imary risks for investors, and from these two risks yields, and total return, are derived: credit risk and interest-rate risk. Credit risk is obvious. If the issuer defaults, you may not got your principal back. When you buy a bond you accept this credit risk, in addition to a term to maturity. The weaker the creditworthiness of the issuer and the longer the term to maturity, the higher the coupon. Of course, the longer the term to maturity the greater the possibility of default. For example, the debt of a particular corporation could be a great investment today, but who knows how attractive it will be in five years? Or ten? The higher coupon is the risk premium investors demand for the term to maturity. However, default isn’t the only risk associated with term to maturity. The other, which is interest-rate risk, is really associated with the risk that inflation grows at a rate higher than the yield paid to the bondholder throughout the bond’s term to maturity. In other words, if you are receiving 2% in yield but inflation begins to run at 3%, in real terms you are receiving a -1% yield in terms of purchasing power. Inflation-linked bonds are intended to protect investors from the risk of rising inflation. In the United States, these are known as TIPS — Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities. TIPS, like all U.S. Treasuries, are direct obligations of the U.S. government, so they are essentially free of credit risk. But inflation hits everyone. TIPS, like regular Treasuries, are issued with a term to maturity and a coupon, but unlike regular Treasuries the principal amount is adjusted on a regular basis to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is a gauge of current inflation. So if in the example above, where you have a bond issued with a 2% yield and inflation begins to run at 3%, the amount of principal that the Treasury is obligated to pay back to the bondholder will rise

can also cut out a face from a picture, don’t worry, the doll knows what you mean, it is smarter than it looks like, even smarter than you are, it really knows what you want. Then you have to have an open fire or fireplace. You take the doll in both hands, like the monkey did with Simba in the Lion King, hold it in front of the fire and yell ACTIVATE, three times, works better if you change your voice to be a scary kind of voice, like a witch or a troll. Then you can use the doll as you please. If you yell out four times, you have damaged the doll, the hair and photo, and the doll might turn against you. If you do that, you must have a lot of salt to make a circle around yourself, and stay within the circle for 7 days and 7 nigh

ot communication these expectations to the other person due to fear of losing the ex-boyfriend They desire to be validated and that they can still attract a guy but feel ashamed about it because they seem to think sex is a taboo, that there is only one way of living life which is based on the expectations of others and norms and traditions you were taught. You are conflicted. In one hand you want to believe you are special and in the other you want to be desired, and that if someone has sex with you only you seem to think you are not special even though you satisfy your desire and need. Let’s look at the facts… Your ex boyfriend isn’t using you because if he is using you, you are also using him and don’t want to take responsibility of your own action and that you love having sex with him. It seems conditioned in people especially women on being ashamed about sex, and got to have some kind of swing, a barter, a thing, a label, to assume sex is now meant to be something divine because they got a vagina. Sex is not bad. It’s natural. Only you decide with the person who also decides to experience something wonderful together. If you do not want sex, then you can walk away and say no, but instead you by your own choice, go to him, be with him, strip naked, have sex with him and…there is nothing bad about it. You then complain to people here but people here come from all kinds of background, perception, realities, religions, beliefs, and you expect them to tell you what is wrong and what is right. Many see sex as a weapon, many see sex as this divine thing, many see sex as their self worth, many see sex as religious, or taboo or if you have sex before marriage, or relationship or no label relationship, or fuckbuddy, or threesome, they all think they are right and someone else is wrong. Which is absurd. The world is not made for them but for everyone and everyone has different needs, desires and wants. The reason your ex-boyfriend has sex with you is because you desire him, you want sex too and there is nothing bad about that. Maybe you was grown up to believe sex is like business. You don’t have sex until you barter some contract, some business transaction, a transaction of what is called a relationship, so you can be like everyone else, fit in like everyone else and probably