The sex doll industry experienced a significant expansion since the pandemic started, and many people have turned to these products searching for sexual stimulation and satisfaction. The problem is that many people think about sex dolls the same as they do about sex toys. They couldn’t be more different even though they serve the same purpose.
When it comes to sex toys, people generally know everything there is to know about them, but when it comes to sex dolls, it’s a bit different. That’s why we’ve decided to list out some of the facts about sex dolls you probably didn’t know about.
The Barbie Doll Is Supposedly Based On A Sex Doll From The 1950s
This is a rumor that’s not completely proven but seems pretty legit. Sex dolls aren’t a modern-day invention and they’ve been around for hundreds of years. When the Barbie doll was first presented to the public, it was a massive hit, but a small number of people know that the doll really resembles a so-called sex doll from Germany named Bild Lilli.
Even though there’s a resemblance between these two dolls, Barbie has become an icon, and millions of children play with Barbie dolls even today.
Sex Doll Brothels Actually Exist
Most people think that it’s unlikely that anyone would choose a sex doll over a living, breathing person, but the truth is that more and more sex doll brothels are opening in various places around the world. The first sex doll brothel was opened in Spain, but the idea quickly travelled around the world, and these brothels started opening on almost every continent.
The reason why people visit these kinds of brothels is the fact that they need sexual stimulation and satisfaction, but they don’t want to cheat on their wives or girlfriends. It’s also a much safer and cleaner way of experiencing sexual satisfaction because there are cleansers and products that completely sterilize these dolls. Sex doll brothels offer a wide variety of sex dolls to choose from, some being only specific parts of the female body, while other sex dolls are based on sexy women figures in full size.
Many Consider Sex Dolls A Better Alternative Than One Night Stands
Sexual stimulation and satisfaction are considered a physical need for every person on the planet and different people satisfy their needs in different ways. Some are satisfied with masturbation, while others can’t imagine being satisfied unless it’s with another person. The closest thing to having sex with another person is having sex with a modern-day sex doll.
One night stands are a common practice, especially amongst younger people under 30. But not everyone can find a one-night stand easily. During the pandemic, it was close to impossible to find someone for a one night stand so people turned to online dating sites and apps that specialize in this types of activity with no strings attached. This wasn’t the solution to many, because, in order to have a one night stand, you need to find someone you’re sexually attracted to and who’s sexually attracted to you.
Although it seems pretty easy and straightforward, sending someone a message telling them you’d like to have intercourse with them will get you nothing but a ban and report on the website you found them on. Because of this, many have used sex dolls to satisfy their needs for sex and stimulation. Even though sex dolls are used mostly by men, there are different types of sex dolls that can be used by women as well.
Modern Sex Dolls Are Highly-Customizable
The main difference between sex toys and sex dolls is size, but also the fact that sex dolls are customizable. Although not all manufacturers provide this option, a lot of them are and buyers can specify every single detail they can imagine. It takes much more time to create such a sex doll, but those who have bought them consider them an investment that’s absolutely worth the wait.
A lot of sex doll manufacturers offer their products based on looks from certain adult movie stars. The customization part of the sex doll industry is relatively new, but the options are limitless. Although there’s the possibility of creating a sex doll exactly how you’d like, it’s still important to mention that no manufacturer would agree to create a sex doll based on someone's look without consent. This is also regarding spouses or girlfriends who don’t know you want to create a sex doll based on their looks.
Sex Dolls Weigh A Lot
Many people don’t realize just how much sex dolls can weigh. Depending on the materials the sex dolls are made of, they can way from 75 lbs to much much more. Some sex dolls have metal skeletons to make them move more naturally, some have electronics that allow them to move, vibrate and even be warm to the touch.
Because sex dolls aren’t something you can buy and sell as used, especially if it’s customized, it’s important to consider the size and weight of the sex doll before making a decision of buying one. You should also think about storage – where you’ll keep the sex dolls while it’s not being used.
Sex Dolls Are A Big Investment
The sex doll market is a pretty big one, and there are manufacturers shipping their products to almost every part of the world. The thing about sex dolls is that they’re much more expensive than conventional sex toys. They range from a few thousand dollars per unit to more than a hundred thousand dollars, depending on the level of customization and additional options you might want.
Even though it’s a pretty large investment, people who have already bought sex dolls consider the investment a good one because they’ve got a product that has exceeded their expectations.
