Teen living doll came out as asexual after brutal online trolling, claiming she has ‘no craving’ for sex
Amelthia Bussian, 19, from Cananda, doesn’t experience feelings of lust like other people do, and doesn’t intend to actively look for a partner
A TEENAGE living doll who came out as asexual after being subject to online trolling claims she will never have sex.
Amelthia Bussian, 19, from British Columbia, Canada, doesn’t have feelings of lust like other people do, and doesn’t intend to actively look for a partner.
The sales associate decided to share her sexual preference on Instagram after receiving lewd comments from followers.
“I don’t find it affects my relationships too much,” said Amelthia.
“Everyone is different; for me, I find it just prolongs the process of falling in love I guess, as I don’t have feelings of lust like other people do.
“I’ve had one boyfriend in the past and he was very supportive of me, even now he’s still one of my best friends.
“My friend had set me up with my last boyfriend because she thought I needed one, more than me actually wanting one.
“I’m grateful for her doing that as he is still my best friend. I liked being in a relationship, I just feel that it’s not the most important thing in the world.

“I’ve also never had a crush on someone and it took me what would be considered a long time to ‘fall in love’ with my previous boyfriend.
“As far as a relationship in the future, I won't go looking for one. I don't need or crave anything, I'm happy just having my friends to hang out with.”
She added: “Asexual for me means that I don’t have an interest or need for the more intimate side of a relationship.
“I had taken my asexual preference down from my Instagram profile while I was in a relationship, and I found I went from getting no harassment to a lot of messages, asking lewd and inappropriate questions which I didn’t appreciate.
“So I decided it was best to keep it up there and things did go back to normal.”
Amelthia grew up in a trailer park and her family didn’t have much money.
At school, she suffered with anxiety and began to wear colourful wigs to feel more confident.
Due to her porcelain skin and natural light blue eyes people often said she looked like a doll, so she decided to embrace the look. She now has 40 different hairpieces.
“Ultimately, my goal never was to become a living doll, it was just to dress like I want to dress,” she said.
“Along the way, I was told I looked like a doll and I’ve kind of embraced it.
"I don’t do much to achieve my look; I’ve always been extremely pale, even when I don’t wear makeup.
“Some people think I have white face paint on, which is a bit weird. But it does help with the ‘doll aesthetic’.”
Amelthia would often skip school and go days without speaking to anyone before she overhauled her look.
“Now I talk a lot more and I can’t remember a day where I’ve gone out and not been told how cute I look or asked for a photo,” she said.
“It’s great to see the smiles people have when they look at me. It’s cute.
“I still don’t like showing skin, but I’ve really come to love wearing tights and dolls are usually quite covered as well, so it works out.
“Sometimes people will ask ‘what are you all dressed up for?’ or ‘who are you dressed up as?’ which is hard to answer because I’m just me, I’m not dressed up, that’s just how I dress.
“I don’t mind as I understand that I don’t look as ‘normal’ as everyone else, I guess. Ultimately, I just hope that everyone can get to a point where they feel comfortable with themselves.
“They should be comfortable enough to dress how they want, be what they want, and live the way they want.
“Life is about having fun and if you want to have bright pink hair – then have bright pink hair. Don’t worry about what other people think. What matters is what you think.”
