Ok. So I have joined. Hi all.

[Footman]

I came across a real life doll the other day on Ebay, while looking for other items. At first I thought it was a fake picture of an inflatable. Nope real silicone with poseable frame. Hmmm, interesting to say the least. So when I had some time I did a google search. Wow the number of pages that came up. Unreal there are so many beautiful dolls out there, I found myself thinking about getting one. After looking for sometime I came across this site and have read a few posts. I typically join forums for the vast info that lays within their pages. Which brings me to joining here.

Before I purchase a doll to call my own. I believe it is best to first explore what it involves, in matainance and care. Maybe it would be to much for me. This site seems to have all that info required to make a educated decision, along with reputable manufactures and venders.

Didn't mean to get long winded here, l look foreword to meeting and talking with you guys in my exploration of these beautiful creations.

Thanks for the welcome,
Footman.

Hi!

WELCOME!

What it involves is temptations. Temptations of the next lady after the first. They are all different and offer delight.

Maintenance and care? Dolls nowadays need very little. Silicone dolls occasionally powdering, and TPE dolls likewise if they're not having to go to work every day. dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=224&t=87457

Best wishes

Something like,

Welcome Footman! I too am glad you found TDF. Keep us posted on your progress

Welcome! Starting out can be a daunting and overwhelming experience. Don't get fixated only on the gorgeous faces and lovely hourglass figures! Keep in mind WEIGHT, intended storage and use. This lifestyle takes a good amount of imagination, creativity, and mechanical skills. Make sure you understand the realities from fantasy. Doll lifespans (and everything else) depends on you, how much you use her and how well you treat her. You will find many threads here to get you straight on maintaining, upgrades, sales and support.

I think this site for a good intro and resource for starters:
http://mysexdoll.net/the-best-sex-dolls-guide/

I personally can't recommend the above site (mysexdoll) to buy anything from; they are NOT a vetted vendor on this forum. However, the information provided is well organized and accurate.

Keep in mind.....there are tons of vendors out there with NO means of quality control. Most take advantage of the NO RETURN policy for intimate products and stick you with something of poor quality. That's where our vendors really shine, they are all tested and vouched for by our members. Just stick with a TDF approved vendor. They will help you get a quality doll as well as the doll you actually want. (All are Listed out in this thread)

Be sure you aware of the your propesctive dolls weight! The talller they are, the heavier they are. For some perspective; Try find something around house/work that weighs the same. Imagine visiting a gym; get a weight bar (45#) with 10# on each end....now try to go from standing, to laying down while cradling the weight (and vise-versa). A large doll requires that kind of stamina. Lugging around 60-80# of deadweight isn't necessarily the hardest thing. It's the weight combined with a soft 5'6 body with dangling delicate limbs and fragile fingers/toes; all with seemingly a mind of their own! Not to mention managing all that while wet and soapy in a shower (bath tub submersion is generally a no-no).

Finally, there are always sales going on. Take your time and do not rush into it. TDF vendors will often make every effort to meet or beat a reasonable price match offer. Narrow your decision to a TPE doll and a silicon doll. Email or PM 2-3 vendors directly from here (TDF) and ask any questions to gauge your desired level of customer service and for pricing/available discounts.
Best wishes!
