A recent survey of sex doll owners in an English language international online doll owner forum suggests that ownership may not be exclusively sexual. It appears that dolls are also functional surrogates for living partners, facilitating emotional closeness and improving mental wellbeing.
However, some doll owners appear to use their dolls as an outlet for sexual or masturbatory fantasies that are difficult to enact with their living partners. The question remains, then, whether these fantasy objects should be prohibited.
Butt dolls
A butt doll is a sexual playmate with an extremely large bottom that can be used to suck, moan, and serve. It is a popular choice for couples who want to take their sex life to the next level. While some women may object to such toys, others find them satisfying and erotically intense. However, the toy has received some criticism, including from a pro-family group and a feminist group in Sao Paulo. The group’s leader, Sara Winter, has vowed to launch legal action to stop the doll from being made or sold. She says it sends a message to young girls that they should model themselves on large bottoms, which can only be achieved through exercise or surgery.
Many full-body sex dolls come with a wide range of options to make the experience more realistic. These can include internal heating, touch-activated moans, breathing systems, and implanted human hair. Some even have a fully functioning internal skeleton so that the doll can be posed and stand upright.
Many sex dolls also offer a wide variety of accessories, from lingerie and robes to lubricant and penis attachments. They can also be customised with different eyes, wigs, and teeth, and some even feature a variety of tongues. These accessories can be a great way to explore new sexual fantasies without risking your real partner’s feelings.
Torso dolls
Torso dolls are a discreet and lightweight alternative to full-sized sex dolls. They’re made of TPE or silicone with a realistic feel and texture, and some even come with built-in masturbators for added stimulation. They’re also smaller and lighter than their full-sized counterparts, which makes them easy to store and move around.
Many torso owners develop profound emotional connections with their dolls, a form of companionship that transcends their inanimate nature and offers genuine comfort. This unique experience has led to a gradual shift in perceptions of these dolls from taboo to normal, a change that has been driven by both innovation and demand.
When choosing a torso, there are several considerations to keep in mind, including realism and cost. If you’re planning to use your sex doll for lighthearted purposes, price and realism won’t matter so much, but if you want to use your torso for serious kinky play, be sure it weighs proportionally to your body weight so it doesn’t scoot around during thrusts.
A good torso will have realistic facial features, bushy pubic hair, and triple orifices that feel like the real thing. It should also be durable and easy to clean. Some torsos even have removable sleeves, which can be cleaned separately from the rest of the doll. Finally, the torso’s feet should be flat or semi-flat and have the ability to sit/stand on their own.
Full-body dolls
Designed to look like real babies, full-body dolls are the most realistic dolls on the market. They are made using safe, non-toxic vinyl silicone by world-renowned doll artists. They are sculpted with lifelike details, including eyebrows, capillaries, and skin pigmentation. They are also designed with a cloth body, making them feel soft and squishy to the touch.
These dolls are often used as a form of doll therapy. They have been shown to help reduce agitation and distress in dementia patients. They can also be used by people who have lost a child or are empty-nesters to help them deal with their loss.
This reborn doll is a great gift for any child or woman. It features a soft body, realistic hair that can be combed, and a cute face.
Storage
Choosing a suitable storage method for your sex doll can significantly affect its lifespan. A poor choice can lead to elongation of its skin and internal parts. To prevent this, it is recommended to store your sex doll in its original position. Moreover, it is important to store your doll away from direct sunlight. Doing so will help preserve its color and protect it from dust.
Sex dolls can be purchased in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, and are available in different genders (female, male, or trans), races (eg, white, Asian, or African), ages (adult, adolescent, or child), and body types (eg, petite or plus-size). Some models may be designed to look like a specific real person, such as a porn star or celebrity. In addition, many manufacturers offer custom-made sex dolls.
Despite the wide popularity of these devices, research on their use is still in its infancy. Consequently, predictions of the positive and negative effects of small sex dolls are mostly speculative. They range from utopian visions of improved sexual satisfaction and overall happiness to dystopian visions of dehumanization, objectification, and isolation. These predictions are fueled by media discourses that often emphasize the potential harms of sex doll use and do not necessarily reflect prevailing scientific knowledge.
