What Is a Real Doll?

The sex doll industry has taken an interesting turn. People have come to view them for companionship, or even as a source of arty photographs.

Inside a nondescript building in a Southern California business park, RealDolls (or Abyss Creations) assembles some of the most expensive life-sized silicone sex dolls in the world. Owners give them names, dress them up, and share dozens of photos on an online forum.

Material

There are a number of different materials used to make real dolls. The two most common are silicone and TPE (elastomer thermoplastic), both of which offer unique advantages and benefits. Which one you choose will depend on your preferences and budget, as well as how much time you can dedicate to the maintenance of your sex doll.

Real dolls can be made of many materials, but the most important factor is how soft and realistic they feel. Choosing the right material is also important because it will determine how much jiggling your sex doll will have and how easily she can be cleaned and sterilized.

Dolls can be made from either celluloid or paper mache, but celluloid is considered to be the first real doll. It is lightweight, durable, and can look very realistic when molded. Early celluloid dolls were expensive, so they were largely reserved for wealthy people and were often used as showpieces rather than playthings.

There are also composition dolls, which are a mixture of glue and sawdust. These are similar to paper mache, but more durable. There are also hard plastic dolls, which feel like rubber and were popular in the 40s and 50s. Today, most sex dolls are made from real doll TPE or silicone, which is much more flexible than paper mache and has a skin-like texture. They are also durable, water resistant and hypoallergenic.

Appearance

Real dolls are made of silicone and other materials to resemble the appearance, texture, and weight of human bodies. They can be used for a variety of purposes, from companionship to art. They can be made in a variety of shapes and skin tones, and can be customized with options like hair, clothing, and makeup. They are often shipped in discreet packaging with no identifying information on the label. Real dolls have been the subject of controversy, with some people arguing that they dehumanize sex and can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle for those who use them. Others argue that they can provide companionship for those who are lonely or have trouble forming relationships in real life.

The popularity of reborn dolls has led to the development of an entire industry, including manufacturers of supplies and tools, as well as magazines, conventions, and forums dedicated to the hobby. Many reborners spend months or even years planning their dolls before they are finished, and some have spent as much as $1,600 on an individual doll.

Although the dolls are designed to be used for sex, some owners treat them as companions and even give them names and birthdays. The reborn doll shown above, for example, is named Chloe and responds to touch by turning her head from side to side. She is also capable of smiling and uttering a few words.

Mood

Dolls can spark feelings of happiness and pleasure when seen. They can also offer great practice when it comes to learning new ways to please a partner. The fact that they can be positioned in a variety of positions means that they are a good tool for working on body language. They can also help to build confidence in an owner, as they learn that they can perform sexually with their dolls.

RealDoll is a company that produces incredibly life-like sex dolls. You might have seen their work in the documentary Lars and the Real 18 cm Dildo Girl, in which a man gets a RealDoll to relieve his loneliness. Or perhaps you’ve seen them on the internet, where they are a common sight. RealDoll founder Matt McMullen says that he sees his creations as art, not toys.

The rise of realistic dolls has led to a lot of philosophizing about their ethical use, particularly in regards to dolls that resemble children. Some people believe that such dolls are a form of child sexual exploitation, and it’s not uncommon for those who own them to be prosecuted for sex crimes. Others argue that dolls are simply a psychologically safe outlet for individuals who may have difficulty forming relationships with real people. However, there’s still not much empirical research that explores the actual motivations and effects of sex doll ownership.

Body Temperature

Some sex dolls come with full-body heating systems to mimic body heat, and this feature is an excellent way to further blur the line between a sex doll and a real person. However, the heating system must be plugged in and should be used while the doll is lying down. Aside from the body heating, some companies offer a variety of other upgrades to enhance the doll’s realism. These extras include realistic body painting, freckles or scars, breathing systems, and even hair implants for the head and eyebrows.

One option for warming up a realistic sex doll is to take her for a sensual and erotic warm bath. However, it is important to keep in mind that a submersion in water can damage the doll’s body. This is because there could be water seeping into the body through tiny unnoticed skin cuts, screw cavities, or rust holes in the skeleton. It is also advisable to keep the time of the bathing session short and make sure that the doll is dried immediately afterward.

Manufacturers also produce male dolls, but these are often a disappointment in terms of appearance and quality. Despite the fact that they are supposed to be muscular, they usually have very little or no body fat and a quite unappetising face. Luckily, there is an alternative: Rosemary Doll offers a wide selection of male dolls that appear more realistic and have a surprisingly appealing look.
