The reaction my doll fetishists showed were probably just as primal but somewhat more devious. The female equivalent would be a girl who fell in love with a man because of his Mercedes SLK and his bank account. There's a good way to become objectified and there's a bad way. This is the bad way.
Maybe the reason you didn't like the doll fetishists was because "the doll" isn't a "true" sexual persona for you. It's not that you object to making yourself look sexy, you just don't want to project the kind of sexy that isn't your kind of sexy.
