Introduction

A sex doll (also joy toy, love doll, sex doll or inflatable doll) is an anthropomorphic sex toy the size and shape of a sexual partner. A sex doll can consist of the entire body or just the head, pelvis or another body part (vagina, anus, mouth, penis, breast) that is used for sexual stimulation. Sex dolls are made of different materials such as silicone, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) or rubber to create a realistic experience. These materials were chosen for their durability and realistic texture, enhancing the overall user experience. Parts sometimes vibrate and may be movable and replaceable.

Sex dolls exist in many forms, but are usually distinguished from sex robots, which are anthropomorphic creations designed to be able to engage in more complex interactions.

Sex dolls first appeared as consumer goods and were sold in France in 1850 in rubber magazines under the name “Rubber Women”. These first sex dolls appeared in European and American industries during the Brazilian rubber boom in the 19th century with the invention of vulcanized rubber. The first documented appearance of these rubber sex dolls was in an article in the French newspaper Le Figaro, which reported on the display of American rubber products at the World’s Fair of 1855.

These products, like other sex toys made in France, were heavily criminalized and that was Also the case is therefore produced and sold in small quantities at high costs. In this context, one can speak of debauchery, which consists of the artificial imitation of the human body or individual parts of this body. In this field of pornographic technology, there are real Vukasins, skilled mechanics who prepare entire bodies of men or women from rubber and other plastic materials, which they use for debauchery while traveling. The sexual organs in particular are realistically depicted. The secretion of the Bartholin glands is also simulated using a “pneumatic tube” filled with oil. We also imitate the ejaculation of sperm with the help of a liquid and a corresponding device. Such artificial people are also offered for sale in the catalog of some “Parisian chewing gum” manufacturers.”

Contemporary commercial forms

The cheapest sex dolls are inflated with air. These dolls represent the lowest price range (under $75), are usually made of welded vinyl, and only resemble real people. They feature an artificial vagina or penis and are usually crude in design, but due to their convenience, many users are willing to overlook their shortcomings. They often explode after just a few uses, although they are usually given away as a joke and many are not used at all. For several years in Russia, participants were invited to raft on inflatable dolls as part of the entertainment “Bubble Baba Challenge”, but in 2013 the competition was canceled for “work safety” reasons. In the mid-price range ($100 to about $1,000), dolls are made of thicker vinyl or thick, heat-sealed, seamless latex or a blend of polyurethane and silicone, usually surrounding a foam core. Most have mannequin-like plastic heads and stylized wigs, plastic or glass eyes, and sometimes appropriately shaped hands and feet. Some vinyl dolls may contain water-filled body areas such as breasts or buttocks. Latex dolls have been manufactured in Hungary, China, and France, but currently only the French manufactured is still in production.
