What made you decide to purchase a sex doll in the first place?
I first tried a masturbator toy and then became interested in full size sex dolls. I found out about them by searching online and finding a Canadian sex doll warehouse that ships them.
How much did you pay for the doll altogether including tax and shipping?
The original price was $4300 plus tax, but I got it damaged for less than $3000. Shipping was also expensive since it came from China.
You mentioned this sex doll is 2 years old. Did you buy it new or used?
I bought it new, but it had some slight skin damages that gave me a discount on the price.
What is the doll made out of and does it have an internal structure?
It has a metal skeleton padded with styrofoam to reduce the weight. The outer skin is made of silicone, which has a very realistic feel and texture.
What does the doll look like and what features appealed to you about this particular model?
I have some unedited photos posted on my profile. She is very lifelike with a great body. I liked that she has G cup breasts while wearing a 32D bra size. Her body proportions are ideal to me.
Did you give the doll a name?
Yes, her name is Samantha.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how does intimacy feel compared to sex with a real woman or masturbation?
I would rate real vaginal sex as a 10, the doll as a 7, and masturbation as a 3. The doll feels very realistic but not exactly the same as human skin.
What is your favorite thing to do with the doll?
I enjoy dressing her up in different cosplay outfits and doing photoshoots. It’s fun coming up with costumes and poses for her.
How difficult is it to clean and maintain the doll after use?
It’s a bit of work but manageable. I use an antibacterial soap and water solution to wash the skin every month. The internal cavity needs to be douched out and dried after each use. Since she’s so heavy at 89lbs, posing and moving her around for cleaning takes some effort. Total cleanup time is around 20 minutes.
Do you view or use the doll as a substitute for a real romantic partner?
I don’t consider her a true substitute. I still hope to have a real relationship someday, but this doll satisfies my needs for now and helps me feel less lonely. I talk to her sometimes but don’t think of her as human.
What will you do with the doll if you eventually enter a relationship with a real woman?
I would keep it private from any future girlfriend or partner. I probably wouldn’t get rid of the doll since it was such a big investment, but I wouldn’t use it anymore if I was in a relationship.
Does any of your friends and family know about the doll?
Christ no, i wouldnt want em too
Do you have any other details to share about your experience owning and using a sex doll?
It has really improved my life in many ways. I don’t feel the need to pursue women just for sex anymore, so I can focus on improving myself and my mental health. Samantha satisfies my needs without any drama or responsibilities of dating. I think more guys should consider this option. The dolls have come a long way and provide an incredible experience if you get a high quality silicone model. I don’t regret my purchase at all.
