A newbie with a dozen of questions

Post by curiousswede »

Hi! I'm a 29 yo curious Swede about this whole (sex) doll thing. I replied on page 93 in the forum thread about "How did you find your way to TDF?" with more info.

I have done my research and I have the following questions so I know what I should and should not expect for my possibly first full body (sex) doll:

1. Is there a difference between "Solid TPE" and "TPE" or are they the same thing?

2. It seems to me that (solid) TPE is the best material when you want sex primarily?

3. I read about something called "Platinum Silicone". Is this really a "high quality silicone" material or is it just a marketing term to justify higher prices?

4. Can you use silicone-based lubricant for (solid) TPE or must you only use water-based lubricant as with most male sex toys?

5. How well does "additional heating" really work if you add it to your selected (sex) doll during purchase? Can you really reach reasonable temperature that mimics body temperature?

6. I realize that there are several vendors here so it is probably a touchy subject to ask for direct links to manufacturers on AliExpress and Alibaba? If I could find direct manufacturer it would be better for my budget which is around 1200 $ including shipping.

7. One of my biggest concerns is the eyes in face. I realize that they (the heads) are just different heads with different wigs and eye colors that you can change. Can you adjust the eyes (by touch the eyeballs) when you receive the doll to make it look like less like "soulless staring"? A few dolls seem to have what I consider to be "perfect" faces regarding beauty and also not triggering "uncanny valley" for me.

8. Two of my torsos with faces (around 75-80 cm in length) that I first used and then threw away after 1 use bcuz I felt so "weird" and they were really low quality (no skeleton, no back+butt and floppy) had breasts for breast sex. But! When I used water-based lubrication on what I believe were D-cup my penis would just be pushed up and too slippy to stay between the breasts. If I invest in a (sex) doll with E-Cup or even F-Cup, might I be able to hold my penis between the tits instead of slipping upwards due to the lubricant?

9. It seems to me that the very first thing you must do when receiving your solid TPE (sex) doll is to wash it and apply corn starch powder before first use? Is this to remove chemical odors from the manufacturing?

10. What I learned with my small 20-24 lbs torsos is that it is really annoying to clean them after use. So, I would go with a removable vagina. Does it have the same texture/feeling as the in-built vagina does?

11. Would anyone be willing to point me to a thread here about buying (solid) TPE (sex) dolls on AliExpress or Alibaba, or send me a private message about a direct manufacturer that vendors use? (assuming this is allowed ofc!)

12. The biggest mental challenge I have had with sex toys like fleshlights and sex torsos is my feeling after use which is, "what am I doing? I should be getting it on with real ladies". I am curious to hear if other people had similar thoughts and/or feelings and who changed it after a couple of sessions with a solid TPE full body sex doll with additional heating and sexy lingerie that possibly added to the realism? Did the sex "get better" after a couple of uses as you got used to your new (sex) doll? What did you do to improve its realism so you could actually feel more sexually satisfied instead of like a "loser" which I felt with fleshlights and small sex torsos?

There you go, 12 questions or "a dozen questions" if you will! Thx for reading all this and thx even more for replying to all questions you wanted and/or could reply to! I am very excited to get these questions answered so I can get a better picture of what to expect and not to expect from a (sex) doll compared to fleshlights and small torsos with faces.

1. Same thing
3. This is a real thing but be careful of cheap knock off TPE dolls that advertise as Platinum Silicone
4. Water base only
5. I'm super hot blooded so I like her cold. I was even thinkin of getting a fridge to stick her in before bed time so she keeps me cooler during the summer.
9. You are washing to remove the mold release agent
12. The sex does get better. It is very awkward at first but is extremely fun when you start figuring out how to move her around. And small things like lipstick, lingerie, wig, and even a bit of eyeliner can all make a huge difference.

3. "Platinum Silicone" dolls are made from Silicone and are priced higher. The silicone Doll manufacturers that I am aware of are DS Dolls, Sanhui and Realdoll. They may be others, but these are the ones that most doll owners buy.

