10 Interesting Facts About Love Doll
With the latest trend of love dolls becoming more and more popular, you'd be surprised at how many strange facts and figures there are about this phenomenon.
Here are some stories you probably don't need to know about sex dolls:
1. while most sex doll owners simply see lovedoll as toys, some go a step further and see these dolls as true companions.
An extreme example is Dave Carter of Michigan, USA. He married a sex doll named Heydorn and later bought a sex doll named Elena. The dolls were all made by Abyss and sold for about $6,000.
Although they are not legally married, they have matching wedding rings and are planning a ceremony to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary.
2. The Japanese love doll industry refers to these dolls as “Dutch wives”.
Historically, this is because Dutch sailors spent months at sea trying to solve their “loneliness” problem in various creative ways, and ended up making sex dolls out of rags, etc. In French, they are called “Dutch wives”. In French, they were called “Lady of the Voyage” and in Spanish, “Lady of the Voyage”. Both terms can be roughly translated as “Lady Voyager”.
These sailors made custom sex doll out of leather and sold them to the Japanese when they docked in Japanese ports. As a result, the history of Dutch sex dolls remains in Japan today.
3.Today Barbie love dolls are a necessity for most children's childhood. While this brand of doll is now kid-friendly, it actually has much older origins.
In fact, Barbie was originally designed based on love dolls. Back in the 1950s, a doll called “Bild Lilli” was introduced in Germany, based on a popular German actress at the time, and aimed at adults. These dolls were very popular at the time, and American toy manufacturers also noticed this and designed Barbie dolls that were more suitable for children.
4. Sex dolls can be very realistic. From the internal alloy structure to the detailing of the eyebrows, superb craftsmanship makes sex dolls almost lifelike. But this also makes them very heavy, weighing between 30 and 55 kilograms. This is perhaps one of the reasons why so few women buy sex dolls. Such a heavy weight makes moving them an exercise.
5. Many love doll manufacturers offer male sex dolls, but these products only account for about 10% of total sales on average.
It probably doesn't help that men have far fewer choices than women when it comes to sex dolls, and far fewer customization options than women's sex dolls.
6. Because of their loyalty to the sex doll industry and culture, they like to refer to themselves as “friends of the kids”.
This fanbase revolves around their collective love of sex dolls, and many of their little friends fantasize about sex dolls and become really good friends.
Most people find it too difficult to interact with real people, so they turn to celebrity sex doll. Many will argue that artificial objects don't lie, cheat or criticize you like real people do.
7. Steven Shubin, the inventor of Fleshlight, has been creating synthetic love dolls since 1995.
Creative and technical, he patented a mannequin filled with an oil-based elastomer. Later, in 1996, he patented an invention of his own, which he eventually named "Fleshlight.
8. Howard Stern was known for his mischievous antics on the show, but he may have been one of the main reasons why sex dolls were so popular in the 1990s!
He then ordered a sex doll for his show and advertised it on air. Thanks to the show's effectiveness, orders for the doll increased dramatically. Now, the company is able to sell as many as 300 dolls per year, each selling for at least 5,500 dollars. Needless to say, the company owes its income to him.
9. More sophisticated industry models have also begun to notice the growing popularity of sex dolls.
Until now, the customization industry in Japan has also tried to buy sex dolls and open entertainment venues in developed areas such as Tokyo. The creative use of sex dolls doesn't stop there for the Japanese - they have made a movie called “Air Doll” featuring a silicone inflatable doll named Xiao Wang, and the movie tells the story of her emotional experience of turning from a love doll into a real person.
10. the more realistic a love doll is, the creepier and more disgusting it becomes.
Back in 1970, robotics engineer Masahiro Mori observed that the closer the artificial human body got to the real thing, the more disturbing it became. This phenomenon is known as the “Valley of Terror”. If robots were like Transformers, it would be easier for people to accept them, but the closer they are to real people, the more we notice the subtle differences between them and real people.
