Yes, reliable. I’m a pragmatic guy. I don’t see them as a “replacement” to the real deal per se, more of an alternative if you’re single, lonely, maybe you haven’t been treated particularly well, (etc.) or just want an awesome ménage à trois (threesome), orgy, or fun companion! Why not all of the above!? Some may judge you for owning something like this, but at the end of the day ultimately WTF is their opinion worth. They don’t go down on you or pay your bills.
