes
-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
Chose, they were planned characters
-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
No, that's just how the characters and story went
-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?
Partners are all planned out, I personally find it more interesting for everyone to have a significant other
-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I choose regardless of sculpt, the right faceup really makes a difference
-Is your doll obviously straight or does their style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
Generally, their style is obviously straight

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?
Two were definitely going to be bi, the other saw gender as more fluid and didn't want a label
-Do you feel your doll expresses thing in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
Since my dolls are all different characters, they all are a small piece of me in their own way, so yes they all express a part of me, no matter their sexuality
-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
No, but these specific characters are not home yet and will not be for awhile, so in the future it is possible (however none of their business, so probably not)
-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
No, but as I said above, they aren't home yet
-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?
As I said above, their partners are all planned out, I just haven't had the funds to purchase them yet
-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?
My dolls generally stay monogamous, so they stay with their partner, they just find both genders attractive

For those whose dolls have no sexuality
-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
Their age
-Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just dont, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
Both, being children they don't have a preference, and I also don't plan on aging them up and giving them a sexual preference
-Would it make you feel weird giving your doll a sexuality, since it's just a doll or is there another reason?
For these, yes it would make me feel weird
-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?
No
-Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
No

 

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes.

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
In the book, his character is straight, so I knew from the start that he would be, as well.

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
No. This character is straight because the story called for him to be in a relationship with another character (who is female). There are characters in the book who are gay and bisexual as well.

-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?
She is my character, so I will buy her.

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I choose the sexuality regardless.

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
Well, part of his character is that he is assumed to be gay. He has feminine mannerisms and is described as "pretty". His style does not really lean in either direction. By the end of the book, his girlfriend makes most of his clothes.


For those whose dolls have no sexuality
-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
-Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just dont, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
-Would it make you feel weird giving your doll a sexuality, since it's just a doll or is there another reason?
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you don't want to give friends and families the wrong impression?
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you live in a house with young children or are young yourself?
-Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
They have no sexuality because they're too young.

 

Although I'm new to the whole BJD community, it already stands clear to me that there are incredibly many gay couples among the dolls (especially guyXguy).
How come?
Is it because it's popular?
Or perhaps because many of those who have an interest in BJD also share the interest of manga/anime and especially those involving yaoi/BL?

I can't help but wonder. I have absolutely nothing against homosexuality; my curiosity just demanded that I started a small debate so that I could get wiser on the topic :3

So what's your (or your friend's?) reason for creating a releationship between two male BJDs?
And do you own/know of girlXgirl relationships among the dolls?

 

Some of the male/male doll pairings may just come from the fact that yaoi/shonen-ai type stuff also seems to be popular within the community... That being said, I've always wondered this, as well!

As for girl/girl couples, I've got plans for a female couple but I haven't had the funds to put behind it yet. I've definitely seen other, very inspiring examples, though -- they're just not as common as male/male or straight pairings from what I've seen.

 

I am a girl who finds guys attractive, therefore 2 guys = 2x the attractive Same reason I like yaoi and slash fiction. There are girlxgirl relationships as well floating around -- the community has a bit of everything.

 

In my own dolls, it's just how the characters evolved prior to the dolls ever coming into the picture, to be quite honest.

In my main "family," I do have three adults so far, one gay, one straight, one bi and caught in the middle. Their characters were like that long before I ever even considered buying any of them as BJDs, or even seriously looking at the hobby at all. Of the ones planned, most are straight or bi, they just aren't home yet.

In my secondary "family," the characters are actually based off characters from a role playing game I was part of in the past. The ones I have home so far are both male, and both evolved into a relationship in the game, thus, the doll avatars of them are also in a relationship. The next one coming home has no partner, but according to her player is a lesbian (sadly, I probably won't get a partner for her, unless some sort of inspiration comes to me), and the remaining two coming into that group are also straight.

Of course, everyone's motivations are different, but for me personally, none of it was "I want to have a yaoi/lesbian/straight couple," it's just a matter of "I want this character as a doll," and the sexuality comes along for the ride!

 

Another yaoi fan here.

As far as my dolls go, the two cosplay dolls are together because the Word of God sketches of those characters say loud and clear that they're a couple (and it's my OTP besides). Of the others, the two 60+cm girls are together. There may be more; I have tentative plans for some of the dolls.

 

There are plenty of people with het couples... and with dolls that don't have any sort of "dolly sexuality" at all.

We just seem to be a lot quieter than the yaoi fans.

 

I am a fan of guyxguy manga and many other things. I always planned to have a gay couple for my dolls but since I have been buy them they seem to have a different personality when they come out of the box and I pair them Straight.
