There's 1 character, and only 1 character I'd get.

Lucy, Elfen Lied.

Unfortunately to my knowledge, such a dakimakura does not exist.

Being upfront about your love for Anime is all well and good, but would you tell a girl on your first date with her that you have a lifesized pillow with a 2D character on it? You have to have some sense in what to reveal at a later date.

It doesn't matter what you really use the pillow for, the issue is perception. When someone who doesn't understand our group is first introduced to it they assume things like hug pillows and cardboard cutouts are used for sexual desires, perhaps as mastubatory aids, perhaps as simple representations of sexual desires. You don't want a girl to walk out or think you're a freak the first time, you only reveal the truly shocking things about yourself over time. I hate to tell you but the majority of people view us as weird people with a strange fettish, would you really avoid introducing a new person who may be interested in you simply because they dont accept everything about you the second you meet? That's naive and slightly unrealistic.


If it's an issue of perception, then I simply won't date women who automatically think I'm trying to substitute a pillow for a real girl. Why would I want to continue dating a woman who would reject me based on the false assumption that I use a pillow to substitute for a real relationship? That's absurd. And, no, I wouldn't simply avoid new people because they don't accept everything I'm into right off the bat, however, at the point where myself and my hypothetical girlfriend intend to have sex in my room, I think it'd be quite reasonable for her to 1: Have seen my room and the contents therein before, and 2: Know I own a dakimakura and not have left me over something so stupid.


you simply aren't being realistic. Your standards are too high if you think you "simply wont date" them and it will be harder for you to find someone. Years of chasing after girls has taught me to make the situation I'm in work if it's something I really want. I don't think anyone ever advised you to never show her all your hobbies (LQ might have but i think it was more in jest at first) and personal effects, it just takes time for average people to accept something new. I did get lucky with steph though, we share 80% of the same hobbies.

@kgods, I have dated many girls who didnt like anime, while I was a very big fan of it.


Question: Are you and LostQuartet a "item?"

Sorry if thats too personal, I just get the feeling that you two are close.


Just got back from quick shower so haven't made super long replies to everyone else yet, but yes, we're together.

I see what you're saying, and while I agree that it'd be harder to find someone, I'd assert that it's unreasonable to outright reject someone whom you've been dating long enough to consider, intend, and move to execute intimate sexual maneuvers with in that person's bedroom, simply because of a misconception about a piece of character merchandise they own.


depends how quick it takes for sexual situations to initiate. Ive been with a few girls and for the most part around the age of 20+ most will allow you to initiate after a few dates. I can tell you the average girl will be shocked to find something anime/manga related if you're doing something after the 3rd date(from experience).

Maybe it's just my inexperience talking, then. But, as I said before, I'm pretty public about my enjoyment of anime and such. Being that I'm public about it, on a personal level, I'd find it unreasonable for a girl to reject me based on my ownership of a dakimakura, because by that time, she will, without a doubt, be aware of my enjoyment of anime and such.

I'd still count 3 as a rather large number. I'd most certainly considre it above average. Most other Hentia/anime sites are full of 13 year old boys and weeaboos so there is a considerable lack of long term couples.

On Topic: I don't think I'll ever buy a dakimakura. Its a little too "hardcore," even for me.

Shashin I <3 dakimakura covers
15 years ago
As an avid dakimakura cover collector, reading through this topic was fairly disappointing. D:

Couldn't even really say how I got into it; bought one out of curiosity and (very quickly) moved onto buying more. Despite their "intended" purpose, I don't use them for such. Even so, there's no way in hell I'd ever let me friends/family in on my collection, even those that know I enjoy hentai. Same goes for any female companions; depending on their interest in subculture I would either hide it entirely or slowly reveal it over time (probably reserved for those that have an interest in hentai themselves... so probably not ever.) I readily acknowledge that it's a strange niche in a hobby that's already an acquired taste to begin with, but hell, it makes me happy.

I can see the comparison between dakimakura and wall scrolls, but unfortunately unless you have no one ever entering your area/don't give a damn what they think of you, you're fairly limited in choice due to the erotic nature of most. Still, if you really like a particular character and can find one, they make for great decoration if that's what you're going for.

On another note, while I stand by that I've never used a dakimakura for certain purposes, I will say that the material used is absolutely fantastic. I do have a cover on my Cospa dakimakura and it truly surpasses any other pillow I've used. Cover is velvety smooth and the dakimakura makes for an excellent pillow. Only downside (other than having a half fully naked illustration on your pillow) is that the material can get damn hot in the summer months.

In short: I collect dakimakura covers, and love it. Yet I fully understand why most would judge me as a pervert (not that I'm denying it, but you know what I mean) and at the very least, be wary around me or consider me a complete nerd (once again, not denying it.) Thus, while I'm not ashamed of my collection, I'm not exactly going to tell everyone I have a pillow case that cost me X with a naked cartoon character on it. While it would be great to find a companion who would accept the hobby, or even enjoy it herself, it's not very likely and I might be willing to settle for less. But if you read this and you do happen to be a female with a love for dakimakura covers, feel free to PM me, and we can discuss our passion. ^^

Hmm this caused quite an uproar.
I don't think people should complain if OTHER people want one. I'm pretty confident that we all know the level of dakimakura and what it is. No it's not something that will impress anyone, it is for your own personal/private use.
Stop complaining and grow a pair.