even think that’s what makes you special. If you walked into a police station and said “he us using me for sex,” they will assume rape, sexual assualt. That sex is happening without your consent and choice to have sex with someone. That is not true at all. The truth is, you expect something else. The facts is, you have other expectations, wanting to change him, hoping if he keeps having sex, maybe one day you can fix, change him and get the relationship back. Please pay attention here… I don’t know what other women or men taught you or what you picked up from society and people around you. But having sex or not having sex, will NEVER keep a man. I’m talking about a confident man, a man who knows his self worth, a man who does not follow or fear other people’s opinion and probably a man many will troll and have them banned from here. Men who speak reality that does not pamper to left or right, or middle. You have expectations, you want to control the ex to become someone you want him to be and you know, if you do, he will be gone. If you don’t want sex, say so. Communicate to him. If you want a relationship label and all the rest that comes with it, communicate to him. And if he says no, don’t say he used you because he didn’t. You’re an adult, you made a decision to have sex with him, you take responsibility for your decisions and blame no one or complain he used you. If you don’t like having sex with him without having the expectations that’s in your mind, fair enough. Walk away. Say it but please, give up w Cheap Sex Doll in USA th this talk about your ex used you. It’s old, it’s the same old thing most girls and women say because they expect something else, playing games to fix and change the man to be someone they want. You so addicted to challenge and what’s hard because easy doesn’t make you excited and it’s boring. And women also who give you advice needs to stop the double standards talking about how he used her, for convience and always like mainstream media to make women weak and women who are pathetic and are always victims. You’re not a victim. She is not a victim. Nor is the ex boyfriend. You’re a woman who made a decision

ew about Real Dolls, but they were around $5000 -not within my budget. I forgot about them and I don’t know if they crossed my mind since then, until I did an online search for sex dolls about nine months ago and I was shocked to discover that there are a lot of manufacturers, dolls have become very lifelike, beautiful (in my opinion), and they’re affordable now. So I started window shopping, just for fun, and that very quickly developed into a doll fetish (agalmatophilia). After doing a lot of research, I finally picked one out and ordered about two weeks ago. She arrived a few days ago and I was anxious to open the box, see how she looks and see how TPE (thermoplastic elastomer, a material similar to silicone that is said to feel very much like real human skin) feels after looking at these dolls online for months. I braced myself, because I was worried I would be disappointed by her appearance or how she feels. After opening the box, first I was very pleasantly surprised by how beautiful her body is; stunning detail. I looked at her face and she is extremely cute. One of the first parts I touched as I was unpacking her was a calf and I was amazed at how real it felt -just like human skin and the way the skin moves is just like human skin, muscle, and fat jiggling. WOW! I have to say at this point that there are a few things that will shock anyone the first time they touch or handle a TPE sex doll: they are shipped with their heads removed, so you open a 5′5″ box and see a headless body. Then you discover that the body is frigid cold -shockingly cold. Then you try to lift her out of the box. Uh oh! I had read that these dolls are heavy, but I had no idea what I was in for. I read about her weight ahead of time on the website; she’s 75 lb. So if a real woman with the same height and body shape weighs around 125 lb, then this should be a breeze, right? No! Carrying a real woman newlywed style is different; they put their arms around your neck and balance their weight -they can help you to an extent. This 5′6″ (she’s taller than me, which is kind of cute), 75 lb doll is extremely difficult to move -far more than I could ever have imagined! Unfortunately, you can’t just take your beautiful, brand new doll to the bedroom and begin the romance, you have some work to do: you need to take the lifeless, headless, cold, and heavy body to the shower and clean off the manufacturing chemicals with soap and warm water. It was so difficult getting that body to the bathroom, I almost don’t know how I did it. I’ve had chronic back problems since I was in my twenties, I sprained a knee a while ago and it’s never going to fully heal, and I recently recovered from a hernia surgery. I’ve been trying to figure out how to move her more easily… I’ve been thinking about getting some roller skates