HERE ARE SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT SEX DOLLS YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY KNOW ABOUT:

Sex dolls date as far back as the 17th century when (Dutch) sailors needed some ‘companions’ ;) and for this reason, sex dolls are sometimes referred to as ‘Dutch wives’, especially in Japan.
Very many times, sex doll users end up developing emotional attachments to their toys
Some sex dolls (synthetic, full-bodied) can be heavy (weighing up to 52 kilograms or 115 pounds)
It is said that the Barbie doll was spun off a German sex doll.
Almost single-handedly, Howard Stern is said to have boosted the popularity of sex dolls by having sex with one – on air

We are fascinated with dolls. When we are young, we learn how to put personalities into them, shaping adventures and worlds. They play an important role in our development from childhood into adolescence. It is only natural, then, to be fascinated with them, as we grow older. Our needs and wants for such dolls mature as well, and very likely, your opinion of playing with them has changed.

I am here to fix that.
NOT JUST A BLOW-UP DOLL

Sex dolls have changed from the simple, inflatable blow-up dolls that feature in comedy sketches. Today’s dolls are sophisticated, made with vinyl and flesh-like material so that they are soft and durable. They also come in a wide variety of styles – anime blow-up dolls, realistic torsos or heads, and dolls designed after famous adult models and film stars.

Before you resign these designs to modern indulgences, sex dolls are not a new creation. Quality, sexy recreations of humans go back to the early 20th Century, and the dames and homes de voyage. These creations, often made of rubber and plastic, even included replicated semen[i] – suggesting the dolls would have been available for women as well as men.

One of the best things about blow-up dolls and other sex dolls is that they allow us to indulge in some selfishness for a little while. So much of our lives are about what we do for other people. This is good, and paying attention to the sexual needs of your partner is important for not only your partner’s happiness, but yours as well. Having outlets, however, where we can indulge in only our desires, where nothing else matters, helps us to refocus and center ourselves. When it comes to sex, such an outlet allows us to focus in on our needs, which can help us later when we want to communicate them to our partner.

So with a little of the history and psychology of sex dolls out of the way, let us look at what wonderful toys are out there for you to enjoy.
VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF REPLICATED LIFE

A sex doll is waiting to fulfill whatever sexual appetite you have, in whatever price range you are looking for. The least expensive are the basic blow-up dolls, such as Banging Bonita. These dolls feature a durable body, typically of PVC or a similar material, and realistic orifices – three to choose from. The materials vary by company, as most keep their flesh-like materials a closely held trade secret. Banging Bonita adds a little flair with her stockings and lingerie.

The quality and price of blow-up dolls jump significantly as you browse. Dolls like the PDX Mona Mountains and the Doc Johnson Jenna Jameson come in at around seven to twelve times the cost of the basic blow-up doll. They are both worth the price. Doc Johnson’s doll is modeled after Jenna Jameson herself, features realistic flowing hair and three soft orifices. She also has a vibrating mouth.

Moving from blow-up dolls to solid body replicas increases both quality and price – sometimes double or more. These are the top of the line, offering life-like positioning and grip. The Fuck Me Silly Mega Masturbator is only the bottom half, offering two holes you can reach from front or back. The Fuck Me Silly 2 adds a sleek torso and ample breasts, for additional sensations and pleasures. If you want to go all out, PDX’s Mega Fuck Slug offers a sleek torso and large, naturally shaped breasts. If you want to take her from behind, simply turn her over. Enjoy the curvature of her ass, back, and shoulders, giving you realistic sensations and shapes to grip.
CARING FOR YOUR DOLLS

Just as with any sex toy, you must care for your sex dolls and blow-up dolls if you want them to last.

Keep them clean with a sex toy safe cleaner after use, and store when dry. Allow blow-up dolls to dry thoroughly before deflating and storing to prevent mildew.

Use a sex toy safe lubricant for your sex doll. Just as you would not want to tear the tender tissues of a living woman, you do not want to hurt your sex doll. Using proper lubricant means that you can enjoy your doll comfortably and she will last for years.
Avoid sharp edges with blow-up dolls. Obviously, you will avoid pins and knives with your doll. Check the area you plan to use her and look for any hidden dangers, especially carpet tacks and nails or screws on the underside of your bed.

