I didn’t even notice how different this doll was from the usual straight-as-a-board love dolls until my boy showed a specific interest in it. “It’s in a doggie style position,” he said, and that was enough of a reason for us to get down and dirty with our first love doll.

Kishimoto Serika is a cute anime-style love doll by Cal Exotics who was fortunate enough to have a detailed head, despite the lack of detail on the rest of her body. Her face was illustrated in Japan and looks so sharp because of “Advanced Digital Printing” according to the box. Her little tongue just dares you to blow her up and fuck her.

Blowing up Kishimoto took us about 15 minutes using a manual bicycle tire pump. No inflating tools are included with this doll. The blow-up port looks like what you’ve probably seen on pool toys and other inflatable devices – a clear flexible plastic valve with a push-in cap. Kishimoto Serika can be inflated by mouth if you’d like to use a personal touch, but I recommend using a pump of some kind to avoid trapping moisture inside her.

The masturbator that comes with Kishimoto is made of TPR and feels a bit sticky. The vulva is fairly realistic; her clit is visible and she even has asymmetrical labia, which I appreciated. The whole thing smells super sweet, like strawberries and cotton candy. The odor doesn’t permeate the room but it’s a bit powerful up close. Since the back of the masturbator is open, lube and body fluids can leak out the back and make cleaning a bit more complicated. I recommend removing the sleeve from Kishi’s body as soon as possible after you’re finished.

We inserted the masturbator after we blew up Kishi, but it can also be inserted beforehand. Either way it’s much easier if you put some water-based lube in her cavity and around the outside of the sleeve. The end of her cavity is attached to her back (on the inside), so it won’t move around while you’re playing. Once you’ve got her blown up and pussified, you’re ready to go!

Kishimoto’s body is fixed in a doggie style position, but she’s versatile. Try her on her back to get a good look at those cheeseburger-shaped breasts, or pull her on top of you, cowgirl style, so she can show off her flexibility. She doesn’t have much of an ass to grab, but otherwise she’s pretty easy to maneuver. You can also adjust how much air is in her so she feels a little firmer or squishier to your liking.

After you’ve had some luxurious love doll fun, be a kind partner and clean up Kishimoto with some soap and water. You can also use toy cleaner or wipes to clean her. The masturbator should be removed and cleaned separately – don’t worry, Kishimoto will understand why her pussy needs to go away for a little bit. I recommend letting a bit of air out of Kishi for easier cavity cleaning and for easier storage.

I couldn’t let such a cute-faced doll like Kishimoto have such an utterly plain body, so I gave her some details. First, I drew on some reddish pink nipples so her cheeseburger breasts would look less drab. Then I drew an underbust corset on her to show off her petite waist and give her a bit of style. I used permanent marker so the details wouldn’t easily rub off while we played with her. Check out pictures of Kishi here on my blog.

My boy said there’s a bit of a learning curve that comes with fucking a love doll, but he had a good time after he figured out what worked well. Since Kishi is filled with air and molded to one position, when you bend her or squeeze her, she pushes back to return to her original shape. With a little patience, though, the experience can be quite fun.

My boy found Kishi’s vaginal opening nice and tight, and the inside of her is ribbed for his pleasure. The sleeve is somewhat tight (this is partly due to the inflation) and is long and stretchy, which makes thrusting easy. Unfortunately, the sleeve can slide out over time, especially if you’ve used a lot of lube to get it into Kishi’s cavity. Reapplying lube while playing can be tedious, so we recommend using a long-lasting lube and possibly a thicker variety so more of it stays where you put it.

While my boy played around with Kishi, I sat near him on the bed and observed quietly. The experience was new and exciting for me, too, since I don’t get to see him from an outsider’s perspective when we have sex. I really enjoyed watching his body and taking in how he moved and adjusted. I was quite turned on by the whole ordeal and would end up pawing at him and kissing him while he fucked Kishi. I think we were both a bit surprised about how much fun we had with this doll. Despite her unrealistic face and nob-like head, overall we felt an interesting element of realism in our experiences with her. Spooning with Kishi after they had finished, I found her to be pretty cuddly for an inflatable toy. I think with some pajamas or a big t-shirt she’d be quite comforting.

It’s easy to laugh and dismiss blow-up dolls as simple gags, but I certainly see why they’re popular now that I have one of my own.