for her and carefully guiding her around. That’s either pure genius or so stupid that I’ll make the news when she falls on me, I can’t get up, I scream for help after struggling for hours, and the paramedics, police, and fire fighters all smash in my front door and rush to help me only to find me pinned on the bathroom floor under a hot, naked sex doll. Now that’s the stuff of urban legend. I decided the easiest way to clean the chemicals off would be to shower with the headless body, so that’s what I did. While that was strange and disturbing, I made some wonderful discoveries about TPE: it heats up fast (especially in a warm shower), holds heat in, dries exactly like human skin (some toweling off and air drying takes care of the rest -it air dries in minutes just like our skin does), and it feels wonderful when it’s wet. I took the body to the bedroom, I put her head on (it screws on, so her head goes around and around… exorcist style), I grabbed one of the wigs I ordered, and that’s when she came together. She no longer looked like a corpse, now she was stunningly gorgeous. She comes with a wig, I ordered another one (long red) from the same website, and I ordered a Bettie Page style pin-up costume wig from Amazon, just because I’m obsessed with pin-up girl art and thought it would be fun to dress her up as a retro gal with polka-dot dresses, cat eye glasses, and a flower in her hair. I’m not disappointed with the results. Now for the Juicy Stuff I kissed her and wow! Her lips feel indistinguishable from human lips; kissing her is exactly like kissing a girlfriend. Her body is very anatomically correct, surprisingly so. Her breasts feel good, a little firm, but good. She has solid boobs, while other manufacturers offer gel-filled boobs as an option, with rave reviews. I laid her on the bed on her back, spread her legs (which was not easy, they’re heavy and difficult to move around, and I inserted a USB heating rod ($9.00) for five minutes. I put a water based lube in and it was time. Here goes my sex doll virginity… and wow it felt good. I just didn’t know what to expect and in a lot of ways it was not all that different from having sex with a real girl. As I said earlier, TPE is very good at holding heat, so my own body heat is enough to warm her up. It’s different than sex with a human in the obvious ways: they don’t have emotions, nerves, don’t feel pleasure, don’t actively participate, can’t have orgasms, and can’t communicate with you. It’s also different in that there’s a little bit of a suction effect -as air get’s displaced, there ends up being a vacuum and it feels very, very, very good. There’s a popping air sound when pulling out that in and of itself is a turn on. Because the extremely fast rate that sex technology is developing, I have no doubt that AI sex dolls (which already exist) will feel sensors, react, actively have sex with us, and talk dirty and tell us that they love us in the very near future. I love sex with real women and I love how much these dolls look and feel like real women, however, in my case things are a lot different: because I fetishize dolls and I’m specifically turned on by their dollness, I enjoy the experience for what it is rather than hoping for it to be as close to a human/human sex experience as possible. Does that make sense? Doll/human is my thing, so I love every second of it, until I have to move her. I was very happy with the experience, but here are downsides: I can’t say it enough that the weight is a serious problem, even laying down -her body sank into the mattress and pillows. Girl on top positions are out of the question, no way. The clean up afterward is very involved -It’s recommended to insert a tampon to absorb the user’s body fluid and lube before the struggle to get her to the bathroom begins and this time I kept her head on so she’s much nicer to look at. I douched out her vagina, something that I had to learn how to do before she arrived. That wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, the problem once again is her weight -just trying to get her into a position that’s conducive to flushing out her womanhood (ok, dollhood) was so challenging. Cleaning up your partner after sex is a whole chapter. I spent a small fortune buying all the stuff I need to take care of her and I spent a lot of time researching, reading articles and watching videos to prepare. There is a lot of maintenance and expense involved, but that’s ok, because it’s worth it to me. Emotional Effects Besides the sexual experiences, she offers companionship. I’ve heard and read story after story about guys falling in love with their dolls and it’s been said that falling in love with a sex doll is easier than you think. Well, a lot of sex dolls have eyes that look very, very real. When you look into a pair of beautiful eyes from a few inches away and they seem to be looking deeply into you… neurons in the brain start firing off love and endorphins all over