The History of Sex Dolls...Have You Heard?

Honestly, when most people hear the word "sex doll," their minds jump to the inflatable exploding sex dolls of the early 70s. These immortal calls, reminiscent of frozen chews, are somehow intertwined with rubber chicken.

Fortunately, those days are over. Today we have modern manufacturing methods using TPE and silicone, as well as frames to place and fully customizable dolls to create stunning hyper-realistic looks. These days, you're more likely to hear someone exclaim, "Wow! I thought that was real!" Today's selection is amazing, and our manufacturers keep raising the bar.

When was the first character doll?

In ancient Greece, historical documents record several men who fell in love with sculptures, not sex dolls, but we will find some of their thoughts expressed in their heads through sculptures. Praxiteles was the first to sculpt a full-scale nude statue, his most famous statue being Aphrodite.

It is said that a lad was so startled that his legs were dirty with ejaculation! In the culture that brought us the myth of Pygmalion, this might not be particularly shocking: the sculptor made the statue so beautiful that he fell in love with it.

At the end of the Dark Ages, until the age of long-distance sailing in the 16th century, sailors craving female companionship made dolls out of cloth and leather. The French called these "aircraft carriers" and the British called them "Dutch women", meaning Dutch sailors would use them. These people may belong to the sex dolls that were once designed, the term "Dutch woman". This is still called a love doll in Japan.

Not long after, Eta Hoffman wrote his work, The S

andman, as a boy who gave up his love of women for automata. Artist Hans Bemer was very enthusiastic when he saw the performance of this work. In the 1930s, he started making sex dolls with moving balls.

Dolls weren't mass-produced until the early 1900s. Around 1904 they began appearing in French catalogs, using newfound plastics and rubbers to make more realistic cheap sex dolls. These may be the first products to feature realistic genitals and even include a tubing for lubricating the vagina.

While vinyl, latex and silicone inflatable sex dolls were popular in the US in the 1960s and 70s, they were not allowed to be imported and sold in the UK until 1987. Also, over time, five years later, high-quality silicone sex dolls also entered the mass market. Since then, materials and manufacturing have improved a lot, leading to today's TPE and platinum silicone doll market.
