could be just photoshop. but i've seen that dolls that cost $€2.5k or more do indeed look very real.

hm, yeah, this must be a photoshop. this doll looks very good but it still has "doll" face. very good and realistic but a doll face. the one above is just way too realistic.

hm, maybe not. maybe the tech is indeed THAT good that they can get the faces absolutely realistic.

@Justicar Solid work on the face, for sure
I believe the face is more important from an emotional/sympathetic perspective and equally important to the body from a reproductive perspective.

@DoubleD if i would own my own home, i'd give it a go. seems they made quite a progress in the looks department these days. main thing that still puts me off dolls, beside aforementioned, is the maintenance. compared to fleshlight and alike, it's incomprehensibly more work. but tfm says the satisfaction lasts longer due to brain perceiving it as real, so it might be worth it. either way, i am open to trying in the future.

@Justicar If you go with a silicone doll, it cuts down on the maintenance immensely. The maintenance you need to do also depends on the amount of use she sees. Minimal wear-and-tear can be handled with infrequent refreshers of oils for the TPE if you have TPE. Just like cars and their mileage, the more you use them, the more maintenance they need.

@DoubleD i'd only pick silicone. tpe just sound horrible(leaking oil, wtf).
