What is a sex doll?
Also known as a love doll, a sex doll can be described as a human imitation used for sexual gratification. Depending on the motivation, a sex doll can be used either to enhance masturbation or for companionship.
And while sex dolls were previously known to be nothing more of lifeless, plastic imitations, designers have upped their game with realistic, full-size models that are articulated with flexible metal skeletons and with a realistic face and orifices. In fact, you can now get a custom made sex doll to meet your exact taste.
History and Use
Going with the history books, sailors in the 15th century were known to use sex dolls to deal with their boring extended sea voyages. Canvas and sailcloth materials were used to make crude dolls which were then passed around the crew to enjoy throughout their stay in the sea. And though the ‘dame de voyage’ were not the most hygienic and thrilling dolls, they were common with European sailors, which explains the Japanese term ‘Dutch Wives’ used to describe cheap sex dolls.
In the 1940s, the Nazis invented sex dolls to deter their troops from having sex whilst invading Europe. Developed under the project name ‘Borghild Field-Hygiene,’ these inflatable sex dolls were issued to all men to prevent STDs among the troops. It was until the mid-twentieth century when mass production of sex dolls kicked off with most sex shops stocking blow-up dolls.
And though PVC was the most common material used to make the sex dolls, designers introduced silicone and rubber models in the 1990s for more realistic textures. It is around this time that Real Dolls, an American company produced a solid latex sex doll which was much durable and flexible. Howard Stern then ordered one of the dolls for review and had sex with it on air. This not only started a worldwide conversation around the topic but it also boosted the sale of sex dolls.
Asian designers came in recently and identified a market gap which they filled by producing advanced sex dolls at a much affordable price than the US and Europe. Currently, Asia is the world’s leading producer of lifelike silicone and TPE sex dolls.
Types of sex dolls
Luckily, today’s sex doll market features some of the most realistic human imitations you can ever think of. Unlike a few decades ago when our parents had to settle for cheaply made inflatables, advancement in technology has opened the market for realistic models that look and feel more like the real thing, if not better. Here are some of the common classifications of sex dolls;
By Material
Silicone and TPE are the two most used materials to make sex dolls. You can check out the full comparison between these materials here, but here’s a short brief on the pros and cons of each;
- TPE
They are more affordable, flexible, and lifelike than the silicone models. If you enjoy the sight of wobbling butt and boobs when having sex, TPE sex dolls will certainly be appealing to you. They are squishier and soft to touch, which means you can enjoy an ultra-realistic experience and out of this world sex positions.
However, TPE material is very sensitive to heat and also porous. This means that unlike silicone sex doll, TPE models cannot be integrated with heating functions to enhance the experience. Also, you’ll have to ensure you dry your TPE sex doll completely after cleaning because the material retains water and body fluids.
- Silicone
Unlike TPE sex dolls, silicone models are non-porous and very easy to clean and maintain in the long run. They are very resistant to heat which allows for installation of heating functions to enhance the experience while also allowing you to take a hot bath with your new girlfriend. Silicone’s firm nature means that your doll has a more realistic looking face and body parts and can withstand weight better than TPE models.
However, silicone sex dolls are less flexible than TPE sex dolls and come with a much higher price range.
By Height/Body
Based on height, a doll can be classified as either mini, small, medium, or adult-size. Sex dolls can also be categorized by their body type as either BBW sex dolls, Big booty sex dolls, Big tits sex dolls, Skinny sex dolls, among others. People have different and unique preferences with sex dolls and the variation helps to meet the ever-changing needs of the global market.
By Ethnicity
In order to meet everyone’s, taste and preference, sex doll designers have resorted to producing sex models that depict different cultures and ethnic groups around the world. Whether Caucasian, African, Asian, Russian, or any other group, your imaginations are not limited.
By Orifices
Depending on the size and price of a sex doll, you’ll either get one, two, or three orifices to play with. And while we’re all wired differently, the more the orifices, the better! Buying a sex doll with a vagina, anus, and mouth allows you to enjoy sex just like you would with a woman. The orifices are designed differently to provide a unique texture and structure. You can also choose whether to have one with a detachable or non-removable vagina. And while a removable option is much easier to clean, it can always be customized to meet your needs.
How to choose a sex doll?
