Do you know how sex dolls came about?

The sex doll industry has an abundance of life-size love dolls, larger than ever, and is constantly evolving. But how did this development come about? Where do the sex dolls originally come from?

Accordingly, the history of life-size sex dolls goes back more than 2,000 years. The Roman poet Ovid published in 8 BC a collection of poems and myths that also included the story of Pygmalion. In the story, Pygmalion, a Cypriot king and sculptor, carves a statue of a beautiful girl named Galatea, whom he falls in love with and wishes to bring to life. His wish was granted when Galatea brought the goddess Aphrodite to life and was able to sleep with Pigmarion.

Others have reported 17th-century Dutch seafarers believed to be the forerunners of real sex dolls. It is said that on their long journeys they searched for sexual partners and made their first primitive real dolls out of old clothes and rags. So it's fair to say that dolls have come a long way. The other two terms are more generic, but this is still the origin of the term Dutch woman, which is sometimes used in place of Realistic sex dolls or love dolls.

While historians are unsure whether Ovid's poem or the Dutch sailor is the real source of the sex doll, one thing is clear: Man has been with beautiful men for centuries, and to socialize people I created a woman .

First mentioned in 1908 by the German psychiatrist Ivan Bloch in his book Sex Dolls - made out of rubber and sold in Paris around the turn of the century. Each of these real dolls should have been custom made by a doctor.

The German surrealist Hans Bellmer became known as the "father of the modern sex doll" in the 1930s through his sex dolls. The international art world has also caused a stir. It was around this time that other manufacturers began using vinyl and latex to make real dolls. However, making and selling sex dolls has always been an illegal activity. Sex dolls were not only offered for sale, but were limited to clandestine distribution of catalogues, mainly in places frequented by men, such as barber shops, bars and brothels.

That changed abruptly in 1968 when an American porn magazine used sex dolls for the first time. It can be ordered by mail order. The use of silicone in the 1970's resulted in her becoming a very high quality love doll.

When the government changed regulations governing the importation of sex toys in the late 1980s, more innovative sex dolls finally became available in the UK. In the 1990s, the sex doll industry set a new milestone in terms of innovation. Artist Matt McMullen may have created the first truly modern sex dolls.

However, the greatest contribution to the development of the sex doll industry was the invention of the internet. Suddenly, sex doll manufacturers and buyers from all over the world were connected online and able to exchange information about the latest models on the market - a community of sex doll enthusiasts was born. The internet has also made buying sex dolls a lot easier as there is more choice.

Real dolls are more real today than ever. Luxury dolls like Doll Club have very realistic skin and come in a wide range of variants, hair colors and clothes. At the same time, customers even have the opportunity to design their own dolls according to their own ideas and preferences.
