Tiny sex dolls are a type of sex toy that is small in size. They are available in a variety of materials, including silicone and TPE. They are also customizable, allowing users to create a doll that fits their needs and fantasies.
While some sex doll publications assume a rigid misogynist meaning and use, art projects demonstrate more complex, creative games to play with dolls.
History
In the 20th century, advances in silicone and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) materials made sex dolls more lifelike and customizable. In recent years, robotics and artificial intelligence have also been incorporated into the dolls’ design.
For some, the dolls are just a way to fulfill fantasies that they couldn’t do in real life. For others, they are a means of companionship. For example, there are lonely middle-aged men who can’t navigate the dating minefield and disabled people who use sex dolls to keep company.
Despite their controversial nature, mini sex dolls have become a part of the adult entertainment industry. Several companies manufacture them, including Gynoid, Sinthetics, and RealDoll. In addition, the dolls are available online through various porn sites. Critics argue that allowing child-like sex dolls to exist with few restrictions encourages sexualized depictions of children, which is against the law. Activists like Kazuna Kanajiri have faced lukewarm support from politicians for her efforts to regulate the dolls.
Materials
Compared to silicone, TPE is cheaper and easier to work with. Its flexibility allows the creation of more realistic body parts, resulting in a more lifelike doll. It also resists stains better than silicone and is less susceptible to damage caused by excessive bending. TPE love dolls can be soaked in water, mild soap, or baby powder to keep them clean and fresh.
TPE sex dolls are soft, elastic, and skin-like to the touch. They can flexibly bend into many different positions to match your fantasies. They can also wiggle their breasts and buttocks when fucked, giving you a more realistic experience.
However, despite their popularity, some critics claim that sex dolls are dangerous for men. They can lead to an unhealthy confusion of play and reality, as well as antisocial tendencies. They can even contribute to sexual depreciation in marriages. These claims need more theoretical elaboration. A thorough research needs to be conducted before drawing conclusions about the effects of these toys on users.
Realism
For Matt, one of the most important aspects of his work is to make his dolls more realistic. His current creations have internal heat and can blink, but he hopes to add more features, including internal eye movement and an expression-changing feature.
While petitions for the regulation of child sex dolls have circulated, politicians and law-enforcement agencies have largely declined to call for restrictions, often citing freedom of expression as a justification. However, it is believed that the erotic and sexually suggestive nature of these dolls may have a reinforcing effect on paedophilic urges and could lead to the exploitation of children.
The Alma Mahler portrait sex doll is discussed the most in publications about sex dolls, particularly in papers focused on sex doll representations in art and media (4 out of 7; Table 1) [39]. In these studies, it is explained that the mythical Greek sculpturer Pygmalion was appalled by women’s sexual permissiveness, so created an ivory sculpture of his ideal woman. This objectification and fetishism of female statues, mannequins, or dolls is a recurrent trope in our culture.
Compatibility
Many dolls come with a case for safe storage. Some also have hooks for hanging on a wall. This makes them ideal for sex toys in shared homes or hotels. They’re also great for couples who want to explore sexual fantasies without cheating on their partners.
Some people who own dolls say they find them more satisfying than real women. Others, however, say that they can be a dangerous tool for sex offenders. They may lead to a pattern of escalation that leads to contact offences against children.
While some doll advocates argue that child-like sex dolls will prevent sexual offences against children, research shows that they don’t. These dolls could even reinforce paedophilic ideation and encourage a desire to abuse real children. They may also lead to a false sense of security for those who experience sexual attraction to minors. Moreover, some studies show that access to mainstream pornography is associated with lower rates of sexual violence.