As with any sex toy, enjoy. These dolls are made for your enjoyment. Show one your appreciation, over and over again.
SEX DOLLS AND BLOW UP DOLLS

There are those men who give sex dolls blow-up dolls to other men as a practical joke. But there is nothing funny about these particular ladies on the Peaches and Screams website. Sex dolls blow-up dolls are always ready when you are, do not require dinner and dancing, and never give you a hard time when you want oral or anal sex.

Ivanna Russian Love Doll with 3 Love Holes is a perfect example. When you want it straight she is ready to accommodate. Feel like oral sex? Her mouth is open and ready to accept you whatever your size. And if anal sex is your choice for the evening, she never complains.

What do you want in a woman that is ready all the time for what you want to give her? The Sweet Love Doll with three holes is pretty as a picture and is life-size. You can give it to her rough or gentle. She will accept you for ‘regular’ sex, oral sex or anal sex. She likes it all. We suggest using a light lube. She can be blown up by pump or manually

Some men may not like a full-size doll. Once blown up they can be hard to hide at the last minute. This is why Romping Rosie is so popular. She’s a little thing at 26” but she has two adult-size holes ready to take whatever you offer. She doesn’t mind being stuffed under the bed or in a closet when the company arrives unannounced. She can be very discrete. She is one sex dolls blow up doll that you only have to pump up once.

Sex doll THREESOMES: Couples using MALE replicas to 'take away jealousy' of cheating

Life-sized sex dolls that resemble real humans are being bought by couples to “take away the jealousy” of having sex with other people. Entrepreneur Jade Stanley, founder, and owner of Sex Doll Official said adventurous couples partial to “breaking boundaries” are among her customers. Her firm, based in Bromsgrove, near Birmingham, provides three services related to anthropomorphic sex dolls, including rentals, a “buy off the shelf” option, and customization. Because couples don’t want to jeopardize their relationships, they are buying anthropomorphic sex dolls for “safety threesomes” instead, Jade said.“They are used for the safe threesome as well,” the mum-of-four told Daily Star Online."The couple also purchases the male doll. It takes away any jealousy.“How can you be jealous of the silicone doll – it’s ridiculous.”

She said her service allows couples to upend sexual taboos and express themselves without compromising their happy relationships. She added: “That’s why it’s a safety threesome, it’s breaking boundaries, it’s pushing boundaries and it’s breaking the taboo as well.”The 35-year-old said she is considering selling and renting artificially intelligent sex robots when they become more commercially more viable.

Currently, sex robots made by the California-based company Realbotix cost around £12,000. Jade, who owns a chain of tanning shops in the West Midlands, said in the future they will become more advanced and affordable. She said: “They’re only going to get better and better.“They’re still in the early stages. I will be looking at AI without a doubt.”To produce the sex dolls, customers are required to make a booking with Jade, who forwards the request on to her factory in China, where they are made. Customers are required to detail their specifications, including hair colour, breast size, weight, and skin colour, when making a request via the Sex Doll Official website.

The bespoke sex dolls, which can cost up to £4,000 depending on specifications, are then air-freighted back to Jade’s office and cleaned before being shipped out to the customer. Jade said she decided to set up the business after reading about Lumidolls, thought to be the world’s first sex doll brothel in Barcelona, Spain. She explained: “Basically I read an article about Lumidolls [a sex doll brothel in Barcelona].“It struck a chord with me.“I was wondering, if I can take the seediness out of it, I could normalise this in a way and make it easier for people to have access to these dolls.”

Jade charges customers £345-a-week and a £300 refundable deposit to rent her range of eight sex dolls, whose names include Francesca, Ivanka, Sienna, and Cindy. The sex dolls, described as “expertly crafted”, durable and non-greasy, are delivered with “complete discretion” by a “white glove doorstep service”.Jade said if the business continues to be successful, she will consider expanding next year. She said: “I intend to take this globally because I’m the only person to offer this service, the way that I do it."

This sex doll rental company that recreates your dead lover

Let’s say you’ve lost your spouse and miss her dearly, but you’re also horny. Don’t worry, one woman in the U.K. knows just how to fix that problem: Replica sex dolls rentals. That’s right, you can recreate your wife and have sex with her in doll form, but you have to give her back once you’re done with her.

