Whether you’re self-quarantining for pandemic-related reasons or simply want something to do with some downtime you’ve got on your hands, your sex doll is always a great place to turn for ideas. After all, your doll is always up for anything you are, and if you do need to social distance, you never have to worry about her.

So, if you’ve found yourself with an overabundance of free time on your hands lately, spending it on your doll is always a solid decision. Here are some ideas you may not have thought of on your own, but don’t be afraid to add others of your own to your ongoing to-do list.

1.      Catch up on doll maintenance.

Life can be hectic sometimes, with many different things and people vying for your attention. It’s all too easy to fall behind on little tasks you know you should be doing, like housework or finishing up some of those little projects you’ve always got going on around the house. Such things are always good options for killing free time when you need to, but so is sex doll maintenance.

If you’re like many doll owners, the chances are excellent that you don’t spend enough (if any) time maintaining your doll. After all, taking care of your silicone companion is about a lot more than making sure to clean her up after you’ve been intimate together. Here are some other tasks that should be on your running to-do list.

• Gently move each of your doll’s joints to ensure they’re all working as they should be.
• Inspect your doll for any cracks, stains, or other signs of wear and tear.
• Deep clean your sex doll by seeing to tasks you probably don’t do when it’s time for a quick post-coital cleaning session—for example, washing her hair, bathing her, etc.
• If you discover anything on your doll that’s due for replacement or repair, be sure to promptly have it taken care of.

Your sex doll has a lot in common with your car. She represents a substantial investment in your quality of life, so it’s worth your while to take care of her. The more diligent you are about maintenance and staying on top of repair, the longer she’ll last.

2. Try out some new moves.

Anyone can kill time masturbating, and anyone does. But isn’t elevating your solo time the whole point of owning a realistic sex doll? There’s no time like a lazy afternoon or weekend at home to really indulge yourself and get a little bit more creative than you usually might. And best of all, you don’t have to wonder whether your doll is down with whatever you have in mind because you already know she is.

Curious about whether you can nail a smoking hot position you saw on one of your favorite porn channels the other day? Or maybe there are a few other hot moves you’ve always wanted to try out but could never get your human partners on board with. Whatever’s on your mind, now’s the time to grab your doll and fully explore the possibilities to your heart’s content. With a sex doll in your corner, you always have a safe partner with which to explore anything you like.

3.      Spend the day simply hanging out with your doll.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking your doll’s usefulness starts and stops at her sexual availability. So many doll owners have learned that their dolls also make incredible companions in a broader sense. In other words, they don’t just turn to their dolls when they’re feeling randy. They cuddle theirs at night, talk to them when they’re lonely, and even watch television with them if the mood happens to strike.

So don’t fight the urge to spend time with your doll outside of the bedroom if it ever strikes. Life can quickly get lonely for anyone, especially considering factors like the pandemic, but a doll can take the edge off to a greater extent than you realize. Try spending some extra quality time with yours and seeing what happens.

4.      Indulge in a bit of shopping therapy.

Realistic sex dolls aren’t just fun to hang out with and get frisky with when you’re in the mood. They’re pretty fun to shop for, as well, so a little shopping therapy done with your doll in mind can be a great way to make use of some extra time.

And anyway, when was the last time you bought your doll a sexy new outfit, you’d really like to see her in? Or treated her to some new makeup or an alternate wig, just to mix things up? There are plenty of great accessories out there designed to enhance your hands-on experience with your doll, as well – like doll warmers, lubes, and storage upgrades – so it’s worth letting your fingers do the walking now and again. You might wind up glad you did.