5. I haven't purchased the additional heating option on dolls because that's just another thing that will stop working eventually. You'll find most vendors don't recommend the heating option due to it's reliability. Personally I would save your money and not purchase the additional heating option.

6. I recommend going through a vendor for your first doll, as vendors will help you to find the right doll for you. Since you live in Sweden try Sandro at http://dollstudio.org/.

7. You can move the eyes on all doll heads. It’s just a case of gently touching the eyes and then moving the eyes.

8. Sorry, never tried this. I would assume the bigger the boobs the less likely slipping would happen.

10. The removable vagina has the same texture as the in-built vagina. I can confirm cleaning is easier with removable vagina. There some posts here on how to clean in-built vagina, so maybe search for those posts as well before making an informed decision.

11. Don’t go direct. Go through a vendor!

12. I felt the same way with my dolls. It did feel weird at first. When you dress the doll up and do sexy poses with the doll, then the sex gets better. I would also say that since the doll is based on a real human woman (arms, legs, head, feet, hands etc..) the sex is better compared to fleshlights and sex torsos, which are there to help you masturbate, but a doll can also be a companion.

Hey Curiousswede, I'm pretty new here myself and probably cant answer too many of your questions but in regards to #7 I'd check out this thread here, as far as I'm aware loads of users on here order new eyes from Mannequinfan and quite a lot of the professional photo shoots more than likely have his custom eyeballs than the original ones provided with the doll.

viewtopic.php?p=696384#p696384

Hope that helps

Conflicting thoughts during and after sex can be an issue for months. I had a lot of female issues that I needed to work out, but the dolls completely helped. I've been able to drop all resentment to them (except one who I can't get rid of).

Now I'm in a place where I can really appreciate my dolls and sex is very enjoyable. It's even to the point where I prefer their sex over any one.

You do need a little imagination and give them the personality that is ideal for you. This might even sound weird or corny at a pre doll phase, but it does develop naturally anyway.

Even when you watch porn, you can tell how much the girl is into it and pick up on some personality traits. Many even have interviews that reveal their back story.

When you can spend an hour just kissing a doll and it makes you happy all day, you know you've made a connection. With each of my wm heads, the lips are so nice that I seriously feel like they are kissing back. When my lip is between theirs, there is a tug and it is life like to me. I kiss 3 or 4 dolls each day.

I love moving the eyes around. Especially having them look to the sides. Or even replacing the eyes with richer or fun colors. This is a must in half the cases.

If you are complete honest with yourself....

Stick to your #12. Doll will be no different man!!
You'll save a load of money. Stick with real women. I feel better with them.

My GF just discovered mine on Friday. We've only been dating a few months. She was not messed up about it. But she just asked me, Do you have sex with that? I've not in a while, and I did answer her truthfully.
She did think doll was very cute, but felt the doll looked young. I'm 50 and my GF is 48. I see her point.

I'm expecting her to tease me about it now.
We'll see if she sticks around. But I am starting to feel my dolls days are over. Glad I didn't blow a whole lot of money on one.

Follow your gut. If you feel a bit of shame with hand helds or torso, dolls may not be much better.

Hi! And WELCOME!

1. Is there a difference between "Solid TPE" and "TPE" or are they the same thing?


TPE is TPE is TPE and it's solid.

2. It seems to me that (solid) TPE is the best material when you want sex primarily?


It's good but soft silicones are good too.

3. I read about something called "Platinum Silicone". Is this really a "high quality silicone" material or is it just a marketing term to justify higher prices?


It's a silicone formulation which is cured with a platinum catalyst rather than the old tin catalyst or an acetic acid chemistry.

4. Can you use silicone-based lubricant for (solid) TPE or must you only use water-based lubricant as with most male sex toys?


Silicone based lubricant must not be used at all. Baby oil can be used with TPE to some extent but water based lube for either TPE or silicone

5. How well does "additional heating" really work if you add it to your selected (sex) doll during purchase? Can you really reach reasonable temperature that mimics body temperature?


A friend swears by Z-One heated dolls.

6. I realize that there are several vendors here so it is probably a touchy subject to ask for direct links to manufacturers on AliExpress and Alibaba? If I could find direct manufacturer it would be better for my budget which is around 1200 $ including shipping.


