number of holes

    Most dolls have three holes: vagina, anus, and mouth. The vagina is usually the main hole used in masturbation. The vagina and anus are often exactly the same, except that the anus is on the back side of the doll and generally less interesting than the front. For standard and some deluxe dolls, the mouth opening has a sharp edge where the hard plastic face’s mouth lips meet the mouth sleeve, making the mouth unuseable for masturbation. Some dolls have only two or sometimes even only one opening. Some deluxe dolls have a nicely sculpted closed mouth rather than an usable open mouth. Some deluxe dolls have molded latex vagina and/or anus.

    The vaginal opening of cheap dolls are often poorly made, with sharp edges at the opening of the sex holes that make the masturbation experience painful, and can rub your penis raw or even cut it open. Sometimes standard dolls have one or more painful holes. It is rare for a deluxe doll to have any painful holes.

    All you need for a doll to be useful is for any one of its holes to be comfortable. More comfortable holes increase your options for choice in sexual activities.

    Cheap and standard dolls have a simple vaginal opening and sleeve. Standard dolls might have pink vinyl pussy and/or anal sleeves and/or a painted bush. Some deluxe dolls have latex artificial vaginas, with inner and outer lips, clit, clit hood, and pussy mound, (some with battery powered vibrators) mounted into the doll. The very best stand-alone artificial vaginas are still better than the best doll-based artificial vaginas, but not by much.

    On cheap and standard (and some deluxe) dolls, the anal sleeve is a duplicate of the vaginal sleeve. You just turn the doll over. Sometimes the pussy sleeve will be pink vinyl and the anal sleeve will be the same color as the rest of the body. Some deluxe dolls have a latex anus.

    In some deluxe dolls, the molded latex pussy and anus both share the same tube. Usually molded latex pussies and assholes have textured sleeves with little bumps. Some deluxe dolls have vibrating pussies or anuses.

    Some dolls have water filled vaginas. The inner wall of the vaginal sleeve is the same as on cheap and standard dolls (sometimes colored pink), but there is a second inner wall and a plug in the lower back. You can fill up the surrounding sleeve with water. This allows you to adjust the pressure of the inner sleeve without over-inflating the doll, maximizing personal pleasure.

    A new “feature” of some dolls is a “virgin seal”. This is a plastic seal over an opening (usually the pussy and ass) that can be pulled off. The virgin seal supposedly guarantees that a doll has never been used before (not a serious risk, as it is illegal to sell used dolls), but presents the problem that removing the seal usually leaves behind a rough edge that makes use of the hole potentially very painful.

surface material

    Inflatable dolls are a fancy masturbation device. The number one problem with dolls is that they don’t last very long. The best ones last a month or two, and the cheap ones last a day or two.

    The two basic kinds of failure are: (1) slow leak and (2) popping. Generally leaks and pops occur on the seams of doll. Leaks usually occur in seams that get stress, such as the seams of the vagina or anus.

    You can locate a slow leak by filling a bath tub full of water and immersing an inflated doll. The air bubbles will show you the location of the leak. You can patch the leak, but if the leak is in a vaginal or anal seam, the rough edges of the patch will render the hole useless.

    You can extend the life of your doll by making sure that you never over-inflate. You can also avoid any positions that put any doll parts or the doll body under pressure, such as the classic “missionary” guy-laying-on-top of the doll position. The “missionary” position is one of the more fun positions, as the doll will have a nice bounce and the position is relaxing, but using the “missionary” position will definitely decrease the lifetime of your doll.

    “Just what I was about to finish the first encounter with a merry big bang anyway, she preceded me, and burst open at her stomach seam.*” —ExplorerGuy; E-Mail; April 13, 2001

    * This is why you shouldn’t lay on top of the inexpensive dolls — they can’t hold the weight. Don’t put your body weight on cheap dolls, only the more expensive thick vinyl plastic, latex, or solid dolls can support the weight of an adult.

    Dolls with printed weight limits are stronger than ordinary dolls, and last longer. The higher the rated weight limit, the stronger the doll and the longer she will last.

    “The dolls sold for over $100 hold about 250 to 300 pounds. The dolls sold for under $100 hold about 200 to 250 pounds.” —Convergence Inc: Love Doll FAQ

    Most inflatable dolls are blue-eyed blonde white girls, but a small number of dolls are themed to a particular race or ethnicity. With the exception of high quality Japanese dolls, non-white dolls are mostly on the low end of quality and price. Black dolls have dark “skin” material and faces painted and/or molded to look African. Oriental dolls have faces and eyes painted and/or molded to look Asian. Hispanic dolls dolls have Latina features.

    The Aphrodite series (Aphrodite Fantasy Doll, Aphrodite Bending Fantasy Doll, Aphrodite Sitting Fantasy Doll) has an unusual plastic used for her skin. Although no plastic is “life-like”, this plastic feels much more skin like than normal doll plastic, and it has the great characteristic that when it is wet it gets real smooth, preventing the plastic burns on your arms, legs, and stomach that you sometimes get from most dolls.

overall body shape

    Most inflatable dolls are designed to allow “missionary position” masturbation. With a stand-alone artificial vaginas or pumps or other devices, you have to hold the device in your hands. An inflatable doll provides a “stand” for the artificial vagina.

