Comic Sans 401 December 27, 2015 Share December 27, 2015 So I'm curious if anyone out there owns one, wants one or in general what your overall opinions of them are? I am a person who has spent the last year being disgusted by the thought of spending any kind of time alone with another person in an intimate way, and as a person with an obsessive nature who is practically in love with a fictional character, getting to squeeze a big pillow with that character on it just seems like a nice way for me to have a bit of comfort somehow when I'm alone and just feeling pent up. I also still live with my parents and brother, so if I were to own one, I would get looked down on and laughed at for owning one by them, so I am put off the idea of getting one for that very reason, otherwise I'd already have one by now. What about you guys? Anyone own one or in the same boat as me? Just a heads up, I am not referring to NSFW pillows, I am speaking mainly of pure innocent ones.

Dovashy 1,734 December 27, 2015 Share December 27, 2015 I don't own a dakimakura, and don't see myself owning one in the near future. If you live your life thinking about other people's opinions and views of you, you're not going to go anywhere - you can't please everyone, and you certainly wouldn't be pleasing yourself. I mean, they're family right - it's not even severe, it's just a pillow with an image on it. I say go for it. 1 Dovashy makes me think of soap xD.

Scrubbed user 3,416 December 27, 2015 Share December 27, 2015 If I had one, I don't I would tell anyone. If you do get one, I think storing it under your bed or beside it if one of the sides is close to a wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonClaw 8,164 December 27, 2015 Share December 27, 2015 (edited) They're not for me, that's for sure. I mean, I have nothing against anyone who wants/owns one, just that I wouldn't. I always see at least one stand selling them at conventions, like these ones I found a few years back: Edited December 27, 2015 by PoisonClaw 3 MLPForums "Self-Proclaimed" Kamen Rider NutNow, count up your sins!I do Traditional commissions, by the way!

Celtore 2,770 December 27, 2015 Share December 27, 2015 The suggestive nature about those pillows kind of... irks me. Whereas id feel completely comfortable buying a stuffed animal or plushie to hug when I go to sleep, I wouldn't be comfortable at all with buying a body pillow. If YOU want one though, go for it. I bought a charmander onesie despite my parents mocking the hell out of me for it. The mocking eventually ends and you'll have that thing you wanted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcyHaze 594 December 27, 2015 Share December 27, 2015 Personally I think they're kinda sad, but I still wouldn't stop someone from getting one or try to make them feel bad about it. 1 I hope some people get the joke ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they're family right - it's not even severe, it's just a pillow with an image on it. I say go for it. Thank you. n.n I don't usually give a care for what people think of me, but my family is an entirely different thing. I guess because y'know, I live with them and see them every day, so it's just completely different. If I had one, I don't I would tell anyone. If you do get one, I think storing it under your bed or beside it if one of the sides is close to a wall. That could be a good idea, yet I was thinking to tuck it in under my covers, but it would be easily noticable. xD They're not for me, that's for sure. I mean, I have nothing against anyone who wants/owns one, just that I wouldn't. I always see at least one stand selling them at conventions, like these ones I found a few years back: IMG_1335.JPG Yeah, I went to a convention for one day earlier this year and I did see two stalls selling them and they were mainly furry characters and ponies. Oh gosh, not being mean, but that word makes me think of a certain veryyyy NSFW video. Oh dear. XD Well I'd be wanting a SFW one, even if I lived on my own.

Yeah, NSFW ones I definitely find strange personally but I still have no problems with them, I mean each to their own sort of thing. I'd personally have a SFW one. I used to hug plushies when I went to sleep, but I would find them uncomfortable with their little stubby feet or whatever just poking me in the face. I feel a pillow would be so much easier and comfier. x3 Personally I think they're kinda sad, but I still wouldn't stop someone from getting one or try to make them feel bad about it. Glad to hear that. I can be quite sad, but I guess in my current situation it would help me out a lot, who knows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velcorn 279 December 28, 2015 Share December 28, 2015 There has been a pretty cute and slightly suggestive Twi pillowcase for a dakimakura which I really liked. It's just that I'd prefer a plushie looking like that instead of simply a pillow. Also, I prefer "normal" plushies of animals over cartoon or anime characters. I'm very happy to be with my dolphin plushie, Lucy <3 Anyway, dakimakuras are alright and if people enjoy them that's perfectly fine but they're nothing for me, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerGeekGuy 4,662 December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 I'll be honest, I think they're really creepy, especially since they're suggestive.

Spanish In Physician 295 December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 I own one. Personally there really isn't anything wrong with it. I am a cuddler and find it hard to sleep without being able to spoon. Being single means nobody to cuddle with. So I bought one and I have been able to sleep a lot better. I'd post a pick of it, but the sleeve itself was a gift and a rather suggestive one. I still love it though. <3 2 Sig by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlight 7,286 December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 They're fine. I wouldn't mind owning one/several but not until I move out and live alone ofc. I don't even mind the NSFW ones but I'd only go near the SFW ones tbh. matching setups with my bff pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefSandy 22 December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 They're just big pillows. They sell large body pillows at places like Wal-Mart and a pillowcase with your waifu on it doesn't magically transform em. They absorb and retain body heat quite nicely and are good to curl up with when ones partner isn't available. If you already own Pony merch you're already kinda weird to most people anyway. Don't worry about what other people think OP. 2 Rarity is Best Marshmallow I Am Full Of Words Bronyville Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven Celestii 9,385 December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 Dakimakuras are pretty much pure cringe material, though, I will say that i only really apply that to the nsfw ones. Safe ones aren't much worse, if at all, than plushies of ponies or Pokemon. It's just how they're always portrayed that give them the über cringe effect. It's all cool to have virtual crushes and items of said crush, but once that's taken outside your house and into the real world (or broadcasted out to it) is where it becomes bothersome and weird. That said, even with how odd or sad it is to want to have a proper relationship with a 2d character printed on a giant pillow, if it makes you happy then by all means go be happy. You snuggle the fuck outta that pillow and never let go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being single as well means that I end up cuddling my plushies on a night I think I'm going to have to get one as cuddling my plushies is wearing them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