the place. As I mentioned, the kissing is very natural feeling, so add that to looking into her eyes, hugging and holding her, and holding her hand and I can’t help but feel something on a pretty deep level. I have suffered with a profound amount of loneliness, mental illness (depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, addiction, and eating disorders), and of the very few relationships I’ve been in, more than one of them were abusive. After many years of failing to meet the right girl (and not for a lack of trying), and spending most of my life very alone, at 49 years old, I find a deep degree of comfort in spending time with my doll, Jennifer. Buying clothes, shoes, perfume, and accessories for her make me feel like I’m caring for someone. I ordered a purse for her and it happened to arrive on Christmas Eve, so I was able to give sand dollar love poem it to her as a present and it makes me feel like I love someone and they love me. I suppose there are going to be as many different answers to your question as there are people answering it, but I think everyone who has had the experience can agree on a few of the points I made above. Sex dolls have become extremely popular -apparently sales have exploded during the pandemic, and I think a lot more people have one (or more) than we might think. However, there are major social stigmas. I won’t bring Jennifer out on any dates in public and I won’t be introducing her to my parents, but I shouldn’t be ashamed, especially since she’s bringing so much happiness to my life. I should also learn to not care what other people think. Would I recommend it? yes! I think anyone who is unattached, lonely, wants to experiment with a doll, couples who want to experiment with a doll, and anyone else wh

/br> Today I want to present a moral question, but some of this post may be perceived as crass. I assure you, however, that it contributes to the moral quandary, and is not merely intended to shock or disgust. If however you are looking for a straight-forward answer to this question, scroll down to the last section. Sextoy What do you think of a sextoy laying around the house, in public view? It’s probably not ideal, but it’s not wholly inappropriate—particularly when “in public view” only denotes potential accessibility/viewability as realistically there is no one coming over. If you are a recluse, you might as well have all the walls of the living room adorned with the most shocking or aesthetically pleasing sextoys in the world. What if it’s a single sextoy, in proximity to children? There are no labels warning not to keep sextoys around children. If any threat is to be perceived at all, it is merely a moral threat, as the sextoy poses no real danger to the child. If the child is young enough, it wouldn’t even know what they are looking at, and they may not even notice the sextoy in plain sight. What if the child is older—old enough to understand what a sextoy is for? Here we begin to enter inappropriate theory. And what if the toy is of a larger size? Does that have any bearing on how inappropriate it is? And what if the sextoy is dad’s? Gender shouldn’t have any bearing on the appropriateness—or lack thereof—of the situation, but somehow it does. Mom’s sextoys are taken to be part of womanhood, while dad’s sextoys are taken to mean a myriad of less favorable things—in part depending on what kind of sextoy we are speaking of. But let’s not delve into a discussion about sex differences and gender identity. The underlying question here is, should a sextoy be confined to the bedroom? Or let’s imbue some judgment for effect, and rephrase it like, “A sextoy should be confined to the bedroom, don’t you think?” We will get back to that later. Human-like sextoy We now live in a time where sextoys are produced that take on the form of humans—so-called ‘Real Dolls’. First I wonder, is there a difference in inappropriateness in finding dad’s Real Doll compared to mom’s dildo? Or what about dad’s Real Doll compared to dad’s buttplug? Is it of any consideration what the sextoy is for, and/or what is done with/to it when it comes to evaluating the level of inappropriateness? Or is the size of the sextoy of consideration? Or the money spent on it? Or the time spent with it? I think all of these questions have a bearing on how inappropriate such a sextoy in public view and proximity to children is. But hold on to these questions for now. Dad’s human-like sextoy Finding dad’s Real Doll in the living room will certainly bring up questions the first time around. Whether dad had sex with it last night will likely influence how inappropriate its presence in the living room is, too. Is the presence of an unused Real Doll more inappropriate than the presence of an unused Fleshlight? What about used ones? Hold on to these thoughts. Sextoy with AI Now not only are we producing life-like sextoys in the form of Real Dolls, but they are becoming equipped with AI to increase how