Interesting thread. For me, the most valuable thing about HX Doll is exactly this focus on personality and emotional support, not just the physical aspect. It's easy to underestimate how much structured companionship, even with a doll, can help people dealing with isolation, social anxiety, or low self-esteem. The idea of giving each doll a unique name and story actually makes it feel more like a long‑term companion than a disposable toy, which I think is healthier for users' mindset in the long run. As for the "real-life" option, that's obviously a different experience, but it's not really a replacement: some people simply aren't ready or comfortable with that, while a doll gives them a safe, pressure‑free space to explore intimacy at their own pace.
