Looking back, there are several things I wish I had known before my first experience with a sex doll. First, I underestimated the importance of proper preparation—creating a comfortable environment, understanding maintenance, and setting realistic expectations. I also wish I knew how vital patience was; it takes time to become comfortable and enjoy the experience fully.

I underestimated the emotional impact, too. I thought it was purely physical, but I found it also had emotional dimensions—such as feelings of companionship or vulnerability—that I wasn’t fully prepared for. Additionally, I wish I had known more about hygiene practices to ensure the longevity of the doll and my safety.

Most importantly, I wish I had embraced the idea that exploring sexuality is a personal journey. Approaching it with openness and without guilt would have made the process more enjoyable and less stressful. Overall, being better informed beforehand would have enhanced my experience and helped me feel more confident and relaxed.