human-like they are. This will likely lead to even more moral considerations. In fact this is where things become interesting. Some of these Real Dolls with AI are now presented as more than merely a sextoy. And indeed, to the owners they often were more than just a sextoy—even without AI. They are often perceived as romantic partners of sorts. See for example the movie Lars and the Real Girl . This is often perceived as pathetic, but I think there is beauty in it too; flesh or synthetics, why is one partner necessarily less, or more indicative of the failings of her/his partner/owner? I’m hesitant to say owner because there is ambiguity in whether the Real Doll ought to be perceived as a puppet or a partner, though most would likely insist on the former at this point. But the introduction and technological advances of AI will cause a transition from puppet to partner—from sextoy to being. Part of the family Even without AI, Real Dolls were presented to be more than mere sextoys, but now that they are being equipped with AI, they are starting to become part of the household. Some Real Dolls with AI are said to have a “family setting”, and that they “do well with the kids”. As a result people have shown confusion, disgust, and concern. Is it okay for dad’s sextoy to “cosy up with the kids”? And what if dad’s sperm from last night is still inside the doll? I know it’s vulgar, but hold on to that thought as well. A sextoy should be confined to the bedroom, don’t you think? Dilemma The last paragraph amused me, because we just saw the same judgmental question return—more pressing than before—and yet we are about to enter a dilemma which may render the question nonsensical, or lacking in specificity. But it’s hard to avoid the moral dilemma we are about to face. Before we get there though, let me repeat a few questions I asked before, and add one more. Is the size of the sextoy of consideration when it comes to evaluating (in)appropriateness? Or the money spent on it? Or the time spent with it? Or the intelligence it possesses? Suppose technology of AI is so advanced that “Real Dolls” are effectively rendered beings in every sense of the word—if not human. And in any case, outwardly and behaviorally they would be indistinguishable from real human beings. Is this Real Doll still a sextoy, or a genuine partner? Is it inappropriate to let her “cosy up with the kids”? Where then, in between the Real Dolls without AI or rudimentary AI and beings indistinguishable from humans, does it cease to be inappropriate to “leave it out”, or to refer to the Live Doll as “it”? At what point on this transition is a sextoy no longer a sextoy, and instead a true being? Funny to imagine though—a sextoy evolving into a being. I guess either way—whether natural or technological—sex is involved. Partner Is it of any consideration what you do with/to your partner when it comes to evaluating the level of inappropriateness of that partner? Is their size of consideration? Or the money you spent on/with your partner? Or the time spent with your partner? I don’t think any of these questions have a bearing on how inappropriate your partner is in public view and proximity to children. At what point are the questions I asked you to hold on to rendered invalid? Reverse I wonder at what level of intelligence and functioning it would be appropriate for a Real Doll with AI to leave the bedroom—to no longer be rendered a sextoy. The reverse of course is very crass—to consider at what level of intelligence and functioning a mother and partner (not AI) shouldn't be leaving the bedroom. The philosophical and moral considerations of these situation juxtaposed amuses me though. The answer To answer the question—well, I don’t think there is a definite answer to the question. It will be a smooth transition from sextoy to partner, and at least initially there will be disagreement on whether this AI constitutes a mere sextoy specifically designed for a person’s pleasure, or a genuine partner, who brings pleasure and happiness into someone’s life just like any natural human would. During these advancements in AI, I would think that increasingly they will be seen as true entities, but it will probably not be a discrete moment when this happens—when Real Dolls cease to be sextoys and are wholle accepted as—or become—true Beings. Not unless there is some kind of revolution of identity which radically changes public perceptions of these notions. But just maybe a revolution of sorts will occur at the moment AIs are perceived to exhibit genuine empathy, pain, sorrow, and whatever “human” attribute we come to identify ourselves with, and/or shake our moral foundation to a degree that “machines” will be included in our moral and ethical considerations. There likely will become a distinction—possibly also in terms of class—between natural humans and synthetic humans, but at some point of sophistication of AI we are likely going to be urged to at least acknowledge