    Almost all dolls have the general shape of a woman supine on her back, with her legs slightly spread and her arms cocked in an imitation of a hug. This form factor is fine if you intend to lay on top of your doll and fuck her pussy “missionary style” or turn her over and fuck her ass. There is not enough bend in a doll’s legs to allow for “doggie style” fucking or any other sexual position.

    Some dolls are “bendable”. This means they are already in the shape for “doggie style” fucking, with their legs bent and their ass in the air. Depending on the exact shape, it may be possible to gently spread a bendable doll’s legs and fuck her “missionary style”. Depending on the exact shape, it may be possible to fuck her from a seated position.

    There are also a few special position dolls molded into other shapes: seated, bondage, etc.

positions

• Supine (on the back): The classic “fuck me” doll position: body straight, legs straight and slightly spread, arms bent forward.
• Bending (doggie-style): The doggie-style position: body on all fours in doggie style position, legs bent forward at the hips and backwards at the knees (doggie-style), arms cocked forward at the shoulder and raised at the elbows (doggie-style). The head is sometimes facing straight and sometimes turned to the side.
• Kneeling: The kneeling submissive position: body straight, legs straight at hips and bent backwards at the knees (kneeling), arms raised over the head with wrists crossed.
• Sitting: The seated position: body seated, legs bent forward with ankles crossed in seated position, arms either over the head with wrists crossed or bent forward in classic “fuck me” doll position.

• Spread Eagle: The spread eagle position, legs bent at hips and knees with legs widely spread for easy access to genitals, arms bent forward.

    “I have tried the a href="./letha.html" onMouseOver="window.status='Letha Weapons';return true">Letha Weapons doll. … I found only one major problem, which is probably inherent in most of these dolls. No woman I ever saw makes love with legs shooting out straight like broomsticks (unless her butt plug shorted). They bend their knees to give the male access. Letha doesn’t. Her straight legs are so much in the way in any conceivable position that the best thing I got out of her is riding on her stomach and playing hide-the-dick between her humongous tits. Nice, but a bit lacking compared to the real game… ah well. If I’ll have a son, he’ll inherit a unique riding horse.” —ExplorerGuy; E-Mail; April 13, 2001

    The Aphrodite Bending Fantasy Doll is a great doll. Instead of the classic “on her back”, legs slightly spread format typical of sex dolls, the Aphrodite Bending Fantasy Doll is in a doggie style shape, with her rump sticking up in the air. Because of this shape, this doll is more flexible than most. The on-her-back position still works, but you also get doggie style (with both holes being easily accessible from the rear) and seated in your lap (which is great for masturbating while sitting on the couch watching tv). This doll also has a really great round ass, the best big round ass and hips shape of any doll.

    The Spread Eagle Doll is a real slut doll. Her legs are bent and spread, providing very easy access to both her pussy and her butthole, and making her look like a real slut.

    “Inflates in the on-her-knees position for easy entry.” —Velvet Love Doll box cover

arms, hands, and fingers

    Most dolls have mitten-like hands. Some deluxe dolls have molded hands and fingers, allowing for finger sucking.

    There are some dolls that have arms that can be moved. The arms are blown up separately from the rest of the doll and pivot on a joint at the shoulders. The pivoting arms look fine, will not hold a position, so you can’t really use them “doggie style”, although “missionary position” works fine.

    “Milk Maid has a special design that makes her legs and arms movable.” —Convergence Inc: Love Doll FAQ

    The Perfect 10 Deluxe Fantasy Love Doll has molded plastic hands, with painted fingernails, which can be individually sucked. Her left hand is formed into a circle, has a vibrator, and has an air pump to give a nice hand job.

    “Special vibrating love grip pleasure hand. Adjustable pressure for personalized enjoyment.” —Perfect 10 Deluxe Fantasy Love Doll box cover

    “ ‘True to life’ realistic hands. 10 perfect fingers with real painted fingernails.” —Perfect 10 Deluxe Fantasy Love Doll box cover

    “A stroking tightly gripping hand-of-love (vibrates). This doll also features a special self-inflating device in Velvet’s hand that lets Velvet gently grip you and stroke you to new sexual heights while you watch Blondie masturbate into sexual oblivion on her video tape.” —Velvet Love Doll box cover

Best hands: Perfect 10 Deluxe Fantasy Love Doll (molded hands and fingers, includes air pump)

legs, feet, and toes

    Most dolls have toe-less feet. Some deluxe dolls have molded feet and toes, allowing for toe sucking and foot fetishes.

    There are some dolls that have legs that can be moved. The legs are blown up separately from the rest of the doll and pivot on a joint at the hips. The pivoting legs ruin the look and feel of the doll’s hip area. Also, the pivotable legs will not hold a position, so you can’t really use them “doggie style”, although “missionary position” works fine and you can pivot the doll’s legs up to allow easy access to her vagina or anus while seated on the couch watching television.
