With no actual experience I'm gonna agree with this wholeheartedly.
With no actual experience. Did I mention I don't know what you're talking about?
I don't have one. But I recommend one. If, like, I had one...I would recommend it...highly.

"What is REAL?" asked smurfco’s RealDoll™ one day, when they were lying side by side near the washer and dryer, while smurfco and micwalt were at band practice. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you or play dirty talk?"

"Real isn't how you are made," said micwalt’s RealDoll™. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a lonely rock musician loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked smurfco’s RealDoll™.

"Sometimes," said micwalt’s RealDoll™, for she was always sore. "But when you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like when smurfco dresses up like Sgt. Pepper” she asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said micwalt’s RealDoll™. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to RealDolls™ who don’t get fucked several times a day, or have rip or tear, or who have to be handled with care. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people like Gary Blanchard who don't understand."

I try to combat this retail therapy cycle by attaching purchases to creative projects. I tend to shuffle gear between big recording projects. Or I will come up with a scheme whereby I make myself write X number of songs with a new guitar or toy before even considering the next new thing.