Sex Doll Official offers premium sex dolls to purchase, rent, or customize to your heart’s desire. While ordering a pre-made sex doll can cost as much as £1,895 pounds (or approximately $2,483 USD), the site’s stock dolls can be rented out for £345 per week (or around $452 USD), and users can even customize their own dolls and provide specific details like hair color, eye color, and scars. This includes orders for replicas of customers’ dead partners, among other things.

The business is run by 35-year-old Jade Stanley, who came up with the idea after reading an article about the sex doll industry. She realized most sex doll manufacturers were “offering the dolls in a more sexualized way” that was “quite seedy,” so she decided to open a sex doll business for people who are “seeking comfort” after a partner’s death.

“We have a lot of people approach us who have dolls made that resemble a partner they have lost,” Stanley told the Sun. “It can be very beneficial for them and helps them keep a piece of their loved one, it provides them with comfort, and people don’t always buy the dolls for a sordid reason.” Stanley also says her dolls can help couples who want to experiment with a third person, socially anxious people learning how to navigate sex, and individuals who suffer from mental health concerns that make socializing difficult.

There’s a need for tender sex dolls in the world, for sure. But Sex Doll Official has some problems with its business model.

For one, there are the racist stereotypes running rampant across the site with its dolls of color. A Black doll named “Brandy” promises to take buyers to “the depths of sexual darkness,” and a Latina doll named “Flame” is described as “red hot and full of sinful lust.” Another one, a Black woman in leopard lingerie named “Destiny,” is described as the “queen of the night.” Then there’s “Keiko”, which Sex Doll Official describes as a “seductive Asian nymphet” that is a “hard-working frisky individual.” Yikes. The dolls’ descriptions clearly fall into a much larger problem with racism in sexual preferences, which cannot be separated from the site’s customization options. (Sex Doll Buying Guide)

Not just that, but grieving partners need time to mourn, and giving widows and widowers the opportunity to recreate their late partner in plastic can leave them stuck in the five stages of grief without any way out. Twitter has since ruled the entire concept “seriously fucked up.”

The whole premise is eerily similar to the Black Mirror episode Be Right Back, which tackles losing a loved one and recreating them with artificial intelligence.

The company makes custom sex dolls with photos of real women!

Custom sex dolls, with the characteristics of real women, who are often unaware that their photos are used for this purpose, are made by a company in Britain.

Clients of Sex Doll Official, based near Birmingham, can send photos of the objects of their desire to order for 4,500 euros identical sex dolls, which are then made in China.

According to the owner of the company, Jade Stanley, some of her clients send photos of their love partners, but even celebrities who fantasize: "The requests vary a lot. "Some are asking for a copy of Kim Kardashian, others for a girl next door."

The fact that many of the women used to make their plastic copies have not given their consent is not a problem for the 35-year-old, since, as she says, the dolls "just look like them". "And who says you can't make or paint something that looks like someone?", adds.

Customers can give the exact characteristics of their order, from hair and skin color to weight and breast size, tattoos, and birthmarks.

Some, as the mother of four reveals, are widows who ask for a copy of their lost partners or "socially isolated" people. The idea, as the owner of the solarium chain reveals, came to her when she read an article about sex dolls in a newspaper. "I wanted to approach this idea from a different perspective, more to help those seeking solace," he says.

Love, Sex (Dolls) and Robots in the Age of Coronavirus?

In the last few weeks, we’ve been asked to comply with social distancing measures that intend to protect our bodies from the bodies of others. For many of us, that has meant that physical companionship and intimacy have also been quarantined. We have been asked to refuse hugs, touch, daps, high-fives, and kisses. Entire industries are shut down as unemployment skyrockets. But, porn companies have seen significant growth in traffic, and coronavirus-themed content now includes performers dressed in masks and gloves.

Traditional modes of sex work exist at the intersection of all of the things that Coronavirus has taken away from us: touch, physical proximity, financial security, disposable income. For some sex workers, Coronavirus has made earning a living nearly impossible—one can’t collect unemployment for a job still categorized as a criminal. Other services have moved to webcams and tip-based digital payments. But in an age where we can’t touch other people, sex doll and sex robot companies are also prepared to fill the intimacy gaps left by social distancing.

