History of Sex Dolls
People have always been obsessed with sex. Probably this is why people found methods to engage in this activity of pleasure so that they can quench this thirst. Sex dolls are one of these methods. From different sizes to genders, sex dolls come with a variety of options that one can easily opt for.
However, sex dolls weren’t created now. They have been in the market for the past many decades, each era having their own kind of dolls. Let’s take a look at the history of these sex dolls that have been present in our world:
15th Century
The 15th century was the time when probably the first real sex dolls were created. Though these weren’t made by reputed people or those who were in dire need to make a breakthrough. Sailors moving through the sea brought sewn cloth dolls that would help them get comfortable on long voyages. These were called as Dame De Voyage, Dama De Vinje or Seemannsbraut as by the sailors from different areas.
1941-Nazi’s Sex Doll
Deaths in wars not only result due to bullets piercing bodies but also due to diseases that arise in the soldiers. STDs were the most common of the diseases that were lurking during world war 1 and 2. Germans were suffering from them a lot and the German SS leader Heinrich Himmler came up with the idea of creating sex dolls for the soldiers so that deaths due to STDs can be reduced.
As a result, vigorous working on the project was done, which was known as project “more secret than top secret.” The requirements were straight and simple. The size of the cups for the doll’s breast was defined as following: A:168 cm bust, B:176 cm bust, C: 182 cm bust. Moreover, Himmler also stated that the cup size and the breast is to be created full and round so that one can get a firm grip on it. There should be a rose grip for the hip so that it could be gripped and enjoyed. While these requirements were discussed, everyone agreed on creating a cheeky and naughty look for the doll as it would entice the soldiers.
The face was borrowed from Kathe von Nagy; however, she declined while suggesting an artificial face for the doll. The doll was created only to facilitate the soldiers and it was decided that it wouldn’t be used for commons since they didn’t want to replace women of the community. The model was created and used. Later it even allowed to crate Barbie dolls for Ladys.
EARLY 80’s
The 19th century highlighted the birth of sex robots with the first ever sex robot of the world. Made by a British Company, Sex Objects Ltd. “36C” was a 16-bit voice synthesizer and microprocessor that responded to primitive push buttons and voice inputs. And that was enough to turn men on who got aroused just by hearing Stephen Hawking talk.
1977-Orient Industries
Japanese “Orient Industries” launched DongFang dolls. These dolls were basically created for people with disabilities so that they can cater to their sexual urges. However, the quality of the doll was extremely poor. It couldn’t be used in many positions and it was difficult for people to even use them in the first place. However, the doll was quite regarded, which is why it was quite expensive as well.
Later sex doll “Face Shadow” was launched that had a visible skeleton made from polyurethane polymer materials. This material gave subtle texture as well as illuminated underlying muscles and vessels.
1987- Britains Lifts Prohibition on Importing Dirty Stuff
1987 was a turning point in the world of sex dolls. A group of sex-antagonists began a court case in Great Britain in the year 1982 to block the importation of sex dolls which they called “Obscene or Indecent” items. This five year long battle was won by Sex companies and prompted the infamous British cry, “The British are cumming! The British are cumming!”
1996 – FIRST “REALISTIC” SEX DOLL CREATED
1996 marked the rise of Matt McMullen’s new venture, that went by the name, “Real Dolls” which eventually became one of the most popular manufacturers of sex dolls in the world. At 29, Matt McMullen made the first anatomically correct female sex doll and called her Leah.

Mid-20th Century
Worried about the personnel sent to Antarctica on an expedition, the Japanese government funded a program that would manufacture emotional dolls. These dolls were to be manufactured using high-quality silicone, minimizing the effects of abstinence that can affect the mental and physical health of the personnel sent on expeditions. The doll was named “Antarctica No.1.”
2005- Japanese Company Begins Renting out Dutch Wives
Don’t worry, Japanese companies did not actually rent out actual Dutch wives to people. Dutch wives were the term that Japanese use for silicone sex dolls. This piqued Japanese’ interest in sex dolls and by the end of 2005, a Japanese sex doll company called Forest Dolls had over 40 shops all over the world.

As disturbing as that might sound, people did seem to enjoy it all.

Costing a mere $7,000, Roxxy had diverse personalities ranging from Wild Wendy to Frigid Farrah. So, if like outgoing Ladys then you can have the Wild Wendy but if you get turned on by timid and shy librarians then Frigid Farrah will make your sex fantasies come true.
