What impact do sex dolls have on society?
What is the reaction of people to the popularity of sex dolls?
This article began with a simple observation. At some point, sex toys will be commonplace. It doesn’t matter how we phrase it, but the problem is that this phrasing portrays something very odd.
We could have said the number of sex toys is increasing,but this would portray a small army with erotic looks, ready to attack. Sex Dolls Are on the Rise Project’s Similar Mental Imagery, whereas s Ex dolls Are Coming Suggesting something completely Different.
Let’s keep things simple and say that in the near future, perhaps not during our lifetimes, but not too long from now, owning a sex toy will no longer be considered quirky, funny, or risque. Peers, family, colleagues, and friends will no longer raise their eyebrows. It may be hard to believe, but in the future owning a sex doll will be as commonplace as owning an iPhone.
Many people disagree with you. This is a topic that few people have thought about. They would have come to the same conclusion if they had spent more time thinking about it, since history speaks for itself. We could explain.
Ancient Toys
Since thousands of years, adult sex toys exist in some form. Adult toys have come a long way since the first creations 30,000 years ago. Over the past 50 years, an entire industry has developed offering a wide range of sexual aids.
Fleshlights were considered sexually deviant when they first appeared a few decades ago. Today, they’re viewed as a perfectly acceptable device for self-pleasure. So they should.
Changing Sexual Zeitgeist
It wasn’t always that way. In the 1990s, keeping a dildo inside the bedroom drawer was considered incredibly out of bounds. In the past, a plain, simple dildo was equivalent to having your own sex prison in 2023.
What’s the current trend? It’s not shocking to own a dildo or a bedside clock.
sex toys are no different. It’s not an exaggeration to say that if you owned one in the past, your local sheriff could have yanked your front door from its hinges and thrown you into jail. Seriously.
It was not against the law, but the community would label the innocent person as a perverted animal, even though they were released.
In the 1980s and 1990s, sex toys were viewed by most as harmless fun. Acceptedmay be an optimistic description, but the Perverted Beastlabel is a thing from the past. Sex dolls would be brought to stag and hen events for fun. The sex dolls became more playful and less sinister.
Sex dolls are not as popular as dildos or flashlights, but the perception of this type of product is changing as time passes. As with any other sexual aid, sex toys are becoming more and more acceptable.
There is still a long way to go until you can have a picnic with your silicon mistress in a park on a Sunday afternoon. Yet, we are still a long way from there. Although sex toys are no longer viewed as perversions by society, they still carry a stigma among some people. As sex toys become more acceptable, the number of people who hold this view is decreasing.
Why the Stigmatism
Each of these reasons stems from a dated, antiquated way of thinking. The motivations for owning a sexual doll are the same as any other morally and legally acceptable sexual activity. It is purely for pleasure, and no one will be hurt in the process. A sex doll can be compared to a pornomagazine.
Some sections of the society still stigmatize. Although they are no longer stigmatized and accepted, some still hold misconceptions. Some people judge anyone who owns a sex toy as being a “weirdo”.
Emotion
Some people think that sex doll users have a loving relationship between them and their silicon wives. It’s simply not true. The vast majority of people who own sex dolls use them for sexual pleasure and nothing else.
In the minority, there is still a false perception that doll owners whisper sweet nothings to them. Reciting poetry with love. As you express deep, meaningful love to the doll by gently stroking its face. this is not true but it is the image that a large portion of society chooses to hold onto.
Misogyny
A second unfair perception is that the ownership of sex dolls could increase male chauvinism, or toxic masculinity. Some people mistakenly think that sex-doll owners will begin to show less respect for women. They may view silicone dolls and real biological females as second class, or even inferior.
It is obvious that this is ridiculous but it is what it is. It’s not an article on gender equality but we can safely say that over the past 50 years the gender gap has shrunk significantly.
No, we are not suggesting that there is a causal relationship, but neither do we deny the possibility. Adult toys do not create an atmosphere of misogamy. But the most stubborn critics use things like this to smear the scene.
The Future
Imagine a future where sex dolls are walking, talking partners that interact with each other. It is not likely that you will find them in a nurse’s uniform at WallMart, walking hand-in-hand with John Doe down the street. But there may be a future in which sex dolls resemble androids.
It’s a long way off and not something we can expect to see in the near future. Future generations will likely laugh at our old-fashioned and archaic attitudes towards what is basically a sextoy.
In the same way that we laugh at the thought of our grandparents’ generation, who would have found it funny to think a simple dildo was deviant and disgraceful. Our grandchildren might feel the same about sex toys today.
Present Day
We are currently at a crossroads. Although sex dolls are still considered strange by a minority of people, the image we had fifty years ago is thankfully no longer the pervert that it was. The trend will continue to improve, and it will not be long before sex dolls are considered normal.
Almost, but not quite. We can be grateful for the moment that society is becoming more accepting. Things are getting better. It was once quite difficult to buy a sex toy. It’s now just a few clicks away and they’re sold in large numbers, openly, online.
In these modern times, it’s not uncommon to see a sex doll that has its own Instagram. They look more real than the average influencer. Of course we are joking, but it is still true that a sex-doll Instagram account was unthinkable 10 years ago. Now, it’s fine.
We welcome this new narrative and look to the future when owning a doll will be totally common. Slowly but surely the social school of thought has improved, and this alone is worth applauding.