Most scholarly discussions about the inclusion of sex dolls and sexbots (AI and robotic versions of sex dolls) fall into one of two camps. Either sex dolls are meaningless, manmade pieces of merchandise that, at best, can be repurposed and used as a social good, or they are problematic products carrying “symbolic consequences.” This distinction shapes the debate over how and whether to regulate the market. Some suggest that injecting more of these artificial bodies into society may serve as a release valve for the types of violence typically directed toward human women and children. KinkySdolls, for example, frames its products as a way to prevent human trafficking, reduce prostitution, and help those who find connection with others difficult. During this public health crisis, sex dolls could be seen as a safe way to address the mental health consequences of extreme isolation.

Yet, it’s worth thinking sociologically about who the major sex doll and sexbot stakeholders are and how they shape consumer behavior. The production and use of sexbots is largely unregulated, and there’s been little discussion of how the way we treat dolls might translate into the way we treat other humans in sexual encounters. Dolls were not designed by advocates striving to find innovative solutions to social harms. This sex-toys-for-hire originate instead, at the intersection of eroticism, technology, and consumerism.

Sex-tech industry design


Today’s sex dolls are built with lifelike material and features, and customers can build-a-doll through most company websites, customizing details. Unlike the lifeless, cartoon versions of generations past, today’s sex dolls are built with lifelike material and features like warming “skin,” “moaning” censors, “jiggle” material in the breasts and butt, smiling capability, and eyes that blink. Customers can build-a-doll through most company websites, customizing details down to the doll’s nail polish color. Some companies advertise that they can make dolls of your favorite actress, or can customize a doll to match an uploaded photo (consent not needed). At least one company launched services to create dolls that replicate the deceased. An “emotional database” is on the horizon, as are AI-powered sexbots, where the product can “learn” customer preferences through repeated data intakes.



Doll companies now also curate a social identity and personality for many products, creating digital narratives, dating profiles and social media accounts for dolls so that customers can interact with their product and create an illusion of communication. Lumidolls for instance, provides textual histories for several of their dolls, interweaving fictional dating experiences with sexual content and details about what the doll is looking for in their purchaser:


“Janna:” I am a 26-year-old lady who works in the car industry. I sell cars like no one in my job. Could it be because of my explosive body? Probably yes. The thing is that I see a man coming in, looking at the cars and then to me, and in few seconds I know what he is thinking about: Just me naked at the front of the car waiting for him to take me. Do you think I am wrong? I do not think so! If you choose for me in this ocean of ladies I can take you to a baseball game and then we can go for a beer and a hamburger. At home I can wear this sexy baseball player outfit for you.

With the addition of these interactive features, sex dolls are not just material goods nor visual fantasies; modern versions break down the fourth wall. These products can be touched and tortured just as easily as they can “listen” to your feelings and “text” you goodnight.

Constructing Digital Identities


At best, sex dolls and sexbots play out the stereotypical, gendered, and racialized constructions of sexuality that their human counterparts have endured and fought against for centuries. By both physically and digitally constructing a particular type of sexual identity, sex-tech companies have incredible power to dictate what kinds of imagery and text is privileged and bypassed. Most of the race, gender, and sexuality contours that shape human existence have been erased and replaced with privileged “ideal-types.” At best, sex dolls and sexbots play out the stereotypical, gendered, and racialized constructions of sexuality that their human counterparts have endured and fought against for centuries. “Momoka” is Japanese and “…like most Japanese women, she decided to stay at home to handle all the household chores and take good care of her husband.” The Latina sex dolls, “do not complain and retain their spicy, ethnic features and tan skin for the longest time…” Rarely are there any “Sharonda” or “LaKeisha,” sex dolls. Dark brown and black bodies are almost entirely deleted from plastic sexual fantasies. Male-presenting dolls are rarer still, with faces that look just like the female-presenting ones; the newly launched trans dolls are just female dolls with penis inserts. Unsurprisingly, scrolling through the inventory shows a plethora of models that resemble white, cis women with intangible body dimensions—signaling again, what kinds of bodies are valued and desirable.



Though companies are working hard to normalize sex doll consumerism, in the meantime escorts New York and London keep doing company to their clients and these products still come with public scripts about what our partners, sex, and “companionship” should look and act like. Sex doll bodies appeal to a gaze that largely dismisses sexual equity or equitable desire, bolstered further by how the doll is programmed. Sex doll companies overlook questions of whether a doll could ever say no, or if a doll could report that “she” did not, in fact, enjoy the user. How many times must the doll be hit before it shuts down? If strangled too tightly, will there be some tilt in “her” voice to indicate fright or anger?