DON'T go near those sites. Lots of chances to be ripped off. Look at SY for good value and go through TDF vendors if not direct from factory.

7. One of my biggest concerns is the eyes in face. I realize that they (the heads) are just different heads with different wigs and eye colors that you can change. Can you adjust the eyes (by touch the eyeballs) when you receive the doll to make it look like less like "soulless staring"? A few dolls seem to have what I consider to be "perfect" faces regarding beauty and also not triggering "uncanny valley" for me.


DS dolls have eyes which move easily. Most TPE dolls have eyes which can move tool.

8. Two of my torsos with faces (around 75-80 cm in length) that I first used and then threw away after 1 use bcuz I felt so "weird" and they were really low quality (no skeleton, no back+butt and floppy) had breasts for breast sex. But! When I used water-based lubrication on what I believe were D-cup my penis would just be pushed up and too slippy to stay between the breasts. If I invest in a (sex) doll with E-Cup or even F-Cup, might I be able to hold my penis between the tits instead of slipping upwards due to the lubricant?


This is probably why people go for very large boobs. SY167 might be your answer

9. It seems to me that the very first thing you must do when receiving your solid TPE (sex) doll is to wash it and apply corn starch powder before first use? Is this to remove chemical odors from the manufacturing?


Just powdering. Washing isn't necessary in my opinion

10. What I learned with my small 20-24 lbs torsos is that it is really annoying to clean them after use. So, I would go with a removable vagina. Does it have the same texture/feeling as the in-built vagina does?


Go removable

11. Would anyone be willing to point me to a thread here about buying (solid) TPE (sex) dolls on AliExpress or Alibaba, or send me a private message about a direct manufacturer that vendors use? (assuming this is allowed ofc!)


Scream!

12. The biggest mental challenge I have had with sex toys like fleshlights and sex torsos is my feeling after use which is, "what am I doing? I should be getting it on with real ladies". I am curious to hear if other people had similar thoughts and/or feelings and who changed it after a couple of sessions with a solid TPE full body sex doll with additional heating and sexy lingerie that possibly added to the realism? Did the sex "get better" after a couple of uses as you got used to your new (sex) doll? What did you do to improve its realism so you could actually feel more sexually satisfied instead of like a "loser" which I felt with fleshlights and small sex torsos?


Cuddling a doll can be great, and I like falling asleep inserted. Not very practical or sociable for two real humans.

4. The rumors of TPE and silicon incompatibility are greatly exagerated. According to
http://www.graco.com/content/dam/graco/ ... deEN-B.pdf
Silicon and TPE have excellent compatibility, while silicon oil and TPE is slightly inferior (B). It is true that petroleum oil also has excellent compatibility with TPE, so vaseline might be better lubricant than silicon from durability perspective. Or water based one (as soon as you know what chemicals are in that water).

6. $1200 budget would buy you not 1 but 2 dolls at aliexpress. It is not difficult to find 140cm doll around $500 and 160+cm around $700 (shipping included). So, use search function (type "sex doll", duh!), and order the results by price, number of orders, rating, etc. Have fun!

10. Femdom is a compromise between insert and built-in. It kills the sensation a little, but cleanup is easy.

You didn't mention an important feature: choose standing option.

I read in another thread that a light coating of the insides of a tpe doll with Vaseline can help prevent water absorption and prevent mold/backteria. I plan to “season” mine in this way when it arrives, using a massager to make sure the coat makes it all the way inside.

As far as washing, is Dove soap okay to use or is there a better soap?

Over-frequent application of vaseline can make the TPE more than flexible . . . and fall apart.

Answer to number 12. To me a lot has to do with what point in life you introduce yourself to Sex Dolls, Toys, Etc. A younger person is probably going to have a totally different attitude toward the subject than someone older. You could Also say that someone's life experiences can also be a factor. LIke mentioned before if you are Feeling uneasy with smaller Torso Dolls & Toys, the feeling may not change with bigger Dolls...If you were to pursue the Hobby later in life your opinion may be different...
