Sex Doll Forum

So I haven't been intimate with a woman for almost 8 years. This is partly because I have a history of anxiety, depression and performance issues. I recently straightened out some of my priorities in life and improved my anxiety and depression. I want to get back in the dating game to find a girlfriend and eventually a life partner.
Another reason I didn't resolve the relationship and why I didn't have sex with a woman in 8 years was because I was addicted to masturbation and porn since I was a kid and after a few rough breaks it basically took over my life and All my free time. Later I realized it was because I used it to escape anxiety and depression. I've been masturbating and watching porn for so long in my life and so often that I believe my brain has gotten used to watching and thinking about sex over the years because this activity is designed to make me feel like an observer The identity of watching from a distance rather than a participant. My brain, and therefore my dick, seems to only be able to get adaptive excitement from a digital screen and holding my hand.
About a month ago I tried to hook up with a woman and no matter what we tried, I couldn't get an erection, not even blowjob. It's worrying, not to mention embarrassing. Immediately after I tried masturbation, I was able to get an erection. So I think before I start dating women again, I need to get serious about my addiction and figure out how to reset my brain to respond to real physical touch and move my body when I wake up instead of letting My hands are still, making the only movement.
I've never played with dolls before, but I've always been an admirer. I came up with a plan to try to eliminate or seriously reduce my porn consumption and try to only be intimate with dolls, trying to retrain my mind and body to be able to respond and really enjoy the physical act of sex, and be there when the time comes to finally get along with A real woman performed together. I think a realistic doll that looks a little heavy and can pose would allow me to practice different positions and get me used to the physical exertion required during real sex. Plus, my brain will be trained to deal with a person and be a performer, not an endless hodgepodge of women and an observer of every conceivable sexual scene. I feel like a far cry from gender and my role in it.
Do you think this plan is feasible? Will replacing masturbation and pornography with sex dolls really help me mentally and physically prepare enough to be able to successfully start having sex with real women?