As pointed out earlier there are different motivations of buying a sex doll and the ideal one depends on your specific motivation. For instance, you can be buying a sex doll because you’re disabled and is in a way disadvantaged in the dating world. Also, you could be buying a sex doll to satisfy your needs when your wife is travelling. Or it could be that you want a lifelong partner in a sex doll. In all three cases, there are unique considerations to make regarding the amount of money to spend, the flexibility of the doll, and size. So, here are some of the tips that will guide you when picking a sex doll;
The Material Used
There are many materials used by designers to make sex dolls. However, we recommend silicone and TPE as the go-to sex doll materials because they are hypoallergenic, phthalate-free, easy to maintain, and very durable. Silicone is non-porous and resistant to heat which makes cleaning blissful and allows for the addition of heating functions to the doll. On the other hand, TPE is more life-like and affordable than silicone. However, the material is porous which makes cleaning a bit of a headache and isn’t as resistant to heat.
The specific material you go for depends on the amount of money you’re willing to spend as well as how you intend to use your sex doll. We recommend silicone if you have the extra cash and want a low-maintenance option, but TPE is also great if you have a limited budget and want a more lifelike feel.
The Size of the doll
Men are visual and uniquely tailored to pick certain aspects in a woman and ignore others. This is why you might be having a friend who likes thick and curvy women and another one who gets distracted whenever a tall and cute lady passes by. When it comes to sex dolls, people have different preferences and fetish fantasies they wish to fulfil.
And because sex dolls are limited in mobility, we suggest going for a doll that’s proportionate to your body size. And while you might be wanting a thicker ass and strong thighs, make sure you can comfortably move your sex doll in the house without a helping hand. Trust me. You don’t want to be stuck with an oversize model that you can’t lift from the ground.
Appearance of the Sex Doll.
Sex dolls come in different shapes and sizes, which makes them even more thrilling. And unlike women, you can actually choose what you want and leave what you don’t. Depending on your fantasy, you can choose certain aspects that you want your sex doll to have and rule out those you don’t. So, whether you want an Asian, Caucasian, or Black sex doll, there are plenty of options for you.
The Number of Orifices
Based on the size of sex doll and your preference, you can have all three orifices, a combination of two, or just one. Most sex dolls feature uniquely designed orifices to mimic the realistic feeling that you get when having sex with a woman. The orifices feature different textures and a set of rumples to provide a unique sensation. So, depending on the extent of fun you wish to have, pick the number of orifices you want for your sex doll.
Custom Features
Everyone wants to have the ability to choose what they want and what they don’t, especially when you’re buying a long-term investment like this one. Different sex doll manufacturers offer a varying degree of customization and you’re only limited by the amount of money you’re willing to spend and your imagination.
We recommend going for a seller who allows you to test your creativity while giving you guidance on what will work and what won’t. Common features that can be tailored to meet your need s include;
- Height
- Weight
- Breast size
- Eye color
- Butt size
- Skin color
- Head shape, among others
Flexibility
Both silicone and TPE materials are realistic and feel more like the real thing, but let’s face it, we all want a sex doll that can support different sex positions. This not only makes it more realistic, but it also makes the experience thrilling. So, ensure the sex doll you go for is fully articulated with a metal skeleton and movable joints.
The Pricing
Probably, the most important aspect after the materials used, the price of your sex doll ultimately determines whether or not you take the doll home with you. There are many designers and models available, which means the price range is wide but be wary of scammers looking to pounce on unsuspecting customers. Research beforehand to have an idea on the amount you’re expected to pay for the doll and don’t fall for the ‘. half the price’ gimmick.
How to clean a sex doll
Probably the simplest and most effective maintenance tip you’ll ever get, cleaning your sex doll should be the first thing you do after every use. To start with, remove parts like the wig, head, and vagina if applicable and clean them separately. Use the recommended cleaning agents and follow the steps advised by the manufacturer to enhance longevity and ensure your doll is always ready for you.
Remember, sex dolls are an investment and you ought to treat yours like one. Models that come with a removable vagina are easier to clean as you just have to pop it out and run warm water through it. If yours doesn’t have a removable orifice, get a small bulb syringe or douche to help you clean the inside hassle-free.
Pro Tip; Make sure you dry the sex doll properly after cleaning, especially for TPE material which is porous.
How to take care of your sex doll
Taking care of your sex doll encompasses regularly cleaning it to avoid buildup of dirt and keeping it out of harm’s way to avoid accidental falls or damage. Here are a few tips to help maintain your sex doll;
Inspect for damage
While this is very rare, your sex doll might get damaged without you knowing. So, make sure you inspect well wen cleaning to pick any damaged parts. Remember a torn material might harbor disease causing micro-organisms, especially with the porous material.
Pro Tip; Replace damaged sex dolls immediately.