In the United States, body subjugation has always laid at the feet of a categorization system that determines that only some bodies are “human” enough to count. And as history should have taught us, it is advantaged bodies who draw the legal, political, and cultural definitions in order to dehumanize the body that is not their own. These structural-sexual inequities have allowed for the bodies of “others” to serve as host for sexual experimentation for centuries—sex dolls and sexbots may re-create this classification system a hundred-fold.

Purchasing an artificial body may provide a quick fix to navigating society’s complicated ideas about sex work, companionship, body autonomy, sexual fantasy, exploitation or empowerment. But mainstream inclusion of sex dolls may also influence our collective “training” in other important ways. In the midst of a critical moment (by way of the #metoo movement), where a surge of attention, public pressure, and improved accountability has pushed conversations about sexual harassment and violence forward, the mainstream incorporation of sex dolls and sexbots seems to lean closer to a lowered bar for sexual equality. Here, we learn that consent is whatever the programmer coded it to be. Here, consent is whatever the customer paid for.

Sex Dolls, Social Distancing–and Social Science


We have a small window to think critically about how these replacement “companions” might affect the way we think about and interact with those that sex dolls are designed to replace. We have a small window to think critically about how these replacement “companions” might affect the way we think about and interact with those that sex dolls are designed to replace. While it’s easy to dismiss these products as non-threatening and an altogether silly byproduct of our more progressive sexual lives, there is danger in ignoring the ways in which these symbolic objects capture all the racialized, gendered, and heteronormative biases of those who design and profit from their “bodies.” Consider debates over whether the wide access and exposure to graphic internet porn have influenced sexual behavior and sexual violence. Sext-tech innovation doesn’t wait for society to grapple with the impacts of its newest creations, but perhaps, we can use this moment and our power as consumers to demand better products—before these companies go mainstream. And “mainstream” is probably not as far off as we think—KinkySdolls tried to open sex doll brothels in Houston and New York, and Anna Kendrick is starring in a new online series about the blossoming friendship between a girl and her boyfriend’s sex doll. (Sex Doll Buying Guide)



If it’s inevitable that sexbots are the next iteration of commercial sex, social scientists and consumers ought to think about how their inclusion might affect interactions between living bodies. While criminal and civil laws have been enacted to protect society from sexual and labor violations, these laws don’t apply to artificial bodies—consent is not required from the majority of models, not even from the “child” sex dolls, and sex dolls don’t need to rest in between shifts, they don’t ask for time off, they don’t need food or water to survive. They don’t need air. Yet, focusing on these distinctions, the ones where the legal and symbolic boundaries of public policy are drawn around the type of “body,” rather than the act itself, is an argument that has been used to justify violence and ownership of marginalized bodies time and time again.

In a process that defines right and wrong with our definitions of “human,” instead of definitions about the legality of the act, sex dolls and sexbots will potentially, just be the newest version of acceptable space-holders for behaviors that we would not perform, or be allowed to perform, on other humans—at least, the humans whose advantaged bodies have deemed legitimate and worthy of protection. As technological improvements continue to blur the once-obvious tells between genetic and manmade versions of “life,” thinking through these implications and pushing for responsible production may become more necessary.


Sex dolls don’t have to become the newest version of acceptable space-holders for behaviors that we would not perform, or be allowed to perform, on other humans. What if the next model chopped your fingers off if you tried to grope it without consent? For example, could sex dolls be designed with more attention to reality and equitable representation? Could they be programmed to teach users about affirming sexual practices? What if dolls were programmed to send the police data and recordings of any purchaser engaged in “lethal” sexual practices? What if instead of making dolls always available for sex, they were programmed to occasionally refuse? Could we decide as a community, to not have sex doll brothels be a thing? What if the next model chopped your fingers off if you tried to grope it without consent? What if… it chopped something else off?



It makes sense that as a society, we are searching for new ways to address the very basic and human need for touch, connection, and intimacy right now. During this public health crisis, it’s true that sex doll companies are well-positioned to support us by creating products that replicate the bodies that we so desperately miss. In theory, these bodies cannot hurt us the way human bodies can during a global pandemic. But before we reach for this balm, it’s important to question and – and as social scientists, empirically analyze – the potential impacts of incorporating and using bodies that can be bought, curated, controlled, and stuffed into the closet whenever a human company is allowed back in.
