What to Expect as a First-Time Realistic Sex Doll Owner

It’s official! You’ve finally decided to take the plunge into realistic doll ownership, and you’re no doubt excited to find out firsthand what it’s all about. But whether you’ve gotten around to ordering your doll yet or not, it’s only natural to wonder what the whole experience will be like.

Will your doll live up to your expectations? How might she change your intimate life and relationship with sex moving forward? How much upkeep will she require? Here’s a closer look at what you can expect as a first-time doll owner, the better to prepare you for your experience.

Upkeep isn’t as hard as you might think.

If you’ve done much research on what it takes to be a good doll owner, then you’ve likely seen a lot of emphasis placed on cleaning and maintaining your doll. And yes, establishing and sticking to a consistent, thorough upkeep routine is a must.

Your doll needs to be cleaned and sanitized after every use, as well as regularly bathed and checked for signs of wear and tear. However, most doll owners fall into a groove quickly. The key is having the right tools on hand, like bulb irrigators for rinsing out your doll’s sexual openings and doll-safe toy cleaners that take some of the guesswork out of keeping things sanitary.

If you’re still shopping around, there are buying decisions you can make that will make cleaning and maintenance even simpler for you, as well. For instance, silicone is generally much more durable than TPE, so it’s easier to take care of. You can also consider buying a doll with removable openings that make post-coital cleanup a little easier.

You might form a genuine bond with your doll.

It goes without saying that owning a sex doll will make your sex life a lot less lonely. The realistic feeling and weight of a well-crafted doll really elevate even everyday solo sessions to a surprising level. However, so many doll owners find that their dolls make lovely companions in other ways, as well.

Cuddling with your doll for a while after sex can be incredibly comforting, as can taking her to bed with you to sleep next to through the night. Many doll owners find they love doing other things with their dolls, as well. They can make excellent companions when you’re in the mood to binge-watch Netflix or indulge in a movie marathon. And talking to your doll can be a great way to work through difficult emotions and situations.

You need a plan for compartmentalizing life with your doll.

Because of the sheer size of your doll, you’ll need to decide how open you want to be about your life as a sex doll owner. Some people are 100 percent comfortable just letting it all hang out, but don’t worry about it if that’s not your jam. Most people wouldn’t feel the need to tell others they like using a Fleshlight or a vibrator to add a little spice to their solo sessions, so there’s no real reason to feel pressured to tell others about your doll, either.

You do need a solid plan for discreetly storing your doll out of sight when and if you need to, though. After all, you may not care that much if your friends see your sex doll hanging out in a convenient corner during a visit, but you may feel differently when it’s your parents, your landlord, or a date. Every doll owner should own either a dedicated storage case or a proper hanging hook to take the guesswork out of conveniently moving or stashing your doll away without damaging her.

You just might evolve into a world-class lover.

Practice really does make perfect, and that’s just as much the case with burning up the sheets as it is anything else. Sex is a skill, and like any other skill, it can be honed and perfected. So don’t listen to naysayers that claim owning and using a sex doll ruins a person for traditional human-to-human sexual relationships. If anything, the opposite is true. Here are some great reasons why.

• A doll delivers a realistic experience that feels incredibly similar to sex with a real woman, making yours a great way to practice technique, build staying power, and so forth.
• Dolls give you a safe, judgment-free outlet for your fantasies, which can help you become more comfortable with your authentic sexual self – a key characteristic of great lovers.
• Having access to a doll lowers the likelihood that you’ll jump into the wrong relationship just for easy access to sex, meaning you’re more likely to stay single until the right situation comes along.

In other words, doll ownership is the type of thing that surprises people, often pleasantly. So don’t be afraid to take the plunge. You’ll be glad you did.