Always Lube up
Unlike women, sex dolls do not have self-lubricating orifices which means you’ll have to use lubrication to allow for easy penetration and enhance the experience. Using the ideal lube regularly also minimizes the amount of pressure exerted and reduces unnecessary friction.
Always use water-based lube with your sex doll because it doesn’t degrade the material and is latex-friendly. You can also use a condom with your sex doll to make cleaning easier.
Do not submerge the head in the water.
As stressed earlier, remove the sex doll’s head and wig and clean them separately. Never should you submerge the head in water, but instead use a clean sponge and mild shampoo to wipe off dirt traces. Always go through the manufacturer’s guide and the recommended cleaning agents.
Invest in a storage unit
Just like you do when you’re buying a car, make sure you have a ‘garage’ for your new ride. The storage unit for your sex doll should be spacious, clean, comfortable, and dry. The unit acts as a hiding spot to help keep your relationship as discreet as you’d want and provides a haven for your sex doll. A good storage unit keeps your doll away from harm’s way and effectively improves longevity.
First Time Sex Doll Use- The Experience
Probably the most exciting part of the article, using your sex doll for the first time should feel amazing if you’ve followed this guide. And while this is one of the most asked questions regarding sex doll, most people still use the conventional ‘stick your dick inside’ approach. However, with recent advancements in technology and design, there’s a lot of things you can do with your new girlfriend.
To make it clear though, there’s no defined way of using a sex doll, and the ideal one solely depends on the type you have and your imagination. The fact that dolls are uniquely built just like humans makes rolling out universal usage recommendations very difficult, but we’ll highlight some of the general tips in this section.
It should be noted that having sex with a sex doll is an amazing experience with a good number of men preferring it over women. Just think of it this way- she’s always in the mood, never in her feelings, never nagging, no mood swings, should I continue? Here’s how it feels;
Kissing and Fondling
The realistic designing of sex dolls makes kissing very realistic with the inclusion of a tongue, teeth, and a deep throat. The mouth opens well and you can put your tongue and feel hers and it’s just like the real thing. TPE and silicone sex dolls are responsive to touch and very realistic with body parts made to resemble real women, which means you can expect soft, round, and squeezable boobies with perky nipples. This way, you can enjoy an out of this world experience kissing your doll teasingly as you fondle her boobs and caress her squishy butt.
How about Oral Sex?
Depending on the sex doll you go for and level of fun you’re looking for, oral sex can be thrilling. And while a love doll won’t simulate the suction of a real person, with a little heat and lube, your deep throat experience can feel just like a human mouth. The mouth is specially designed to feel tight with a dick inside and the doll’s 100% submission allows you to play with the in and out movements of their head for a thrilling experience.
Vaginal Sex
Just like with women, your sex doll’s vagina takes all the attention. Sex doll designers build vaginas off the real ones (mostly X-rated movie stars) which makes them 100% anatomically correct! And while your sex doll won’t wrap her legs around your waist as you pound her, you can be guaranteed of some outstanding Kama Sutra with these gems.
Silicone sex dolls are resistant to heat and can be warmed with vagina warmer or heated blanket for a more realistic experience. The material also retains the body heat for some time, which means you’ll enjoy a warm piece of ‘couchy’ for as long as you last. And though the sex doll doesn’t feel exactly like human flesh, it certainly is amazing.
The articulation of a metal skeleton and movable joints make the sex doll flexible and allows you to enjoy as many sex positions as your imagination can go. And with TPE and silicone being realistic and life-like, I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy the sight of wobbling boobs and butt cheeks as you pound your love doll from behind.
Anal Sex
One of the values of a sex doll is it allows you to curate your experience just like you want it. And just like the vagina, the doll’s anus is anatomically correct to stimulate the real feeling of anal sex. It’s a totally unique sensation from that of the vagina which makes the experience even more thrilling.
Whether you enjoy anal sex or just like dipping your thumb in her ass when you’re penetrating her from behind, you’ll definitely find a realistic sex doll to be amazing.
As you’ve seen, having sex with a sex doll is just as thrilling (if not more fun) as pounding a woman. So, make sure you get the ideal sex doll based on your needs and have fun. Remember, it’s better to cough a few more dollars for a purchase that you’ll enjoy for long rather than get a cheap option that will break down sooner than you thought.
The Best Lube
As emphasized earlier, always use water-based lube on sex dolls. Why? Because, unlike oil and silicone-based lubes, this one does not react with the sex doll material. This means that your sex doll won’t lose its beauty and glitter in the long-run. So, make sure you get a quality water-based lube to use on your sex doll.
