With the recent trend of lifelike sex dolls becoming more popular, one would be surprised at how many curious facts and figures are available on this phenomenon.
Here are some facts about sex dolls that you might not need to know.
1.While most sex doll owners actually use their sex dolls as sex toys and objects for their own pleasure, some men go beyond that and see these dolls as real partners. An extreme example is Davecat from Michigan who is not only married to a most realistic sex doll he affectionately calls Sidore but also has a mistress named Elena who is also a sex doll. Davecat's wife, Sidore Kuroneko, is a lifelike sex doll manufactured by Abyss Creations and retails for around $6,000. While not legally married, Davecat and Sidore have matching wedding rings and are planning a ceremony to mark their 15th anniversary.
2. The Japanese sex doll industry has a unique name for their sex dolls: Dutch Wies. Historically, this is because Dutch sailors are known for spending months at sea trying to creatively solve their "loneliness" problem. They made cloth dolls to satisfy their desires. In French they called her "dame de voyage", while in Spanish sailors called her "dama de viaje". Roughly translated, both terms mean “traveling lady”. Together with the Dutch sailors, they made these leather dolls and were happy to stop in Japanese ports to trade these creations. To date, the history of sex dolls from the Netherlands has stayed with the Japanese.
3. Barbie dolls are now a staple in most children's bedrooms. Although this brand of dolls is very child-friendly today, it has its origins in a more mature environment. In fact, Barbie was originally based on a sex doll. In the 1950s there was a small doll called Bild Lilli in Germany. It was a doll that was modeled on an actress who was particularly popular and attractive in Germany and was specially made for adult men. This erotic doll was very popular among the people of that time. The American toy manufacturers took notice and developed a child-friendly doll. Now adult pupae appear that physically resemble the old pupae.
4.Sex dolls can become very realistic. From the posability and maneuverability of the limbs to the hair detail on the eyebrows, thanks to careful craftsmanship and careful manufacturing, sex dolls can be almost impossible to look real. But did you know that your weight can also become very realistic? Sex dolls can be very heavy, weighing anywhere from 75 to 115 pounds. This is probably one of the reasons why not too many women use sex dolls. The weight makes moving a little workout. 5.
5.Many sex doll manufacturers also offer male variants of sex dolls. On average, however, these only account for around 10% of total sales. It probably doesn't help that there's a much smaller selection of male sex dolls and a lot less customization options than there are with female dolls.
