Adult Play Dolls: Yes or No

Hi Everyone, As we all know, not all of us are fortunate to have real life play partners. In order to satisfy our medfet desires, I was wondering if anyone has ever used or even thought of using adult play dolls.

My idea is that it would allow one to pratice on an adult type body at your personal convenience. Thus, when you do finally get a live patient, your Doctor technique will be smooth and polished with little to no fumbling.

Has anyone done this or even thought about it? After all, Doctors in medical school practice on dummy models before they see live patients. So why not us play Docs?

Oooooh that's an intriguing thought to chew upon Lady Teddy!

I've got an idea that these make believe ladies and gentlemen 'patients' would be rather like the male and female Love Dolls, that are in adult stores.

And no, I've never copulated etc with either gender of those but I have closely 'examined' them, you'll get my drift there, lol.

You can get the cheaper version - you know with puckered seams rather like I have on my real body, with (unlike mine) eyes staring into space, lips a bloody red surrounding an 'O' of a mouth, an 'O' of an anus and a raggedy edge to the fake vulva surmounted by a tuft of hair of uncertain origin but probably from an Oregon beaver. And complete with a battery compartment.

You can reduce the cost further with some free supermarket bags (plastic in the UK but I could mail some to anyone interested), simply inflate them and tie together - much the same appearance and feel - if you close your eyes.

At the other end of the scale and with variations in between you can pay $thousands and get the upmarket model, made from latex with lovingly hand painted 'features'.

I've 'felt' them both and now, in attempting to answer your question, I shall have to ask myself some questions, preferably about the latter, expensive ones.

Why do they feel as though they are made from recycled sorbo or squash balls? And will they scoot down to the bottom of the table on request? Will they comply meekly when I order them to 'spread their legs' (horrible phrase that, which I see used far too often)?

How about rectal temperatures - what is the 'normal' temperature for these lovelies? Auscultation? Blood pressure? Urine analysis? etc. etc.

I think I've decided - I prefer you real ladies and no doubt you few lady docs will prefer real gentlemen. Colour, race, size, shape etc - I have no preferences or hang ups.

It's a nice thought Lady Teddy but I leave you with this advice - accept no substitutes!

This is an interesting idea, but I can't imagine that a synthetic penis and scrotum would be applicable to the real thing. Maybe it would provide some guidance with the male rectal exam, but it is not particularly complicated anyway. On the male, it seems to me that the testes are the body parts that require the most experience and they would be difficult to simulate in a doll.

Looked at from a purely practical point of view, this suggestion makes a lot of sense. Not all playdocs have the opportunity to work regularly with a live patient, so gaining experience by "examining" a model or dummy could be helpful for developing the smooth, professional technique that makes an exam worthwhile and satisfying for both the doctor and the patient.

It would be interesting to hear what playdocs think who have actually practiced on dummies. If it works for medical students, why not for us?

You two gentlemen are quite right in ignoring my facetious comments in reply to Lady Teddy's question. In fact I'm amazed she's not set her three dogs on me for my cheek.

Seriously though none of us can ever learn enough and maybe as an idea in ways that a prosthetic patient might help we could perhaps get a permanent marker and transfer 2D illustrations from medical material into 3D on the 'body'. Could be useful for things like finding the outer upper quadrant of the buttock prior to IM injection. etc.

I'm not sure though that physical intervention such as actually injecting or other invasive procedure will be aided by trying it on a prosthetic first. He or she can't say Ouch and you can't kill them by a surgical error ( except you may find the cheaper models feel a little 'deflated')

But certainly worth thinking about Lady Teddy.

As a youngster, a preschooler in fact, I did fantasize about rectal temperature taking using a doll as my patient. From my late teens I was fortunate to have a live "doll" to develop my skills so I never gave much thought to using a training model until I got into flexible endoscopy. Some major endoscopy equipment makers offer a training colon for new purchasers on a loan basis. I built my own demo colon using balloons, ice and wax to create a very good representation of the colon for my initial practice, and it served me well. Beyond there are many daily exercises that can be done to improve your manual skills, things like tying a surgical knot with one hand, torquing a length of rope through an obstacle course, or wrist fulcrum exercises to duplicate the mechanical movements used during instrumentation. I have found the feel and wrist action of my right hand when handling a pool cue is very similar to the moves employed during endoscopy and one benefits the other with regular practice. So while I do not advocate going out and buying a doll for the specific purpose, I do agree that mechanical training aids are invaluable for new doctors.

If these items are available for sale they would most likely be as expensive as the C.P.R. training chests I have purchased for our C.P.R. training at work.

Just to be a good guy and save all of my friends here some money I will volunteer to be your practice subject 😁 .

Just be careful where you leave your dolls:

A couple of weeks ago a guy tried to avoid hitting a body in the road and caused an accident. Turned out it was a blow-up doll!!!

While I chuckled at BigK's tongue-in-cheek answer, I do have to agree with his final statement, "accept no substitutes". There is nothing that will replace that sharp intake of breath from my patient when I slide the thermometer or a finger into him. When they come up with a doll that can do that, I'll be at the front of the line. Until then, "ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby"!

Play On!

Never tried it... not even sure where you'd find one.
